Library @ the Curve

Recently revisited the library @ the curve on a Wednesday with great disappointment. Firstly, we ordered a a jug of carlsberg which didn't taste very fresh. Secondly, we decided to get more beer, so we ordered a few pints of Kronenbourg. But our group was greatly disappointed when the beers came as it was plainly flat and tasteless. Being regular drinkers of Kronenbourg, a friend complaint to our waiter - who obviously wasn't well trained in English and could not understand our explanations. The manager came around and took our drinks for a taste, after a long while, he came back and told us there are "2" types of Kronenbourg, and the ones served to us were a lighter brew, and didn't offer to change our drinks, despite our displeased. Dear manager, a lighter brew is not an explanation for flat, tasteless beer. We were the only customers at the late weekday night and service was poor. This once popular hang-out is definitely losing its shine thru poor service and bad drinks. As paying customers, it's a shame Malaysians aren't voicing out more on tasteless beers being served at bars that are just interested in making more money.

Starker @ Overtime


Here we are at Overtime, a bar & restaurant at Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara. This is the second outlet, the first was opened last year at the old Life Center along Jalan Sultan Ismail. Special only at Overtime is their acclaimed freshly brewed beer from Klang, called Starker. 


Starker has 2 flavours - the aromatic flavour (claimed to taste like Hoegaarden) and the slightly stronger flavour.

Happy hour starts from early evening till 7pm. A pint of Starker is RM34.50 nett. Happy hour promotion is buy 1 free 1. They also sell by the barrel and you get 5 pints free during happy hour. Food is served at Overtime, however it is on the pricey side. A basket of french fries will set you back RM8.

Parking is still free at Sunway Giza or there's plenty of road parking - free in the evenings.

Drinkers Verdict
  • Starker is an easy to drink beer, not very strong. The taste is fresh as we saw the delivery of new barrel beers coming into the outlet. After 2 pints you can expect to feel pretty happy. However, the price is too high for locally brewed beer. So it is best to come during happy hour. 
  • It is also not worthwhile to eat at Overtime, but no worries, there's plenty of eating outlets at Giza - Italian, Japanese, Ipoh chicken rice or around Kota Damansara - just opposite is a mamak, down the road is Hokkien Mee, Thai food, Korean food, Kopitiam and even Vegetarian.
