(chicken wings) (grilled beef brisket)
done digging the bottle shop area, now its time to try out W&S' signature dishes! apparently they chose western food as their main menu because the variety of dishes is highly suitable for wine pairing. of course, in order to cater to different palates W&S also serves other categories, like asian food for instance. for a warm up, grilled beef brisket is a wonderful dish you shouldnt miss! its a slow roasted brisket with a texture that goes oh so tender in every bite, plus it is topped with chimicurri that provides a crisp and refreshing aftertaste. other than that theres also chicken swarma, that is basically chicken wrapped in pita bread and served with corns and chili mayo. these menus come in pretty big portions that can fill up to two tummies, and especially fantastic when served with a glass of wine.
(rottiserrie chicken) (summer breeze)
one of W&S' specialties is rottiserrie chicken. it comes in a full portion of whole chicken that can satisfy 4 up to 6 people, complete with roasted potato and gravy. before this wonderful menu is served, the chicken has been marinated for hours to make sure the seasonings perfectly seeped in to the bone. i was quite surprised when i found out that this exclusive menu only costs 145k for A WHOLE portion, which is very affordable for a dish this sumptuous and delicate! you can also order it in half portion or 1/4. Before leaving, don' miss the special cocktails and mocktails creations that are served directly by the bartenders at the bar section. you may pick the fresh and fruity one like peach bizzare or tropical flush, or the mild-textured and creamy one such as velvety nutella. it was definitely such a pleasant experience to hang out at W&S. the cool ambience plus the great selections of food and drinks that are priced reasonably made it worth a visit!
