The George & Dragon Pub @ Bangsar Shopping Centre

Hola!! I am back!! Bringing the legend of St. George to everyone!

What about Saint George and The Dragon Legend? I have just learned it today and will definitely share with everyone at the end of this post.

Back to The George & Dragon Pub, the naming of the pub cum restaurant was inspired by the legend of St George. In the Middle Ages, the dragon was commonly used to represent the Devil, and Saint George was the famous heroic legend. Thus, the George and Dragon is a place where the heroes, princesses and the devils meet, what will happen there, is all up to your imagination!

The George & Dragon Pub @ Bangsar Shopping Centre

Pan fried- Spicy Pork Sausage, a fresh plum and spicy sliced sausages spiced up with red pepper,garlic and onions. Aromatic!

Grilled Salmon Fettuccini Set @ RM 16.00 Nett

Al dente fettucini served light and yet tasteful alfredo sauce and perfectly grilled fresh salmon

Chicken Chop Set @ RM 16.00

An a plate of simple yet deliciously prepared chicken chop served with mashed potato and vegetables. Thumbs up!

George and Dragon Pub carried a unique traditional English pub concept. It's definitely a perfect place for quiet lunch at noon and an ideal pub to chill out at night or perhaps, happy hour?

Lastly, not forgetting to thank my fellow colleagues for buying me lunch. Appreciate that!
