Beard Brothers’ BBQ has been getting a lot of hype and justifiably so. They do American style barbecue — smoked with wood with the mantra “slow and low”. The low heat helps bring a pink smoke ring to the meat products while retaining moisture. They have beef ribs, beef brisket, lamb and chicken — and they smoke all their meat in-house. You can pop behind and see the huge racks of wood beside the smokers. I love their flavourful and fork-tender beef brisket. Delicious! You owe it to yourself to check out this place if you’re a meat lover.
Stiq is a “permanent food truck” located in Wangsa Maju. They serve lamb, beef and chicken products at a reasonable price. The beef steak is just RM27 and comes with a free soft drink. All their meat goes through a sous vide (temperature controlled water bath) process before being grilled so it’s tender and juicy. They only serve it at one doneness though — medium, so you can’t have it rare or well done, but considering the price, it’s a minor quibble.
Shoppers will find this stop useful as it is located near the Dataran Sunway commercial area where Sunway Giza Shopping Centre and Sunway Nexis are found.
There are two entrances: Entrance A and Entrance B. A pedestrian link bridge connects Entrance B with the Sunway Nexis development while an elevated pedestrian linkway connects Entrance A with the Tropicana Gardens, a 6.9ha mixed development property. There are feeder bus stops, taxi lay-bys and drop-off areas at both entrances along Persiaran Surian.
