Stone Bridge Galley Soft Opening
Earlier last week, I got back (from Singapore) just in time to invite a few friends for the Stone Bridge Galley Soft Opening and Food Tasting event, which was held on Tuesday October 13th, 2009, between 11:00am to 1:00pm. There were about 100 people who came to celebrate and have some yummy-yums.

We prepared a spread of 14 dishes to tantalize and showcase Stone Bridge Galley’s offerings, including our signature Homemade Smoked Bacon and British Pork Sausages. Needless to say, we knew it was going to disappear in no time because that’s what inspired our immediate relocation!
However, what amused me most was when I heard from the grapevine that someone had admitted to scarfing down RM60 worth of sausages. It sure puts a smile on my face when I think about how insane people thought I was when I told them I was going to make British sausages in Borneo.
In addition to luring our potential customers with British food, a fanfare of Homestyle Hakka favorites were added to our existing menu and presented during the luncheon. For the longest time now, my dad and I have been thinking that there really isn’t a place to go for good Hakka food in K.K.
Hard-to-find “slow-cooked” dishes from the yesteryears like Stewed Pig Trotters in Sweet Black Vinegar (below) and Braised Moi Choy Pork Belly were among the dishes that got some of our guests very excited.

By the time I managed to get some time away from networking with guests, the buffet spread had already been devoured despite several rounds of topping up.

What I did manage to capture however, are pictures of some of our guests after the gorging session. This one in particular is with mon pere Mr. Charles Miao, who is the true visionary behind the story of Stone Bridge Galley.

And here are some of my guests. Ywan (in white) is the entrepreneur behind the beautiful schooner yacht, The Raja Laut. You have not lived until you experience what it’s like to be sailed into the tropical yonder on a European-engineered luxury Malay schooner yacht. Do check out their website for information on the boat!

Finally, here’s a picture of two of my girlfriends and I. If you’re noticing that ghastly strip of tan line yet again (not so different from the one in all my PR photos for the Best Job in the World), it is because it has been virtually impossible to restrain my soul from seeking activity in the sun before finding time to get a bikini like this.

Anyhow, the new Stone Bridge Galley has been opened for a week now and it has been encouraging to see repeat customers ordering the same thing when they come back the second, third and fourth time around! If you haven’t had a chance to try our food, come on over and definitely try our Full-English Breakfast!
Here’s where we’re located:-
