33 Blue Room, Woosa & The Papas Kitchen

Kind of blue: This jazz & wine bar promises a touch of elegance that's thoroughly unexpected in a PJ industrial enclave. Its menu puts pork on a pedestal - wine-glazed sticky belly with saffron potato mash, scallions & parmesan pepper migas takes a place of pride during dinnertime (RM38; this could benefit from vegetable components or some sauce for balancing), while the baby back ribs spaghetti (RM28) is a day-&-night temptation, featuring home-cooked umami flavours that'll prove familiar for Asian/Chinese palates, though the pork & pasta feel like two separate elements instead of complementing each other in a cohesive recipe. Still, 33 Blue Room has made a marked effort; there's potential here once the venue finds its surest footing.

Dry bak kut teh with chillies (RM19.80), tender-spicy wild boar rendang with onion butter rice (RM22.80) & mee hoon with pork-stuffed fish balls in a savoury ginger & shiitake broth (RM19.80) - there's no mistaking which meat motivates Woosa (oink!), which works well enough for a fuss-free lunch or dinner with a beer or colourful cocktail.
