LWIN LEE | CAFE LAFAYETTE @ UPTOWN, DAMANSARA
In times of such fast-paced life the
metropolis is riding now, it’s not easy to really find hearty, wholesome dishes
that are deliciously served while keeping prices reasonable and yet raising the
bar in terms of freshness and inventiveness. Unless you have a bigger budget to
indulge in daily, most city folks would resort to fast food as the current world
dictates everything to be speedy execution from food preparation to work.
Thankfully, there is once café that actually takes the pain of cooking from
scratch everyday so to live up to the motto of eating fresh and staying
healthily.
Residing along one of the many busy streets
of TTDI is the home for CAFE LAFAYETTE, which
has been gracing the neighbourhood early this year. Founded by a passionate and
whimsical entrepreneur-cum-barista, his shrewd wittiness is reflected in both his
culinary menu as well as decoration of the interior itself.
Securing either a dim and cozy
lighting at one corner or a romantic set up perfect for some vis-à-vis session
at the other nook, both absolutely makes a comfy dining of this Italian
fusion-stemmed concept establishment.
Most sauce are inhouse made, aptly
acknowledged for the effortfully work of heart and soul, whereby the sauce is
only freshly made upon order, unlike the common commercial way which most would
prepare the sauce in bulk quantity beforehand. Hence creating the balanced nuance,
perfecting the overall taste in each dishes. Even the pesto sauce is also
freshly blended from basil leaves. This definitely deserves a great kudos!
All coffee here are served double
shot- medium roasted house blend with mild fruity body of Tanzanian and Sumatra.
For appetizer, you could start off
with…………
FRIED
MOZZARELLA (MYR 12.90)
MUSHROOM
RISOTTO (MYR 15.90)
Italian mixed herbs with mushroom
risotto using Swiss cream. Good stuff here and highly recommended!
SALMON
SPAGHETTI (MYR 18.90)
Chunky bites of salmon cubes with
tomato puree and olive oil in a light creamy gravy.
PESTO
DI SALMON (MYR 24.90)
This has got to be my favourite as
compared to the tomato gravy type, for its lighter and less fishy taste.
Springy pasta is done al dente, and generously mixed with the fragrant green
herbs.
HAWAIIAN
CHICKEN CHOP (MYR 19.90)
A huge slab of meat served
bounteously with savoury gravy, pleasing bites of mashed potato to go with the
thoroughly marinated succulent chicken meat, and garden salad as sides.
RETROMARCIA
CORDON BLEU FISH (MYR 26.90)
Love the uber juicy and moist fish.
It was cleverly executed that if I wasn’t been told, I wouldn’t have known it
was a Dory for the fish meat is toothsomely marinated with herbs. Good
camouflage but a pleasantly surprise one!
Up and coming new dishes for weekend grubs!
BALSAMIC MUSHROOM BEEF (MYR 24.90)
Beef pan
fired with button mushroom, oyster mushroom, onion and balsamic vinegar and
served with mashed potato and croissant.
Using specifically
tenderloin cut, diners get to savour a delectably juicy meat that is
adequately soaked with the relish flavourfully alongside savory curry gravy.
All in all, it creates a smooth composition and zestly appetizing with subtle
tartness to the taste bud.
The croissant actually reminds me of the oriental fare- dipping mantou bun with curry like at Pince & PInts or any thick gravy at Tim Ho Wan, hehe.....
CHICKEN ROULADE
(MYR 20.90)
Chicken rolled in sautéed mushroom, red pepper and
onion, served with mashed potato and nachos.
Again, a heavy dosage of herbs is
used to complement the sapid dish gracefully as well as tastefully too. The
nicely rolled poultry is stuffed with assorted spiced fillings that lends a
very vibrant and saporous hint, that goes really well with their inhouse
prepared chunky mashed potatoes. I just can’t get enough of the mashed spuds!
Hehe……………………….
BBQ CHICKEN TIKKA (MYR 20.90)
Spiced
chicken grilled with green peppers, pineapples and onions, served with croissant.
Would be better if the pineapple cubes have been served more, for that engaging savoury-sweet bites!
After the delightful feast, time to
clear the throat with some cooling beverage along some brilliant presentation
of cup of Joe too (=
CHOCORUM (MYR 13)
One of my fave beverage pick!
Never thought that the cocoa could actually blend in quite well with the rum taste, making this an unique blend. Something special and children-friendly i suppose, hehe.

forward to another return soon. Do check it out guys!
