Sage @ The Gardens

Feeling generous on a weekday I invited my sis for lunch in Sage. I always wanted to drop by Sage year by year pass by . Finally I make it here. I been to Cilantro countless time, love their food so much 

Interior of Sage, was cool and elegant.


Here's the photo of my pretty lunch mate, before I show you all the food.

We ordered both discover lunch menu.
 


Bread as starter with basil, Parmesan and olive dip. The dip was very appetizing bread was serve hot from the oven.

Free welcome  drink, Soda mint mojito. Nice..

        Carpaccio of Hamachi 

This the starter, carpaccio of hamachi with scallop tartare and avruga caviar. This dish was made to superb. The fish was fresh enhanced by the scallop tartare and caviar.

           Duck Confit

Duck confit as starter, this dish can be made to a main on its on. The sick confit was dressed with sesame dressing. Pretty interesting compare to classic duck confit. The skin of the duck was done perfectly crispy. But I find the meat slightly dry to my liking.

    Steamed Halibut

Now comes the main dish, steamed halibut wrapped with yuba and mushroom. Overall taste was ok. I find the piece of foe grais slightly bitter. The yuba( bean curd) was quite sweet. 

            Medallion of beef

Medallion of beef is actually fillet mignon or commonly known as tenderloin. We love this dish more than the fish. The Spanish anchovy butter and the red wine really enhance the beef steaks.

       Cheese in a platter

     Praline parfait

Both dessert were good. The cheese, Robuchon and blue cheese were superb.i like the robuchon cheese more,taste pretty heavy. 
Parfait was nice too

Overall we enjoy the meal and environment alot. And the is only Rm100 nett per set meal, good bargain.

La Creperie de Caroline@ Bangsar Telawi 3



This morning my bunch off BFF and I went to Bangsar for lunch. We went to a few restaurants, either the place was too full or too cramp for 8 of us plus two babies. Bump  into La Creperia Caroline accidentally while searching for place , the restaurant was pretty empty perfect for all of us. Greated warmly by a French Couple, gotten to know the restaunrant was only 10days old. 






A nice and quiet place. The deco is simple and warm.

Breton Crepes (Sweet) and galletes( Savory) are best known specialities from the West region of France. Brittany, a region in northwest of France where is where the tools and techniques wee created and perfected, elevating the crepe to an art form.( Quoted from the menu)

The dishes were all in French, even with description we still totally got not idea what is it. Just be aware that they only serve crepes nothing more than that, savory or sweet.




The hot chocolate amuse me. First time being serve a hot chocolate in this way. The cup came with chocolate paste.


Tadaa.. After adding milk and a good stir. Here's a cup of nicely form hot chocolate. Taste wise I find it quite good.


La Breitz Burger ( RM 32.00)

Here's the dishes we order. Basically we order all the dishes recommend by the boss.
First to be served was the so call beef burger, La Breitz Burger. We did get a shock when we saw it we were expecting a burger formation as per title. Pretty amazing I should say, consisted of mince beef, egg, tomato and some stew veggie plus cheese. We find it pretty good. 

La Pont- Aven (RM 32.00)

Next come the La Pont- Aven, consists of shrimps, scallop and fondue leek. Taste wise not bad.

La Complete (RM 25.00)

Here's the one we like the most we reorder this for second round, La Complete. Made of egg, turkey ham and cheese. Taste good and it's pretty special.

La Stanislas( RM 27.00)

La Stanislas is the name. Crepes wrap with goat cheese and Ratatouille. My friends don't like it at all. They find the goat cheese smells was overwhelming. For me I am ok with the cheese. But I don't like the Ratatouille, it tasted bland. 

La Forestiere ( RM 28.00)

Last but no least here's  La Forestiere, basically comes with chicken chunks, mushroom and egg. Tasted ok. Not really memorable.

               Creme D' Oranges ( RM 39.00)

After all the savory crepes, we need desserts to balance back the meal. Look at it is all flamed up with Grand Marnier liquor. We like it, pretty awesome taste, the liquor enhance the fruitiness of the orange. 

Chocolat Maison Et Bananas ( RM 29.00)

All my friends commented the chocolate paste look lik sh*t  shape. Chocolat Maison Et bananas, just crepes too with chocolate , grilled bananas sprinkle with icing. To me it taste like chocolate roti pisang. 


Here's the pretty little angel Xixi to end the blog. We find the crepes pretty special, but best order a few for sharing. After eating so many types we find it quite jelat. Taste almost the same, just the topping were different. Just stay with La complete, the beef burger and the desserts.

Revisit Ocean PoInt @ kota kemuning

Revisited  Ocean point for an early dinner with sis today. We order back our all time favorite Fish head noodle . Added two dishes cause she's super hungry. 

This the steam fish ball. Big and bouncy. Made of sai toh Yu( some kind of fish famous for making fish ball) mixed with pork. The fish ball here is very good ,kinda expensive at RM 2.50/ball. But for the quality is worth it.


Fried salted egg yolk squid ( Hamdan sotong) RM 24. Can see from the photo that is slightly different from the crispy version you found outside. It's tasty, the egg yolk taste was really strong. My sister like it.. I am ok with it, I prefer it to be more crispy .
