To be healthy, we ordered the Arugula Salad with Duck Confit (26MYR) was delicious even though the portion was a tad too small. It's actually duck meat fried to crisp on to of a bed of roasted pear and arugula. There's a perfect balance of sweet and savoury, making this a lovely, well balanced dish!
For starters, we ordered the Chinese Man Tou (20MYR) which was out of the world! These were so damn good that we ordered 2 plates (6 pieces)! Its just simply crisp duck and scallions stuffed into a man tou but heck, it was good! The duck gave a savoury taste to the slightly sweet man tou buns. Would definitely go back for these yummy ducky!
As a main course, we ordered the Roasted Tarragon Chicken (38MYR) which was a bit of a disappointment for us even though the portion was generous, the taste was mediocre it does no justice to the hefty 38MYR pricetag!!!!
I think Alexis is just over rated and I succumbed to peer pressure to try this place out. The price of the food is expensive and the food is overall mediocre. It's like, Tamarind Springs.
But, of course, the food here is waaay better than Tamarind Springs! My judgement of mediocre food means that the food is edible and no complains but not worth the price of the food.
For example, the Tarragon Chicken costs about 38MYR, which is a total rip off because Rosemary Bites (Aman Suria) serves up better herbed chicken. Oh, and I didn't taste any tarragon at all, the chicken tastes like any edible roast chicken like Kenny Rogers.
Sorry to say but I'm being honest. The best of the dishes that we tried was the simple Chinese Man Tou and Tiramisu.
