The cosy, romantic-ish set-up.
They even have bar/lounge upstairs for some chilling.
Pretty and simple menu.
Some of the set-ups that drew our attention.
Everyone, please meet Jaryn and Joe.
Salade de Poult croustillant (Crispy Chicken Salad) - RM12.90
He says: This thing came with a plate that shape almost like a flying saucer! Haha. Im not a big fan of salad but the sauce on top tastes good =)
She says: Love the dressing and the cubes of chicken fillet. I think the portion should be bigger. So small, quite pathetic lo.
Joe says: Not bad. Dressings was OK and the chicken tasted like Chicken McDeluxe, which is not exactly a bad thing.
Jaryn says: I was on "diet" (which lasted one day!); which explains why I ordered this dish as my mains. My dish was the first to arrive and it got a lot of attention from all the hungry faces. They looked like they would steal my salad anytime! I could smell the fried chicken the moment it was served; like KFC. The chicken was crispy and soft. I liked it. I'm a huge fan of fried chicken. Who isnt? The dressing was really good in my opinion. Flavourful without being overpowering. I could do a bigger portion though. Overall; thumbs-up.
Francaises Poulet épicé (Spicy Grill Chicken) - RM22.90
He says: Its the sauce again. A bit spicy and sweet to near perfection. However, it came with the chicken bones. So, if you wanna order this, prepare to eat like how you eat in Nandos or KFC. But it is still a yes yes for me.
She says: Spicy what? The sauce is sweetish. No spicy, nope. I like the dish. Just a like. One thing I really don't like or understand is that why would they serve these kind of chicken-meal with bones as well? It's like I'm all dressed up to eat in a really fine looking restaurant but upon eating this dish, it kinda ruins the whole mood. I think it would be better if it's boneless. They literally gave me the part with wing attached to it. Downs.
Joe says: This one is pretty good to.. Flavor was alright but there's nth spicy about this dish for me. LOL.
Jaryn says: Spicy grilled chicken: More like, normal grilled chicken. Come on, you don't name your dish "spicy" when it isn't spicy at all! Not in Penang anyway. I remember nodding my head in approval when I tasted this dish; but when I try to recall its taste now, I can barely recall. I liked it.; I think? But I don't think this is the dish that I would order the next time I'm there.
Rouge de Poult Chop Vin (Red Wine Chicken Chop) - RM21.90
He says: This thing is good stuff if you're a big fan of chicken chop! Deep fried chicken topped with a very special sauce that has a mild taste of wine. But, I'll go for the other dishes next time =)
She says: Typical chicken chop. Unique somehow because of the sauce that is made from wine. Not too strong though. just at the right taste. And again, they serve chicken with their bones. No good.
Joe says: Can't really remember how it taste like anymore. But I think this dish is slightly better than the average chicken chop you can get elsewhere.
Jaryn says: Mom's chicken chop was gooooooooooooood. Would order that the next time I go there!
Thon Caponata (Tuna with Caponata) - RM24.90
He says: Lo.0k at that! Served nicely. Grilled medium rare tuna. Its a bit crunchy outside and smooth inside. Like it. Try this!!
She say: Quite a huge disappointment when I ate it. I took half a bite and gave him the other half. Didn't like it.
Joe says: Slightly dry. Not much flavor. First time having grilled tuna so don't really know how it should taste like. The dressing that accompanies the fish tasted weird for me (sweet and sourish at the same time hmmm). Overall, wasn't really a good dish for me.
Jaryn says: I was looking forward to tasting this but i was very disappointed with it!! The texture of the fish was just wrong. The flavour was weird. The sauce was...forgettable. No thumbs-up for this one!
Saveur de Haricot Saumon Poe lé (Flavour Bean Pan Seared Salmon) - RM28.90
He says: It's the sauce again! Love it.. The salmon is really fresh.. One thing, you gotta be careful when you're eating this as there is a lot of bones..
She says: Everything about the fish is all good. Only one thing that kinda ruins (for me) the whole dish. It's tooo bone-y! Every bite I take I had to carefully search the fillet through with my tongue. And one actually got stuck between my braces. So for that, a BIG NO for this one. How can anyone serve salmon with bones eh? Ughh. Makes me angry. Kidding kidding! :)
Joe says: Was OK. Nothing fancy here.
Jaryn says: I LIKE THIS ONE! A lot of fish bones inside though! not very pleasant to eat when one has to constantly chew for the bones ey? But I liked this a lot more than the tuna dish.
Dorade Grillée Vin (Wine Grilled Sea Bream) - RM28.90
He says: One of the best dish of the evening for me =) This is my first time eating sea bream and I found that this sea creature tastes like unagi! hahaha. And, yes, I love unagi!
She says: Probably my top favorite of all. It's so similar to eating unagi. So similar. The fish is so lemak-ish and the sauce was just fork-licking-good. Love this to bits! And no bones! Yiippee.
Joe says: Creamy texture. Very nice. I like anything that taste like unagi! :)
Jaryn says: I like it!!!! And dad finished the entire plate!! He must've loved it tooo.
Signature Marble Cheesecake.
He says: Its not bad.. Just nice as it is not too sweet.
She says: Like any normal cake. I like this one better because it's not that sweet *health conscious*
Joe says: I liked the cheesecake! Quite dense and the flavor was just about right for me. Thumbs up :)
Jaryn says: a very typical cheesecake. Which is both good and bad. Typical means it's edible, it tastes like cheesecake. I liked it and enjoyed it; but I won't go around telling my friends, "WOWWWW YOU'VE GOT TO TRY THEIR CHEESECAKE!". Overall it's...well..just another cheesecake.

Not recommend !!! Small portion food & pricey. Pay extra RM 30 for full course. Spaghetti too spicy, king prawn wt chicken very small portion, crispy sea bass very small portion, signature duck breast too salty (request to exchange to lamb) & very plain marble cake cost RM 12.90 that can finish in 2, 3 bites.
ReplyDeleteThey must have had reduced the portion as it was quite big when we went there beginning of the year. We gotta agree that their food is not that great. Thanks for your feedback :)
