LA FIGUE

Hidden Gem In Setapak

Offers A Combo Of Local & European Dishes

 LA FIGUE Cafe & Bakery Restaurant at PV128 Setapak 

It's been a while since I last visited Setapak, the place I called home for 2.5 decades. Growing up here with my family during my younger days, my little hometown brought back many nostalgic memories back to me when I came by to La Figue @PV128 Setapak for a brunch treats with my makan kakies recently. 

Thanks to the wonderful invitation from my foodie friend, Koo Pooi Yee, I was here to check out their mouth-watering simple old favourites and signatures dishes with my hubby, Uncle Hong.

Contemporary With Simple Black & White Colonial Style Set Up

 Enjoy Fresh OutDoor Dining Al-Fresco Style  

La Figue offers both spacious indoor and outdoor dining option for its diners. You can choose to dine indoor with the comfort of air conditioning or take comfort al fresco on their outdoor patio.

A mix of Western and local flavours is often a winning combination when creating a menu. Diners coming to La Figue Cafe & Bakery in PV128, Setapak can look forward to hearty European and Malaysian staples, especially dishes that were popular in the late 60s and early 70s.

Their menu is crafted with inspiration drew from Malaysia’s colonial heritage where Hainanese chefs whipped out irresistibly delicious local and western cuisine 

Let's move on to the menu now...

 Western Menu

Chicken Piccata 

RM 13.90

The Chicken Piccata is my personal favourite. Just love the accompanying tangy and bitter flavour of capers sauce, something different and unique that piquancy to the simple dish. If you are still wondering what are capers, well, basically they are a kind of edible flower buds, often used as a seasoning in western cooking. Good choice for those into healthy dining as this is the only dish where you are served with pan-fried chicken breast.

MALLIKAS Restaurant ~ A Taste Of India ~ Taman Esplanad Bukit Jalil

MALLIKAS RESTAURANT

SERVING UP THE BEST OF INDIA

 

November is a month to celebrate the Festival of Lights, Deepavali. Taking this opportunity to look out in search of an authentic Indian restaurant to get my craving satisfied on this time of the month, my 'Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan' gastronomic journey has brought me a newbie in town.

Serving Up The Best Of India Cuisine

Tucked away in Aked Esplanad, Bukit Jalil is a hidden gastronomic gem called Mallikas Restaurant. Unassuming and quiet, the restaurant been operating a year ago serves authentic fare of Northern and Southern Indian delights to appease the taste buds of Indian food lovers. I heard that they are popular among the office crowd and residents staying around the vicinity at Bukit Jalil.  

Beautiful Hand Painted Art Adorns The Wall

Determined to serve the best cuisine from both worlds - North and South Indian dishes, Mallikas Restaurant has a chef each from Tamilnadu, South India and Uttar Pradesh, North India itself. Owned by Madam Grace Mallika Judson or Mallika as she is affectionately known, Mallikas Restaurant has an impressive menu to choose from and the dishes do not fail to impress.

Amazing Mural Decorated The Wall 

With a well-defined menu which is divided according to food groups and different types of meats, there's a useful guide indicating vegetarian and non-vegetarian food groups, handy when considering the diet and religion of diners who frequent the place.

Madam Mallika said that food was her passion and it was her lifelong dream to own a restaurant. She said that Mallikas Restaurant was a realisation of a 20-year-old dream. It was opened more than a year ago with the help of her son in law, Robert Doraisamy. To feature authentic dishes, she brought experienced chefs from India, specialising in curries, tandoor dishes, biryanis and bread, to recreate Indian flavours in Malaysia. 

STARTERS

Crunchy Onion Pakoda

RM 10

We started the meal with starters of crunchy Onion Pakoda, followed by Chicken Vepudu, chicken made with tender cubes of chicken breast meat marinated with fresh ground masala spices.

Chicken Vepudu

RM 16

Chicken Vepudu, a deep-fried wonder was a big hit with everyone at the dinner table. Juicy and well-marinated with masala spices, together with the wafting smell of spices and curry leaves whet our appetites, every bite was simply addictive. You just can't stop at one, neither do I. 

Tawa Fish

RM 17

Another entree was Tawa Fish - Slices of mackerel (Tenggiri) marinated in a paste made from scratch, consists of chilli powder, ginger-garlic paste, spices and lime juice and shallow fired on a Tawa until its soft and cooked.
