In June, we bought a pair of Dealmates vouchers for a meal at Barbarillos. But until last Sunday, we weren't able to book a table for two, despite my calling them 5 or 6 days ahead. It was not until when we arrived at Barbarillos last Sunday did I understand why they couldn't honour our prepaid vouchers before that.....Barbarillos is a small, cozy pub restaurant.
For RM29.90 each (instead of RM95.60), we get a choice of starter, a choice of main course, a choice of dessert, a choice of 1 mug of draft beer or free flow of iced lemon tea, followed by a cup of hot tea or coffee.
We chose the beer over the free flow of iced lemon tea, though I didn't remember to take any pictures until we've drunk a quarter of it. Yumm....I love cold Tiger draft.....
The bruschetta was not good. Instead of using olive oil and fresh tomatoes, Barbarillos used those bottled tomato sauce like Prego's or Leggo's. It tasted really weird...like a pizza crust with tomato sauce, but without any toppings. Not recommended.
The wild mushroom soup was not any better either. There was not even a hint of the wild mushroom in it. It could have passed for a canned soup, and perhaps it was, now that we know it's a pub restaurant and not a 'real' restaurant.
Both of us had the salmon fillet with lemon butter sauce, but while I opted for potato wedges, hubby chose the mashed potato. It was slightly better than the soup or bruschetta, but still, the kitchen was a bit too liberal with the salt.
Again, both of us ordered the same thing -- warm chocolate brownies. It was edible, not too bad, after a not so good meal.
I would return for the beer, but not the food.
