It was Malaysia Day - 16th September 2015, aside for it being a scary Public Holiday for us Malaysians, it still that didn't stop us from going on with our normal routine. Which for us is to explore more dog friendly places to share with all.
We have been talking about going to Boathouse in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, located along the same row as our usual brunch place after Bella's training - TDH. Their opening hours isn't until late probably for lunch and definitely for dinner.
Parking around the busy street could be quite a challenge. Doesn't help that there are many popular drinking pubs along the whole stretch of the street, not forgetting a few other popular cafes and eating spots.
Bella was happy exploring a new place, didn't even bother about the barking Shih Tzu already at the table. This place is definitely dog friendly, I remember reading that the owner adopted a Shih Tzu and sometimes allows it to roam freely. But we don't think she was there when we went. We were even asked if we wanted to sit upstairs, goes to show how open this place is for dogs - what more a Rottweiler !

| Peak a Boo ! |
Later we were joined by another couple with their white Toy Poodle. Well behaved, except that I don't understand why people allow their dog to sit on the sofa ? So close to the table, where the food and the utensils are. Oh well... as long as the dog is well trained, no issue with us.

| Ample space for any big dog to dine. |

| One for the album. |
Now, let's get down to the food ! We started off with the Cempedak Chicken as starters... It's your typical deep fried cempedak with a nice savory batter but with minced chicken hidden in the middle. So you get the sweetness of the cempedak fruit at first bite but finish it with the sweetness from the minced chicken meat. Okay, I am hungry...

| 550g of Pork Tomahawk ! |
Being Oktoberfest, I ordered their special... with the option to add on half pint of Paulaner draft beer.
The Pork Tomahawk mustard crust with beer juice, all 550g of awesome pork cooked with beer ! Though I have to say the mustard crust is an acquired taste. I didn't really like it, as it was a tad too salty.
Overall it was a great dining experience. Friendly staff, although 1 of them was bit afraid of Bella. We still got friendly smiles and warm service. Bella of course was happy, she got the bone from my pork dish. Crushing the bones to the amazement of the staff there.
