Sloppy Chic

My first time going French. Thank you BigBoysOven for extending the invitation to me, it was indeed my honor, and also Shirley, who took the time to organize and making sure everything was right.

Le Bouchon, a neat little place along Changkat Bukit Bintang. It is actually a few shops before Baan26.

Upon entering the door, you can see the wine rack, look at the collection!

And some bottles are placed on the table as part of the deco.

Carre d’agneau à la croute de fromage de chèvre, courgettes à la fleur de thym, Pommes dauphines épicées, sauce au Cabernet sauvignon

Before food was served, chef has prepared few dishes for photography purpose.

Don’t you just have to love the way the dishes are served?

FINE DINING = quality counts.

After some waiting, finally, the long awaited dinner is served!

Introducing the new menu:

APPETIZERS
Terrine de Foie Gras maison
Homemade Goose liver terrine served with fig jam and grilled sour dough bread
RM50++

My first time having foie  gras which i had been dreaming about!

Comes with sour dough bread.

And the way to eat it! It tastes something like extra rich and smooth peanut butter without the peanut taste.  It is quite different from what I imagined. It didn’t feel like liver at all! It is best to go with the fig jam to counter the buttery feeling.

Soupe de moules noires au safran et légumes aromatiques
Black mussels and saffron soup with aromatique vegetables
RM20++

The soup was heavenly! It is not as rich as the liver, so it really clears the throat and the stomach to be prepared for the next dish.

After the soup, I decided to walk around to help to digest my food.

Wonder why is the statue looking like the Angels & Demons poster.

There is a fish pond too!

If you have a lot of cash to spare, or desperately want to impress your date, you can book this cozy little room, best for dinner for 2. So romantic! But be prepared with your credit card though.

If a guy brings me to dine there, i would probably faint on the spot.

SEAFOOD
Filet de morue rôti au sirop d’érable et piment, asperges vertes à l’ail, beurre blanc de betterave
Roasted cod fillet with chilli-maple glaze, green asparagus with garlic, beetroot beurre blanc sauce
RM62++

YUM! See the texture of the cod? It is SO fresh! And springy, crunchy, thick and very Q. And the sauce goes really well with the fish. Gosh!

And on top of that, wine is served too! Heavenly. Life seriously couldn’t be better.

MEAT
Pavé de bœuf rôti , sauce Bordelaise, ratatouille et pommes sautées
aux lardons de canard fumé
Roasted beef tenderloin, Bordeaux wine sauce, ratatouille vegetables and sautéed potatoes with smoked duck bacon
RM98++

Yeah you read the price right, it’s RM98++. (FINE DINING).

The texture was the beef was just so so right. It is so tender yet NOT bloody at all! No blood oozing out. It was just done so perfectly. All the food is prepared by the chef himself. YUM! I so feel like having it again.*checks purse*

DESSERT
Crème brulée aux framboises
Crème brulée with raspberries
RM18++

Notice how soft the egg custard is? YUMMY!

And finally, the great man behind the scene – Chef Jerome Carrouee.

And of course he is a French too! And he is humorous!  He said If i were to become a chef – I can call myself SloppyChef.

With the dessert, the dinner ended. It was truly an unforgettable night. And thank you chef for such a wonderful dinner!
