BY CK Lam

For those who adore a good meal of meat, it is well worth a visit to Farquhar’s Bar at E & O Hotel Penang. The 35-seater English-style bar done up in dark wood brings a breath of fresh air to Penang’s food scene with the serving of their Eat-All-You-Can Traditional Sunday Roast.

Farquhar Bar, Sunday Roast

 

Available only on Sundays, the menu is pretty straight forward. Guests are catered for with a selection of Roast Side of Beef, Roast Chicken Breast (with sage & onion stuffing)  and Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder.

The deeply flavored roasts doctored with a blend of comforting fresh herbs arrived on trays with accompaniments such as Yorkshire pudding, goose-fat roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

The chef carves out portions of chicken, lamb and beef before heaping them on the plate together with Yorkshire pudding, goose-fat roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Follow this up with your choice of sauce: mint sauce, horseradish and Dijon mustard.
