menu at a glance

Serving an array of Western delights ranging from tidbits and salad to mouthwatering main courses with signature dishes such as the Honey Comb Baby Pork Ribs, Crispy Roasted Pork Knuckle, tasty Pork Burger and unique pizza, this is definitely a new place in town I'll be happy to dine in when craving for some hearty delights or simply to chill out with a pint or two ^^

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms ^^

BBQ Chicken Wings (RM 32) 

From brunch to dinner the creative menu of the White Horse Tavern is never short on options. Topped with generous portion of poached eggs, Dad's Breakfast Pizza with warm yolk flows over the cheesy bacon would make a comforting breakfast any day of the week for those who seek for a morning boost. If you're up for some lavish dinner, the signature grilled and baked to perfection Honey Comb Glazed Pork Ribs topped with fresh natural honey comb collected personally by the chef from Cameron Highlands is one lovely dish you'd like to have it on your table ;)

Dad's Breakfast Pizza, eggs, sausages, bacon, mushroom and hash browns with Cheddar Cheese (RM 28)

Deep Dish Alfredo Pizza, Gouda Cheese, cream and grilled fin fish (RM 32) b^^d

Fish Gratin served with creamy mashed potatoes, leeks, carrots and zucchini (RM 35) b^^d

The Crispy Roasted Pork Knuckle is my personal favourite here at the White Horse Tavern, steamed and roasted to perfection the crackling pork skin covering the tender tasty meat is simply irresistible, flavorful on its own and even better with a touch of apple compote b^^d

Feel like having something which is good for one? My recommendation would be the Pork Burger. A 180 g nicely fried succulent pork meat patty with caramelised onion, coleslaw & gherkins sandwich between two squishy soft burger buns, served with chips, salad and homemade WHT Hellfire Sauce, trust me it does taste as good as it sounds b^^d

Minced Beef Pie served with jacket potato, green salad and sauteed vegetables (RM 38) ^^

Chicken Mushroom Pie served with creamy mashed potatoand sauteed vegetables (RM 38) ^^

check out the abundance beef filling ;)

Bread and Butter Pudding

Other than the mouthwatering menu, the fresh food display fridge, a pretty eye-catching curved glass door chiller placed right beside the bar is something not to be missed while visiting the White Horse Tavern. Showcasing an array of fresh meats, flavoured steaks, sausages and pies, this is my kinda way of ordering food as I could easily mix and match to create my personal favourite platter rather than trying to read the whole menu ^^

Lifecycle Planning: Ultimate Solo Freedom Vs Family Commitment

People sometimes wonder.. How does it feel to be a single man?

Well for starters you’re nobody's first priority..

Everyone is part of a couple..

Physical touch is a thing for other people..

Jealousy is green and ugly and real..

A lovely sunny Sunday morning seems so dull as if something's missing..

No one gets it..

.

.

Well if that’s what you have in mind here’s something that might give you a second thought—— It's called the privileges of a single freelancer a.k.a a life without limits #TheUltimateFreedomOfBeingAlive :P

Which kinda looks like this ↓ Go Anyway Anytime You Want

Like this ↓↓ No Explanations Or Excuses

Like this ↓↓↓ House Rules Are Your Rules

And like this ↓↓↓↓ NBA Weekend at Home instead of Handbag Man at Mall

And like this ↓↓↓↓↓ Not having to do stuff you don't want to

↓↓↓↓↓The unlimited sense of FREEDOM↓↓↓↓↓

That being said, while single life is ridiculously awesome, still life is more than just momentary enjoyment and it is always wise to look further. The time will come where the picture of life shift from solo to family..

And family life can be pretty overwhelming..

And sometimes a tad exhausting..

ok maybe more :P

Hence, a solid financial plan is essential for every man who seeks for a comfy enjoyable retirement years. 

Entering the first month of 2016, it is right about time to roll out the new year resolutions. Adding on to the fundamental idea of living-life-to-the-fullest (#lifewithoutlimits ^^), securing a comfortable future with worry-free post-retirement life will be something new to look forward to in my 2016 New Year's Resolutions. It’s hard at times for people like us to decide on choosing an insurance plan that provides the correct amount of coverage. And who do we buy from – so many insurance companies in town. Do like what I’ve done – I took a tour toSun Life Malaysia Money For Life portal – it has a game thingy that helps me visualise my future and decide on my future financial needs. Simple enough for all to understand! And after that, I just left my details online and their financial advisor called me up for an in-depth explanation on a suitable plan based on my needs.

Something that looks like this ↓↓↓
