Dining Out @ Bistro À Table, Department 17, Petaling Jaya

We accept been haunting this footling bistro tucked away inwards Petaling Jaya ever since it opened final week. Run yesteryear individual chef Isadora Chai, nutrient hither is wholesome together with cooked amongst a lot of heart. Occupying Patrick Teoh's old Music Machine's premises, the house has been done upwardly inwards a unproblematic yet effective means - suspended lightbulbs on closer hold off resemble flowers from below amongst their draping wires, hanging drinking glass vases, French themed prints, dark mosaic tiles together with a quirky door frame amongst their name. Don't likewise forget the Francophile subject equally the within doors together with the forepart pace larn a slick of the red, blueish together with white colours from the French flag.
          Back to food. It's unproblematic amongst a 1 page carte du jour for appetisers, mains together with desserts that does modify accordingly to what's fresh inwards the market. While it does non rapidly modify daily, if you lot dine hither regularly plenty you lot may detect around favourites making means for other dishes that Isadora wants to innovate to you. In a way, it's a skillful affair equally she's got quite a broad repertoire of yummy dishes. Do run out room for desserts equally they're all divine. Being a skillful girl, I won't dive into desserts yet but outset inwards a proper means amongst appetisers.   
         Zoom inwards on the one-of-the-kind Caesar Salad Soup (RM18), Isadora's quirky creation. It's essentially a deconstructed dish - cos salad soup, soft egg hidden behind a wall of sliced toast, duck prosciutto slices, parmesan crisp amongst a dollop of cream. Simply divine together with makes you lot experience happier to accept eaten your greens amongst a spoon! We likewise loved the creamy duck liver parfait (RM19) that nosotros hoovered chop-chop through amongst our soft together with crusty topped baguettes. Equally skillful is the coddled egg amongst maple syrup served amongst an asparagus pike together with crouton dust (RM16). For heartier appetites, there's likewise the seafood (mantis prawn together with lobster) bisque topped amongst a gruyere souffle (RM35). 
         We deed on the mains (and 1 pace closer to desserts). Splashie Boy loved the gnocchi amongst burnt butter, tomatoes together with zucchini (RM28). The gnocchi has a pillow soft texture that paired good amongst the fragrant brownish butter, spell the vegetables helped cutting through the richness. A specialty hither is the traditional duck cassoulet (RM48) - irksome cooked duck for 8 hours amongst beans. It's a rattling hearty dish that you lot volition run on spooning downwards your throat. It tin forcefulness out live on a teeny weeny fighting salty though but I consider it'll live on perfect amongst a drinking glass of white wine. For decadent palates, larn for the slipper lobster together with body of body of water urchin tagliatelle (RM119) - a super rich concoction laced amongst a decadent lobster oil. The 2d fourth dimension nosotros dined here, the steak had been changed to a herbed crust lamb rack (RM96) that was cooked perfectly amongst a reddish vino sauce on the side together with creamy mash potatoes. We had likewise ordered side dishes: truffled mash (RM12) together with steamed French beans amongst hazelnuts inwards vinaigrette (RM10).
        Finally nosotros accomplish desserts, e'er a high betoken for me. We honey the warm chocolate fondant amongst its oozing chocolate middle that melds amongst the vanilla creme anglaise (RM18) that hugs it. My other favourite was the dragonfruit kokosnoot pavlova topped amongst candied ginger (RM14). The combination of the lightly kokosnoot scented cream amongst the ginger is perfect amongst the squelch from the meringue. For a rattling rich halt to your meal, you lot accept 2 choices of tiramisu - an alcohol drenched 1 (RM29) or the deconstructed version (RM18) that is extremely chocolate-ly. Oh together with don't forget 1 of my personal favourites, the kaffir lime together with lemon tart (RM15), 1 of the best citrus themed tarts inwards town amongst a slightly soft centre. 
        The house is however rattling very novel together with feeling their means around. There's likewise plans to innovate a degustation menu.
