Authentic & Affordable French Cuisine @ Chez Lèoniel, Alliance Francaise

On a lovely Sunday morning, there I was at Chez Lèoniel Restaurant with a few of my friends. We are in for the treat of a scrumptious French breakfast and lunch. Chez Lèoniel is located at Alliance Francaise de Kuala Lumpur, the official French language and culture centre in Kuala Lumpur. Housed in a fully renovated bungalow in a serene and green setting, you'll need to register with the guard house before entering. There is ample parking available and it's free too. 

Anyway, as soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by the fragrant aroma of fresh baked pastries. Ohh my... I can't help to start savouring the piping hot pastries.

Fresh homemade pastries of the day.
Small : RM4 (2 pieces - RM7) Big : RM5 (2 pieces - RM9)
(Cinnamon roll - no discount)

Pain au chocolate. 

Pain au raisin.

Croissant. 

Le chiffre d'affaires d'Apple.

Madeleine.

What a lovely French brekkie with the Malongo Special Grain Americano.
Love the flaky and buttery pastries. Just heavenly......

Chef Leoniel demonstrating the making of crepe. Traditional way of using French crepe hot plate and French recipe.

The crepe is then dressed up with Nutella chocolate. Everyone's favourite!

Nutella Chocolate Crepe RM15 best paired with Malongo Organic Bio Tea Mint RM5.
Crepe was authentic and superb.

Salade Nicoise RM15
Fresh coral salad, Atlantic tuna, green beans, potatoes, eggs, tomatoes and olives serve on bed of lettuce. French style salad.

Soupe de Ratatouille (Ratatouille soup) RM9

Silky rich and thick French stew of zucchini, eggplant & bell peppers served with a slice of baguette.

Tartare d' esturgeon (Sturgeon Tartare) RM25
Fresh farm fed sturgeon sashimi served with pickled and bread, just amazing. Love the beautiful presentation too. Must try!

Confit de Carnard (Duck Confit) RM38
Grilled well browned and crisp duck confit served with roasted potatoes and sautéed vegetables.
The duck meat is rather bland to my preferences and I'm not fond of the tad chewy texture too. Maybe serving it with a sauce would be better?

Pain - Poele d esturgeon RM45
Heavenly perfectly pan-seared sturgeon with green, wild mushroom and garlic. Incredibly tasty and I love the sauce too. Highly recommended!

All in all, Chez Leoniel served authentic and traditional French cuisines that doesn't burn a hole in your pocket. Must try the daily baked fresh pastries, amazing sturgeon dishes and Malongo coffee or tea selection. Reservation is required for dinner.

Meja Kitchen + Bar @ Trec, KL (Pork Free)

Meja, in Malay simply means table. I believe most of our family bonding, work meeting or discussion is concluded on the table. Meja is located within the vicinity of the hippest club in town, Zouk. So the next time before you hit the clubbing scene, satisfy your taste buds here with the selection of best Malaysian and Asian fusion cuisines.

Golden Margarita RM49.00 
My all time favourite cocktail, mix of premium gold tequila, Cointreau with sweet & sour mix. 

Fried Cucur Udang RM18

Highly recommended. Do you know the cucur udang served here is the same recipe served to the royal family. You'll be amazed with the soft texture and generous bits of fresh shrimp.Dip in the sweet chili sauce for some delicious savory treat.

Meja's Chicken Nachos RM30
Highly recommended. Tasty yellow corn tortilla, chicken corn carne, cheddar cheese, pinto beans, guacamole, tomato salsa, sour cream and jalapeno.

Meja's Classic Caesar Salad RM28
Fresh greens tossed with Caeser dressing, beef bacon, parmesan cheese and toasted baguette.

Crunchy Spicy Squid Tentacles RM18
Fried crispy and fragrant, served with homemade chili sauce.Pretty addictive!

Tempura Calamari RM18

Seafood Aglio Olio RM34
Al dente pasta served with prawn, mussels, scallop, squid, dory fish, brocolli and topped with garlic, onions and chilli flakes.

Grilled Salmon Kyoto Style RM48
Salmon is slighty overcooked for my preference and I find it rather interesting to top it with scrambled eggs and 'siew pak choy'.

Grilled Premium Grass Fed Sirloin Steak RM75
Well marbled with tasty fat and it is best to order for 'medium' done.

BBQ Rack of Lamb RM75
Highly recommended! Perfectly done rack of lamb served with corn on the cob, mashed potatoes and daily vegetables.

Just look at the stunning rack of lamb, fork tender, superb, love in every bite. Please ignore the messy plate.

Waffles RM16
Simplicity at its best. Nice and crisp waffles served with maple syrup and butter.

Chocolate Truffle RM18

Not overly sweet, moist and rich in chocolate taste. All the cakes are in-house made and is to die for too. 

F.B.I (Frozen Black Irish) RM44.00
Ended the night with this amazing cocktail mix of Bailey's, Kahlua and vodka with Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream.

Classy, trendy and modern ambiance.

In a nutshell, Meja Kitchen + Bar is worth checking out for a decent meal or even a drink or two. Do check out their affordable lunch deals too.
