French degustation @ Maison Francaise

Our favourite Aussie-brother, Chee-Ster is in town for X'mas! Now, that calls for super fine dining and some serious partying. Yay for the gung ho sisters! This time around we were torn between La Fite at Shangri-La or the recently opened French restaurant Maison Francaise on Jalan Kia Peng.

So we thought hey why not try someplace we've both never been? We like the fact that Maison Francaise has 4 types of degustation menus starting from RM125 to RM380. Plus, a French Chef who has worked in 3-Michelin star restaurants. He could be a hot chef...brownie points!

The black-and-white restaurant did have an air of exclusivity to it. Though we didn't exactly spot any hot chefs or hot patrons.

Some of us took the RM380 degustation and some opted for the RM250. That way we get more varieties - and they say everyone has different taste palates, so we'll be sharing both our thoughts on the food :) 

 

All 6 of us
Amuse bouche - Chilled asparagus blend 
L: A nice start to the meal. I opted to down it like a shot!
J: Refreshing!
  
Chateau Siran 2006
L: For a new wine-drinker, this one is subtle.
J: Fruity, easy :)
 
Left: Egg with caviar, Right: Lobster raviolis
L: Caviar is always wonderful tasting. Lobster bisque a little too salty.
 





Left: Veal chop with porccini mushroom. Right: Foie gras terrine
J: Foie gras actually tasted like melting duck-butter! Sinful but awesome.








 Left: Seared scallops with parsley coulis, Right: Duck with raspberry
L: Scallops were the freshest I've ever had! Duck could have been better.
J: Scallops were succulent. Texture was flaky and chewy! Duck, was ordinary and tasted a lil' chinese.

Our desserts from the course
L: I couldn't stop eating the Mont Blanc and ice cream. Different textures in one spoon!
J: Cheese platter was good, couldn't remember all their names but my fave's the middle (Goat's) 
L, J and Chee

Enjoying our Mont Blanc with Vanilla Ice Cream

Total bill came up to RM2,100+. Overall, the experience was pretty satisfying. Thank you Chee-ster for the wonderful dinner!
