Two Decades of Freshness at Menara OCBC

The grand reopening at Menara OCBC served as a "thank you" to the community that has supported O’Briens for 20 years. To lead the brand into its next chapter, O’Briens officially appointed two new ambassadors: Winnie K: The celebrated singer bringing creativity and soul and Soh Wai Ching: World #1 Male Tower Runner, embodying high-performance nutrition and a balanced lifestyle.

The Star of the Show: NisaBakri Halal Shepherd’s Pie

The highlight of the partnership is the exclusive reveal of the NisaBakri Halal Shepherd’s Pie. This isn't your average meat-and-potato dish; it’s a culinary bridge between East and West.

Crafted by renowned bespoke chef and influencer Puan Sri Nisa Bakri, the pie features the "Macam Mak Masak" (just like mom’s cooking) touch that her brand is beloved for. What sets it apart? Kabsa spices.

"This partnership allows us to introduce our take on the Shepherd Pie—comforting, elevated, and infused with Asian-Western flavors. With Ramadan just around the corner, it’s also a wonderful option for Moreh or Sahur." by Puan Sri Nisa Bakri, Founder of Nisabakri Gourmet.

By infusing fragrant Middle Eastern Kabsa spices into the traditional Irish recipe of tender meat and golden mashed potatoes, Chef Nisa Bakri has created a uniquely Malaysian comfort food experience.

Wholesome Dining for the Season Ahead

With the fasting month approaching, this collaboration couldn't have come at a better time. The Kabsa Shepherd’s Pie is designed as a wholesome dining solution for the Iftar and Sahur season, offering a nutrient-dense, filling meal that doesn't compromise on gourmet flavor.

Where to Find It

You don't have to travel far to get a taste. This premium collaboration is now available at 27 O’Briens outlets nationwide. Whether you’re a long-time fan of O’Briens’ handcrafted sandwiches or a devotee of NisaBakri’s artisanal flavors, this partnership offers a premium, welcoming café experience for everyone.
