Sunday Brunch @Maison Française

Having heard and seen so many reviews of Maison Française, otherwise known as the French House, I was more than delighted when Umei invited me for brunch.


The beautifully refurbished white colored bungalow was rather eye-catching with limited premises lies on the same road, hence finding the location was never a challenge.


We were then guided to the main dining area, of black-and-white interior against parquet flooring; simple with a touch of chic.

As we were going for their Sunday Brunch menu, we saved the hassle of deciding our order which is the toughest part.

Complimentary breads (baguette, white toast and brioche) served along with condiments (blueberry jam, strawberry jam, butter and honey). Though came famished, Jason and I eager to try out the different bread-jam combination. I particularly fond of warm brioche against soft and chilled butter.

For the first round of serving we had Potato and Leek Soup, Mixed Salad with Balsamic Dressing and Scrambled Egg with Smoked Salmon.


Potato and Leek Soup
A heart warming soup of rich texture.

Mixed Salad with Balsamic Dressing
Of lollo rosso, lettuce, diced tomato and pecan nuts; refreshing with a tad of savory.

Scrambled Egg with Smoked Salmon
As a spoonful of this entered my palate I tasted moist scrambled egg of slight grainy texture, along with smoked salmon so smooth that it practically slipped down my throat.

For the second round of serving we were spoilt with Steamed Mussel Mariniere with Onion and White Wine, Chicken Stew with Black Peppercorn Sauce, Green Bean and Roasted Potato, Seared Tilapia Fillet with Tomato Sauce.

Steamed Mussel Mariniere with Onion and White Wine
Soft and tender are two adjectives I never thought applicable to mussels but they have proven me wrong. White wine did a great job in putting mussel freshness to forefront, without the unpleasant fishy taste of course.

Chicken Stew with Black Peppercorn Sauce
Black peppercorn elevated the taste of chicken meat without overpowering, wonderfully topped with generous amount of oyster mushrooms.

Green Bean and Roasted Potato
These two well-executed dishes surprised us on how attentive the chef can be. For the former, beans were removed in the case of matured green beans, paired well with caramelized onion and garlic; For the latter, roasted potato formed skin alike crispy layer with soft inner, sprinkled with herb and coarse salt.


Seared Tilapia Fillet with Tomato Sauce
Searing has locked in the juiciness of meat that went well with appetizing tomato sauce.

Cheese Platter 
Presentation of cheese (Reblochon, Camembert, Rocquefort), fig puree, along with pecan nuts and raisin on a black slate was an art of its own. A platter that calls for real cheese lover.


Dessert Platter
 Mini Savarin with Chantilly Cream; 
Madeleine with Hazelnut; 
Cannelle from Bordeaux; 
Ice Cream (Vanilla Ice Cream & Raspberry Sorbet) 

By the time we reached the dessert platter, you can already imagine us rubbing our bulging tummy like having a "food baby". A little sweet things ended our meal perfectly.
