Morganfield’s

Special thanks to Morganfield’s for extending this food review invitation.

Morganfield’s is renowned for its “Sticky Bones”, i.e. succulent pork ribs basted with special sauces. This barbecue restaurant chain presents a rustic appearance with elements of wood and bricks.

Most outlets, including this one in Queensbay Mall, allow al fresco dining. Customers can also choose to be seated at the bar if they are only having drinks. Overall, the laid-back atmosphere makes this place the perfect spot for dining with friends and family.

In celebration of the 7 years since its first outlet at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Morganfield’s is having the 7th Anniversary promotion. From 1 July 2018 to 15 August 2018, customers can choose either the Anniversary Platter (RM219.90) for 3 or 4 persons, or the Mini Anniversary Platter (RM98.90) for 2 persons.

The Anniversary Platter consists of a full slab of Sticky Bones, 2 sausages, 2 Asian Herb Chicken Skewers, 4 BBQ Chicken Wings, Mr. Calamari, Pilaf Rice, Garden Salad, Mixed Vegetables and dipping sauce. The meal also comes with 2 complimentary desserts of the day. In the spirit of patriotism, Morganfield’s will donate RM3.00 to Tabung Harapan Malaysia for every Anniversary Platter ordered.

Since we have been having the signature Hickory BBQ Spare Ribs previously, it is high time we try something different: Garlicky BBQ Spare Ribs. The ribs are marinated overnight and slow-cooked for several hours until they become delightfully tender. The Sticky Bones are basted with tangy sauce, and then topped with crispy garlic crumbs. The pungent aroma substantially improves the appeal of the succulent ribs!

Also included are two of Morganfield’s homemade sausages: Spicy Devil and Herby Hog. As for poultry, there are Asian Herb Chicken Skewers and BBQ Chicken Wings. Meanwhile, Mr. Calamari (fried calamari) goes well with the sweet-and-spicy dip. Last but not least, the cup of Pilaf Rice balances everything out with its gentle texture.

7 Heaven (RM15.90) is a special beverage on the 7th Anniversary menu. Made from carbonated water and fruit juices, the mocktail comprises of 4 distinct layers: Blue Lagoon syrup, pineapple juice, cranberry juice and orange juice. I believe the 4 layers represent the colors of the Malaysian flag: blue, yellow, red and white. The drink is decorated with orange zest on the rim.

We also ordered other mocktails from the regular menu. Agua Fresca (RM16.90) and Cucumber, Apple, Mint Spritz (RM16.90) each comes with a scoop of calamansi sorbet. Meanwhile, the Sour Plum Mojito (RM15.90) follows the classic mojito concoction minus the rum, but with a tangy twist of sour plum!
