Dine & Wine at The BAR°N, Sunway Pyramid

Welcome to the newest The BAR°N at Sunway Pyramid! It offers a unique ambience while serving up a refreshingly distinct experience for diners with signature offerings which include tapas, flame-grilled delectable and an extensive selection of wine.

And guess what.. they brought an actual camel to the launch LOL The BAR°N Sunway Pyramid was launched by Barny the Camel, a special guest traversing the Pyramids of Egypt before making a stop at the Pyramids of Sunway.
The BAR°N is located on the ground floor of Sunway Pyramid with large glass windows so sunlight fills the room. However, I sat beside the window and it was very hot.

Ms. Candice Lee, one of The BAR°N’s founders, expressed at the launch, “We’re so glad to formalise the growth of The BAR°N with today’s launch of our outlet right here in Sunway Pyramid. Indeed, our success through the years is due in part to the constant support of our guests, who have been our inspiration throughout the years, for which we are truly grateful. Today’s launch is a testament of that. But we are more than just another dining venue. We’re about creating that WOW experience and developing a culture which ultimately creates that unique offering to our guests,”

“It is our hope that The BAR°N will one day be the natural choice for people when seeking out a place to dine with some good food and drinks, be it for business or pleasure, we created The BAR°N specifically to be a place where anyone can simply chill, hang out or call their own.” Candice continued.

The BAR°N's menu is huuuge with a large selection of non-alcoholic beverages, coffee, wine, alcohol, and even food. You could even bring your family here in the daytime as it is family-friendly.

Three bespoke wine cocktails were specially curated by The BAR°N’s resident bartender to be served to the guests at the launch. Inspired by the land of golden sands, these wine cocktails are aptly named The Hump, Cleopatra Dreams, and Sangria from the Pyramids.
Being called a wine bar, The BAR°N offers an extensive list of wines ranging from the classical red and white to sparkling and even dessert wine sourced from all around the world.
There is also a lotttt of food here but I didn't get to taste most of it so I shall share only photos.

Ahh.. what is summer without a refreshing cool drink? Starbucks has unveiled THREE new Frappuccino blended beverages with super delicious flavours to combat this hot summer.

First up is the unique Mixed Berry Frappuccino Blended Beverage with Pomegranate Pearls. Yup.. Except these aren't your usual chewy pearls.

I've always liked the Mocha Frappuccino but this is the upgraded Triple Mocha Frappuccino Blended Beverage! Starbucks has combined white chocolate mocha, dark mocha and mocha drizzle to create this indulgent beverage.

Both this and the Dark Caramel Coffee Frappuccino Blended Beverage feature whipped cream infused with cold brew with dark caramel. The latter has added white chocolate and lots of dark caramel layered in the whipped cream. It is a dream for caramel popcorn lovers.
