LWIN LEE | LE PONT BOULANGERIE @ BEDFORD BUSINESS PARK, OLD KLANG ROAD

It was exactly monthversary when we visited Le Pont Boulagerie which opens its door to public on 4 June 2015 during a soft launch. Even then, words have got around excitingly among epicureans of Klang Valley, and eventually, the beckoning signal reaches our gastronomic radar (=

Le Pont means "The Bridge" in French. Like the name suggests, this is a place where the gaps are bridged and ideas are connected over good food and drinks.

 

There are 2 upper floors for dine in basically with the Ground Floor meant for take-away, which also houses the pastry kitchen helmed by Chef Fadzly and his team, whilst the dehydrated guests could get their thirst quenched at Beverage & Bar counter at First Floor and the final Second Floor opened to public is where savory kitchen is situated to dish up scrumptious repast by chefs seasoned with 3-Michelin star experience to whet your palate discerningly.

While anchoring French pastry as its backbone, the carte du jour interestingly covers various cuisines, ranging from modern European and Italian, as well as imparting some Japanese flair too.

F&B quality is utmost emphasized here, even preparing just a normal lemon tea but great details and efforts are added to it, and this synergy is what actually manoeuvring the business briskly behind Le Pont Boulangerie.

Embarked with an élan wooden décor, copious with multi-faceted vintage setting, this French bakery café is poised to draw you over for what is defined by true panache of authentic French boulangerie, pleasantly served at a truly affordable price.

Coming from the idea of interconnecting each other, the union concept is indeed intensely showcased in its contemporary interior design and asymmetrical built-up that exudes a sense of simplicity harmoniously but elegantly set forth at the same time, as well as reflective of its fusional bill of fare.

At Le Pont, from soup to salad, there’s no appetite too big or small. Get ready to relish from……..

Le Pont Mushroom Soup (MYR 9.90)

Served with house special sauteed mushroom toast

Pumpkin Soup with Mustard Seed and Squids Salsa (MYR 13.90)

Smooth and creamy pumpkin soup with a twist of tanginess

There is even Beet Root Soup, but only available with a combo set, not ala carte yet. A refreshingly light and squeaky-clean palate to beet root fans, an acquired taste to some otherwise.

Salad Nicoise (MYR 13)

The classic French salad with green bean, tuna, chopped egg and shallot vinaigrette.

Le Pont Caesar Salad (MYR 13)

Special Le Pont Caesar salad comes with a slow-cooked egg, crispy fried white bait, seaweed, croutons and shaved parmesan cheese

Aioli with Seasonal Vegetables (MYR 9.90)

The traditional French way to enjoy seasonal veggies. Isn't it a vibrant  hors d'oeuvre? ^_^

Le Pont crudités comes with house made pickles especially the radish, which tasted zestily tangy! On top of that, the carrot sticks are really crunchy and i never imagine cauliflower could actually be enjoyed raw (being the typical Chinese) and it's so crisp! The aioli complements well but i don't mind it to be more garlicky, yum!

Sandwich Combo (MYR 22.30)

The ‘best hits’ from selection of sandwiches, ranging from beef sandwich, smoked salmon sandwich, tuna egg sandwich and vegetarian sandwich, comes with truffle fries and garden salad.

Amusingly, my personal hits were the eggy tuna and vegetarian type. The seemingly kelp is wonderfully interwoven in its Japanese flair as well as the vegetarian nosh that gave a tough rival with its flavouful grilled greens too, somehow also reminds me of the ratatouille. Yum yum!

Beef

Feta cheese, zesty salsa verde and marinated capsicum

Smoked Salmon

Sliced cucumber and farm tomato some gold flakes

Tuna Egg

Marinated seaweed and farm tomato with some silver flakes

Vegetarian

Grilled zucchini, eggplant, red onion, capsicum and topped with basil sauce

As suggested by Le Pont, no spoon is required in enjoying these simply hearty grubs!

Up next is from the hot kitchen to your tastebud with tenderly prepared house specials that gonna please your palate decadently.

Braised Beef Brisket (MYR 33.80)

Perfectly cooked beef brisket served with buttery potato puree and ratatouille. Meat was tenderly cooked thankfully, and easily to fork through the succulence.

When it comes to serving the freshest and finest ingredients to the best selection of pastas, always prepare it al dente.

Anchovy Linguine (MYR 17)

Pasta tossed with anchovy sauce, seasoned with seaweed, then topped with chopped parsley. Daintily served with anchovy grissino (long slender crusty breadstick) that delightfully executed with the mild brininess. Ideal pick for people who is not so keen on creamy based pasta but appreciates subtle shade of gravy.

Squid Risotto (MYR 18.80)

Classic white risotto (cheese based) with sautéed squid. I like it as 80% cooked for the perfect nuance

Soon beverage and coffee to refresh, calm or excite you, just like the affagoto.

From Les Classique;

Rose Latte (MYR 12.50)

Affogato (MYR 12)

Premium inhouse made vanilla gelato using fresh vanilla pods to pamper you with the delicate velvet-textured. Only specially available with affogato only.

……….and the rich indulgent Hot Chocolate (MYR 11)

And certainly not calling it a day without taking away some of the mouthwatering freshly baked pastries!

Almond Danish (MYR 4.90)

Sundried Tomato with Basil (MYR 4.50)

Really love the freshly made and preservative-free loaf, spongy and saporous. I particularly love the sweet-sourish of the sun dried tomatoes that blends really well with the basil, which is also one of my favourite herb. Yum yum!

  

Mini Croissant (MYR 1.50)

The version of ‘krwah-sahn’ (as pronounced by the native, hehe) from Le Pont doesn’t fall far from the tree of a good French croissant. Each bite is fluffily flaky and most importantly, soft and buttery at the same time.

There's a simple elegance illustrated from the first course of bright veggies, fresh herbs, scrumptious soups, tantalizing entrées to aromatic cup of joe using its ‘Bridging blend’. From classic to modern flavors, the gastronomic journey takes you to an impeccable start then en route to wrapping up the meal on a satisfying note. From the first bite to the last sip, bliss!
