Last year’s Christmas, I stayed in KL and celebrated the ocassion with a good friend back from London. In Malaysia, for those who celebrate Christmas non-religously it usually means eating out. Anyway, we made a last min change and decided to go to Le Bouchon for dinner. Thinking it was perhaps a better choice over roast turkey with raisin rice at an Indochine Thai restaurant… NOT. It was a disappointment. I wonder if their french chef has gone back to France for Christmas or something cos the food really wasn’t the same as the last time I went.
Surprisingly quiet with lots of empty tables on a Christmas night. Unusual sight
we opted for the gourmet set menu (RM148++). first course is scallop. it wasn’t too bad but nothing fancy to shout about.
Grilled seabass with caviar sauce... looks better than it tastes
mountain honey roasted duck confit... again looks better than it tastes
Despite those mediocre courses of food, it was great catching up with grumpy Ian after precisely a year. But as far as food is concerned, this will probably be my last visit to this restaurant unless they make an improvement.
