Celebrate the end of 2016 like a true dandy man this year with Connor’s Stout Porter as it collaborates with 8 unique restaurants to create a beer infused menu for the festive season.
A recipe, inspired by the original British Stout Porter from the 1700s, Connor’s Stout Porter has always been one of our go-to beers and this month, we can do a lot more than just drink.
Thanks to the creative minds of 8 restaurants including Hubba Hubba, Black Market Tiki Taka and more, the brilliant dry stout beer has now been infused into a range of delicacies to delight our palates for the festivities.
And here are the 8 brilliant restaurants you can go to try this amazing collaboration:
The BBP at Bukit Utama
At The BBP, you can find three unique Connor’s infused dishes – Connor’s Pork Ribs, Connor’s Beer Can Chicken and Connor’s Mousse. Inspired by the UK, the originating country of Connor’s, The BBP emulates the Christmas spirit through its two signature savoury dishes by adding generous amounts of Connor’s Stout Porter into its marinade.
Both glazed and cooked over a wood chip fire oven, the two dishes are simply divine on the palate and to finish it off, The BBP offers a beer-infused mousse that is light and fluffy to bring us a warm and loving end to the night.

Hubba Hubba at Ceylon Changkat
Created to pique the interest of foodies in the city, Hubba Hubba created two dishes for this Connor’s experience – 180 Brew Connor’s Chicken and Hubba Connor’s Lamb Pie.

The X at Telawi, Bangsar
Loved by the locals for its wide variety of cocktails and other alcoholic beverages (Connor’s included, of course), The X brings the Connor’s-infused chicken spaghetti and Connors chocolate cake to the table for this festive collaboration.
Simple, classic and hearty, the two dishes are definitely a must when dining at The X for the month of December because who can say ‘no’ for a tasty plate of pasta with beer flavours?
Tiki Taka at Medan Damansara
Like any good festive dinner, a stew is a must and Tiki Taka adds a Eurasian flair to create the Connor’s Chicken Semur for this dining collaboration.
Combining the best of East and West with a touch of dry stout beer, the dish is a spicy and peppery stew served with succulent chicken breast and a side of deep fried mantou buns. The best part is the Siracha sauce used to marry the beer nuances to the classic Eurasian delight – truly a work of art for the dining table.
