Where there's a Will: This playful new watering hole, which boasts a cool cartoon fox named Will for its mascot, specialises in smoky skewers with a twist or two, mainly spanning poultry & pork, from Marmite onion chicken (RM10 for two sticks) to Purple Bacon (RM12; rolled with grapes) & pork belly with enoki & shiitake mushrooms (RM16). Each skewer we tried was substantial in portion, tender, well-marinated & capably seasoned with herbs & spices. Seafood skewers include tiger prawns & scallops.
Plenty of other tasty grilled pleasures are available for a full meal - Formosa sausages (RM9), otak-otak brought in from Muar (RM9 for five pieces), as well as signatures like Gummy Dumbtatoes (RM6; the sweetest of sweet potatoes, turned into chewy tidbits), 'Slightly Burnt' Pineapples & Belacan Eggplant. No lack of fried fare either, with luncheon meat fries (RM14) & tofu fries (RM13) meant to pair well with beer - try the relatively new Guinness Bright, with strong notes of ginger punctuated by coffee & lemongrass (RM14 during GBW's 4pm-9pm happy hours; RM16 thereafter).
Service is warm & enthusiastic; GBW's founders include former staffers of a design firm, which explains the fun & savvy visual flourishes here.
