Perched high up on the 51st floor, Sabayon, EQ Kuala Lumpur's award-winning modern fine dining venue is introducing its new seasonal menus. The distinctive new menus draw from an inspiration of culinary tradition, stemming from the classic methods of the famed Auguste Escoffier’s classique cusine, to more modernist takes on texture, flavour and presentation. The impressive menu lists several course meals, starting from RM488. The Classic is Sabayon’s latest 4-course menu at … [Read more...]
BRASSERIE LÉON, TTDI: Simple Classic French Fares
Located on the 1st floor of Greens Terrace in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Brasserie Léon is a welcoming eatery for a simple French meal. There’s an easy contemporary feel in the chic shades of blue and grey echoing throughout the restaurant. In the day time, lots of natural light streams into the premise through the huge expanse of glass occupying most of the walls. But we were there for dinner and the whole place took on a cosy romantic ambience, thanks to the enchanting fairy lights and muted rays … [Read more...]
Affordable French Dining at CHEZ GASTON, Bangsar Utama
I first met Florian Nigen when he was operating Rendez-Vous French Restaurant in Bangsar more than 2 years ago. When his business partner decided to return to France, Florian decided to start something smaller and more manageable on his own. Scouting around Bangsar, he spotted a corner lot in a quieter part of Bangsar which he deemed would be perfect for his new venture. Hence “Chez Gaston” took shape along Jalan Bangsar Utama 9, a road housing several smaller eateries, a convenience store and … [Read more...]

RENDEZ-VOUS @ Bangsar for decent affordable French food

Now, putting our misery aside, it’s a good thing that there still establishments like Rendez-Vous in Bangsar (no less) that serves affordable French food. Yes, decently affordable. This French restaurant occupies a corner shoplot in Bangsar Park - … [Read more...]
2OX – New French Kid on The Row, Kuala Lumpur
It’s “two OX’, not “20 x” or “20 multiply”. This latest French bistro bar along Jalan Doraisamy (known as “The Row”) has got many people perplexed over its name, for sure. The mystifying “2OX” (and yes, the OX must be in caps) refers to Sainy Chun and Thierry Le Baut, the owner and chef respectively. If the names sound familiar to you, it’s because you probably have heard of them at Maison Francaise where they run the show, too. While Maison Francaise is all about fine-dining, … [Read more...]
