 Lunch at W World @ 1, Lorong Drury on 8th June 2024

For those of us who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, the Sun Cinema was a treasure trove of films and sometimes live performances. First Class seats for blockbusters at only RM1.40 will forever be golden memories of the past. Over the years, it has transformed from a techno nightclub named Rock World to a KTV and later a fitness centre. Today, it has been converted into an upscale, fancy restaurant. The main dining hall comes with exclusive chandeliers, giant LED screens and real comfy chairs. There’s also ample parking space at their compound. Drury Lane is off Campbell Street

The Eating Kakis have not met since our “Hokkien Mee Dinner” at Vincent’s place in January! So, when Allan suggested W World, it was a golden opportunity to meet and catch up with one another. Rekindle our fellowship!

The thick menu folder offers many exquisite cuisine. We went for the recommended Deep Fried Goby Fish with extra black sauce and loads of “bak eu pok” (pork lard). Good choice. The fish was fresh and the dish certainly did not disappoint! It’s not cheap though, cashing in at RM330.

For the vegetable dishes, we tried their Stir-fried Asparagus with Squid which was a tad too expensive at RM136 a plate. Well, it’s not local but Australian asparagus! 

The Brinjal with Deep Fried Shrimp was nicely done, rather tasty and reasonably priced. 

We also ordered the Beancurd with Minced Pork. It came in a rather big plate. Next time, we will have to order the “medium size” version.

The dish of the day has to be the Jasmine Iberico Pork Ribs. The entire rack was tender, well marinated and juicy! Tantalizing our taste buds with a price tag of RM168 for 7 pax. Another good choice!


Our verdict? W World is worth a revisit. Perhaps, we could sample their Peking Duck and Suckling Pig on our next visit. An exquisite lunch or dinner focuses on three elements: ambience, presentation and service. W World is right there for the ambience and presentation. However, service could be better improved, befitting an “Atas” restaurant that it is.
