One of my good friends recently return to Malaysia from London and ran a few sessions of her supperclub here. She had run some supperclub sessions in London and it had garnered raving reviews. So, I was really excited to join in the fun.

So, what is supper club? If you Google it, you will see that it refers to underground restaurants.

In order to enjoy this gastronomical experience, you will enter into someone’s home / non-commercial site. It is usually catered for a small group (just like how you would eat at a friend’s place). Hence, usually the chef / host will dictate the date and time and open the slot for booking. Normally, the menu is already per-determine by the chef at the fixed price. The normal way to spread this information is usually through word of mouth of social sites (e.g. facebook).

You will need to keep an open mind about the other guests which you will meet. If you are the type which cannot abide with the thought of table sharing, then, stay away from supper club! Lol…Unless the host kindly offer to set up another table just for you and your guests.

Apart from the amazing array of yummy interesting food you will dine on, I think the best part of attending a supper club is to get to know people whom you usually wouldn’t have cross path with. It’s typically a social networking session for everyone.

For those who are shy, it’s very comfortable too. It is not as intimidating compare to a party, standing around trying to mingle and to join in scattered of groups. Since it’s a lunch/ dinner, this means that your primary reason for attending supperclub is still to eat. You can quietly munch on your food and enjoy the colorful conversation floating all around you. Once you gather enough courage / an interesting topic which you can relate to pops up, you can just join in. So, it is very relax and fun…

For that night, Lyn served us

1a1bDish 1: Camembert cheese with a cream and feta cheese puree, pomegranates and home made onion relish. Side : Cheese Scones.

2Dish 2: Pork Belly Nyonya Curry served on baked wanton skins. (If the pork was serve on a bed of rice, I will happily polish of the whole pot)

3Dish 3: British-German Sausage Rolls served in Puff Pastry. (I love this!!! it was super delicious)

4Palette Cleanser: Starfruit, Mint and Lime Sorbet (very nice and light. Exactly what a palette cleanser is suppose to be. I really like the faint hint of starfruit in this)

5a5b

5cDish 4: Honey and Maple Syrup Roasted Spare Ribs. Sides : Potatoes Dauphinoise and Roasted Vegetables in a Mustard Marinade

6Dessert: Peanut Butter Cheese Cake, Nangka (Jack-fruit) Ice cream on home made short bread and caramelized apples on puff pastry and Chantilly Cream. (desserts !!! yummm…. but, i was sooo full by then, I opt to tapau my desert. hahaha.. yes, you can tapau if you want)

Good food, interesting conversation and getting to know new people – What a night! We were so well-feed that hub and I skip breakfast the next day. lol. So, if you are tired of deciding where to eat, why not give supperclub a try? It’s definitely more interesting and it’s home-made food using high quality ingredients ! And if you like that particular dish, feel free to ask the chef for a second helping. All these at about RM80/person. Please Feel free to tip the chef / host 😉

**If you are allergic to certain food / don’t take certain food due to personal reasons, remember to let the chef know in advance. (Unlike a restaurant, you can’t expect to order something else from the menu)

I walked pass this little restaurant many times in the past, but was never tempted to check it out. The bright red deco and outside frame of the restaurant felt a little too pub-like to me. Hence, I pre-judge this little guy and refuse to even look at their menu.

I’m so glad hub and I decided to give this restaurant a try this round. More like an interesting encounter which made us stop right in front of this restaurant, giving me the reason to scan thru their menu. I was instantly hooked. They serve quite a number of interesting traditional French / almost home cook type dishes.

The restaurant was pretty pack even at 6.45pm (which was relatively early for French to start dining). This is surely a good sign. The waitress speaks almost no English but luckily she is happy to help as much as she could and bear with my lousy French. LOL.

Hubby ordered escargot for starter to share. It was so delicious and I was so glad that it was a huge plate pack with escargots (I think there’s easily 2 dozens of escargots on that plate!). The sauce was absolutely fantastic and compliments the escargots really well.Escargot

For mains, hubby ordered duck. He loves the French way of cooking duck. This is the traditional Magret de Canard with apricot sauce. Simple common dish but done really well. The duck meat was pan-fried well, leaving it juicy and tender. It was a very generous portion plate fill with assortment of sides.

Canard à l'Orange As for me, I am in love with my Sole meunière. Such a simple dish of pan frying the sole with butter, and yet, the taste was anything but simple. The texture of the fish combine with the butter almost has a melt-like quality once in your mouth.

Sole meunièreEach bite is almost as amazing as the first, making me want to savor each bite slowly and making the meal last forever. Now, I truly understand why French takes 3-4 hours for dinner. When you have food this good, who would want their dinner to end?!

I would have loved to try their dessert. But, we were super full by then. I can’t wait to come back again to try their other dishes.

durian

Duri-an (Thorn fruit in Malaysian local language). Hailed as the king of fruit by most southeast Asia countries. It has an amazing lovely perfume (which non-local finds unbearable) and is covered with thorn shell. This fruit evoke extreme impression. It’s either you love it or your hate it.

DurianThis year, there is an over supplies of durian in the market. Everywhere you turn, you can see durian stall being setup. In some stall, you see literally see durian moutain stack higher than the stall itself !

There’s many variety of durian in the market. The most famous one in Malaysia is the Mousang King (Mountain Cat King). During non-season, these variety are sold for between RM30-35/kg. There was a time when it was sold for almost RM50/kg !!!

Yesterday, we had some and it was at RM 16/kg. One of my friend told us that they had it for RM8/kg (in the farm).

So CHEAP !!! must EAT more !!!… muahahaha.
