Taps Beer Bar this year introduced experiments to pair food & beer for maximum enjoyment of both; worth a shot, even (or especially) for those of us whose appreciation of beer feels minimal.
The menu explains which food complements or enhances which beer; both the food & the beer sound interesting & prove tasty, so that's a hefty bonus.
No mere, mundane bar snack: Roasted pumpkin with hummus, coriander & chili ...
... complements Blonde/Pilsner, enhances Amber Ale.
The pairing seems harmonious, though our beer-tasting palate isn't experienced enough to discern the details of the 'complement/enhance' aspect.
Double cheese souffle, featuring pecorino & goat's cheese (RM15), rich but not cloying.
Taps' beef burger is worthwhile too, with onion rings, egg, guacamole & mozzarella cheese.
Robust fare deserves to be drawn with deeper, darker brews.
Also a fan of Taps' pizzas; try the one with egg yolk, basil & anchovies (RM16).
Cleanse the sinfulness of all that with a nice, ripe tomato salad (RM12) ...
... or a mushroom one (RM18), perfect to partner with the Mountain Goat organic Steam Ale. Prices at Taps are pretty pleasing.
