Café Café, KL

I’ve been meaning to blog about this place for ages but never got round to doing it till now. Café Café is an Italian + French restaurant in KL, a place I’ve heard of for many years through word of mouth, blogs and forums alike. Apparently it’s the only “Parisian” restaurant (or close to for the lack of a better word) ever existed in Malaysia… few months ago I finally had a chance to experience it myself. 

Reviews suggested the restaurant wasn’t easy to find; it's true. hint: Once you reach Edinburgh roundabout, look left the shop is right in front you.

  

Restaurant was tastefully decorated with dimly lit chandeliers, “Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain” was playing in the background, overall ambience was quite romantic. However, I couldn’t feel I was anywhere near Paris at all. Did I set expectation a tad too high? I find it really weird when some diners started walking in with their shorts and slippers while me and dining buddy all dolled up for the New Year Eve celebration. 

        

But food wise I couldn’t complain though…

Escargot in garlic and parsley

Honey King Prawn in truffle sauce

 

Duck Confit

Can’t remember if it was a T-Bone or Ribeye already…

   

Just the way how I like it done
