Le Bouchon: Revisited
To tell the truth, I had dined at Le Bouchon before and the service wasn't all that great, so I had wanted to give it a miss and go to Little Havana instead. However, we had no jodoh with the Cuban restaurant-- the new management (now known as Havana) was not honouring the 50% off dining privileges of the old management. Blegh. And so, we walked across the road into Le Bouchon to celebrate KT's birthday (one week ahead of schedule, a be-earlied celebration one might say). Just a small party of 5, the birthday girl, her BF, SK, mum and I. This time round, we tried to order something a little different. We were the first customers that night and even walked into the staff having dinner. Nothing much changed after one year, but I must say that the service had improved.
For starters we ordered the Terrine de Foie Gras maison (goose liver terrine and fig jam on sour doug bread) and the grilled scallops in port wine sauce. Both were great. The pairing of the fatty, rich goose liver with the sourish fig jam was good and the scallops were very sweet. SK could have licked the sauce au porto clean. For salad we had Salade Perighourdine. More foie gras with smoked duck breast and confit gizzards. Sedapz! On to the mains-- my favourite dish was the Confit de Canard. Absolutely flavourful duck confit with slice of fried foie gras (one can never get too much of this, :P). The rack of lamb with goat cheese wasn't to my liking. Also ordered a beef rib eye steak with garlic butter sauce. The roasted codfish with beetroot sauce was quite refreshing in comparison with all the red meat. Dessert was the warm melting Valrhona chocolate cake, topped with white chocolate ice cream and Tahiti vanilla sauce. Totally sinful. MYR28! You can get the MYR3.90 version at Heaven Fusion, Seri Petaling. Hehe. Total damage: MYR300 after the discount.
Presents-wise, SK and I bought KT a Radley wallet seeing that her current wallet was VERY run down. After a short jam in BB, we reached home in no time at all... The next day, my throat was tight and dry... must be the Valrhona chocolate! Ugh.
