Jarrod & Rawlins @ Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur

According to their website, the origins of this restaurant actually date back to a conversation in 2004 between two friends by the names of Jarrod Chek and Denis Rawlins. Whilst socializing, sharing a drink together one evening, the two began to speculate upon the idea of going into a joint venture business; being as they were already working in what seemed to be complimentary fields. One potential partner was working in the manufacture of meat products, and the other marketing imported fine wines. Food and wine, natural partners, and so shortly after this first speculative conversation, the company of Jarrod & Rawlins purveyors of fine food and wine, was formed and the first outlet in Desa Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur opened for business.

In this branch, Jarrod & Rawlins presents several facets to their customers. They serve hearty breakfasts, lunchtime sandwich, other snacks and coffee, a cozy pub with good beer, wines, and pub food, a restaurant to take your dinner in the evening, and of course, not forgetting the delicatessen where one can find a good selection of meat, antipasti and wines.

Let’s start with a basic sandwich, Bacon Sandwich. Fresh grilled Bacon and use freshly baked wheat bread. It’s tangy and bacon is crispy. Yum yum…but it’s a bit salty.


Then if you craving for some heavy breakfast, do try the J&R Special. It comes with 2 organic eggs with your choice of cooking style, grilled tomatoes, extra sausages, extra bacon, mushrooms, Heinz Baked Bean and wheat bread toast. Also comes with coffee or tea and orange juice. The sausages are very good, sure patrons will enjoy it. The bacon is crispy and mushroom is average. But somehow La Bodega Breakfast set is bit better than them.



If you can’t finish such a big portion, you can opt for J&R Fried Breakfast; it’s the same thing you are getting from J&R Special but with a single piece of sausage and bacon.

Of course, patrons can always go for Ala-carte like ordering food from the cold storage area where they display all types of sausages, pork, bacon and cheeses. Like this dish below, there are grilled spare ribs (cut into pieces), pork & herbs sausages and pig in blanket. It also comes with garden salad. The grilled spare ribs is scrumptious and the sausages are also tangy.


The J&R’s Eggs Benedict “Indulgence”. It is a dish that consists of a half of an English Muffin, topped with ham or bacon, poached eggs, and hollandaise sauce. Tasty and yummy…..
