The next time you have a reason to celebrate and are not sure how to celebrate it – well, let’s keep it simple, shall we? How about just some scrumptious fried chicken and champagne? It’s really not as incongruous as you may think! Look, almost everyone loves fried chicken, right? That’s such a universal love, no? It’s comfort food and when done well, it’s da bomb!
A bucket of amazing love!
The folks at Monte’s in Bangsar Shopping Centre has got it just right. Using only the juiciest parts of the chicken – thighs and drumsticks only, their fried chicken here is served nicely propped up in a bucket. Coated in a light batter brimming with secret spices, the crispy golden skin is irresistible, trust me. Beneath that, juicy tender meat, just the way how good fried chicken should be!
Of course we had the Cheesy Wedges too!
And to accompany this delightful fried chicken meal – none other than some sparkling Moët champagne! I can’t even begin to tell you how good that chilled champagne tasted. It’s a perfect combo, fried chicken and champagne, I tell you.
Oh you can also choose to have either some salad or cheesy wedges to go with the chicken and champagne set. There are 2 sets for you to choose from, depending on the size and appetite of your party:
VIP Chicks Package @ RM568+
1 bottle Moët et Chandon
1 bucket Monte’s Fried Chicken (12pcs)
Salad or Cheesy Wedges
or
VVIP Party Package @ RM888+
2 bottles Moët et Chandon
1 supersize bucket Monte’s Fried Chicken (18pcs)
Salad or Cheesy Wedges
You can also order just the fried chicken on its own, without opting for the champagne – I mean, if it’s a small celebration, hehe! 3 pieces Fried Chicken go for RM18.
Monte’s at BSC has been around for more than 10 years and is very popular in the neighbourhood. For such a long-serving establishment, there are quite a number of signature dishes that have been on the menu since day 1.
Fresh Oxtail Soup
The thick and savoury Fresh Oxtail Soup (RM23) is one of their top dishes and I can understand why. The soup is amazing, served piping hot and with well-balanced robust flavours. Eaten with some crusty bread, it makes an immensely satisfying meal on its own.
Escargots baked in garlic & chablis sauce
Then there’s Monte’s signature escargots baked in creamy chablis and garlic sauce to tantalise your taste buds. At RM28 for half dozen, this traditional French starter is sure to please.
Recently the culinary team at Monte’s has come up with some new dishes to add more variety to the dining experience here. Just take a look at these…
Corned Beef Scotch Egg
Corned Beef Scotch Egg (RM28+) with salad and gravy
Slow braised Beef Tendons with fettuccini and melted cheese! (RM38+)
Cheesebomb Fish Burger in tumeric cream and French fries (RM35)
Waffle Beef Burger with Cheese Wedges (RM38)
As for desserts, do check out their cakes of the day and if you see these two cakes available, grab some! At RM18 a slice, I totally loved the Salted Caramel Cake – my favourite!
Nutella Chocolate Cake
Salted Caramel Cake
It’s always advisable to go with hungry stomachs as portions are hearty and because everything looks good, there’s a tendency to over-order too. Now, here’s to the next celebration in Monte’s!
