Cafe Cafe is a very pretty place with lotsa chandelier and pretty crystal hanging off the walls, they also have a lot of trinkets dotted through the restaurants. But one problem though, it's notoriously difficult to photograph because of the super dim lighting. Nevertheless it has remained one of my favourite restaurants in KL because of the charm and consistently good food. So I generally treat myself a visit once a year. They offered pretty reasonable priced set menu for the quality of food th
Also, everytime I visit, there are 2 items that I always order. First is their pan seared foie gras
Foie gras is incredibly easy to mess up (judging by the standards of most restaurants here) and badly cooked ones are barely edible. But at Cafe Cafe, it's always perfection. They changes the condiment occasionally the this was peachy. Well caramelised outside, meltingly tender inside with a rich buttery taste. Well, there's nothing further to add. Except to apologise for the bad photo (dim lighting!)
This was my first time trying the clam cooked with white wine and it was lovely. The clams weren't overcooked. The sauce was beautifully oceany with a distinct wine aroma. I slurped this up with no hesitation.
The braised beef cheek is another must order dish here. Here the tender pieces of beef sit atop a neatly plated mash, surrounded with assorted mushrooms. It's incredibly luscious. Beef: tender, aromatic from red wine with a hint of herbaceous note. The mash was perfectly creamy and smooth. I love the mini shimeji (I think) mushrooms as they have a little crunch in them. Just a super delicious dish.
I'm generally not a big fan of chocolate lava cake but I have heard so much about their version. It was just textbook perfect. Rich dark chocolate with a molten centre. Heavenly.
