The afternoon was hotter than usual. You'd expect to quickly reach where you wanna go, and get down to some one2two action before the hour passes. But we were in Solaris Dutamas, and looking for Unit A4-01-5 can be rather tricky.
After two wrong turns, we eventually found Nathalie's Gourmet Studio. And we were happy that the place was pleasantly cosy, though the seats were a bit hard.
Then the starters arrived. The Parmesan Cheese Tart tastes as good as it looked, and fired up my expectation even higher...
One by one the dishes arrived, and each one tasted better than the other. The blend of flavours and textures was just amazing.
If there were doubts about Chef Nathalie Arbefeuille's menu before, all were quashed after the first bite.
Then came the Lamb Tajin. Each bite into the mutton, slow-cooked till tender, was like a prologue to a Moroccan folklore. And the natural flavours of the baby soy beans serve as a balance to the exotic combination of kuskus and braised artichoke.
There were whispers that Chef Nathalie Arbefeuille cooked for events at the French Embassy. And her classy studio next door confirms her cooking classes. Plus she has her own recipe book, published. So I really don't have to tell you much more about my impeccable experience eating here, and how impressive the desserts were...
Well, fancy some sweet Macaroons to go? Drop by Nathalie's Gourmet Studio, at Solaris Dutamas, Unit A4-01-5, Jalan Dutamas 1, KL. Or call 03-6207 9572 / 017-2806717 for reservations.
