Whisky Tango Foxtrot @ Medan Damansara

This speakeasy-style lounge, showcasing whisky & cigars, is making Medan Damansara even more of a magnet for patrons needing a nice night out after office hours.

Shrouded in masculine shades on the second floor above this rows renowned restaurants, Whisky Tango Foxtrot might look like a gentlemans club, but tongue-in-cheek signboard aside, rest assured that women are welcome here.

Cigars aplenty for aficionados, hailing from Cuba, Cameroon, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua & more. Folks forking out membership fees can secure private humidors inscribed with their own initials to store their purchased cigars.

The lounge isnt large, so itll easily be crowded once night falls. Reservations are recommended.

Whiskies & wine are available only by the bottle; our wallets might endure a hit.

House-made gnocchi with lamb chorizo sausages & ricotta cheese in red pepper sauce.

Wood-fire-oven-roasted beef ribs in a reduction of red wine sauce.

Poached fillet of king fish with creamy mascarpone spinach sauce.

Squid ink risotto with baby octopus & squid.

Not consumed at Whisky Tango Foxtrot, but La Risatas house wine is well chosen.

Theoretically, Whisky Tango Foxtrots customers can also order from Gills, but we opted to stroll there instead, simply for old times sake, since it had been years since our most recent visit to this Indian institution.

Gills seems to be less popular these days, but thats a shame, since plenty of pleasures remain on its menu, including kebabs mixed with minced chicken, lentils, potatoes, beans & cheese.

Good gravy: Lamb keema with eggs, herbs & spices pairs perfectly with maharaja pilau rice.

Wine & lassi to wrap up a weekday night when thoughts of work needed to be banished.
