THREE months after its debut, Tiffin at the Yard will hold the second incarnation of ‘The Big Feast’, this time themed Smoke & Fire, from June 23 to 26. The feasting will kick off with Thursday Supper Club featuring chef Gary Anwar and his team from Ember Modern Bistro, will fire up the grill with never-before-seen dishes in a six-course menu of local produce imbued with heritage tinges.
As always with The Big Feast weekends, the food hall vendors will each present a special dish in theme, just for the four-day period. Newcomers TKFB (The Kids From Borneo) are slinging ‘Mi Wak’, featuring charred Australian sirloin and handmade noodles in a sweet potato gravy. Phil’s Pizza will serve New York-style pie slices with smoky duck slices, while Deep South puts forth tongue-tingling Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Papaya-Pineapple Slaw on Brioche.
Crowd favourites, Fratelli Pastificio is going all out with Charred Eggplant Gnocchi in Fiery Tomato Sauce, while Leen’s is offering Beef Kebabs with Cherry Jam & Nuts. Lovers of Mexican fare can look forward to Taco King’s Lamb Barbacoa Taco, and Dan Dan & Che Chem’s Rendang Nachos.
Meanwhile, Cooper’s by W1 will have Barbecued Bangers & Caramelised Onion Mash on the pass, and Southern Rock Seafood keeps it simple with Whole Rainbow Trout seared on the grill. The sweeter offerings will be available too, such as Lush Bowl’s Grilled Pineapple Lemonade and Acai Bowls, and Minus 4 Degrees’ Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Smoked Vanilla Ice Cream.
Guest chefs will also feature in pop-ups on Saturday and Sunday – chef Tubby of Curbside Cantina is heating things up with Mexicana offerings such as Roja Verde Pescado and Asada Brisket Platter on both days, while chef Roberto Solanes and chef Jalal of Kuala Lumpur’s cult Spanish Yakitori bar Palillos will be cooking over flaming hot binchotan coals on the Sunday, serving mouthwatering bites of Engawa Flounder Fin with Tare and Chicken Tail with Yuzu and much more.
On the weekend, there will be two sessions of smoky profile Chocolate & Wine pairings by Chocolate Concierge – purveyor of Malaysian single-origin, artisan chocolates, and wine specialist Danny Tai, on the Saturday. The following day will see ‘Smoky Sips’, a rum-centric cocktail flight with Junglebird KL – no.35 on the Asia’s Top 50 Bar list, with cocktails crafted specifically to the Smoke & Fire feast. There will also be Sketch & Swirl workshops by Le Masterpiece: charcoal drawing on the Saturday, and an acrylic painting on Sunday, to round things out.
Since its launch in November, the 20,000 sq ft food paradise has blossomed, wowing foodies not just with its eclectic and evolving mix of tenants and events, but also with its spacious, semi-alfresco setting and ample parking. – The Vibes, June 21, 2022
