LWIN LEE | LA CASA • RESTAURANT • PATISSERIE @ VERVE SUITES MONT KIARA
Welcome home!
Indeed, this is what La Casa literally exudes the moment you
step into this quaint, cozy establishment that specializes in Western and Italian
flairs, gracing the expatriate-centric neighbourhood at Verve Suites, Mont
Kiara over a year ago.
Embarked with a
multi-faceted design of wooden fixtures and quirky furnishings completes with
warm lightings, La Casa certainly lives up to a relaxing enclave to unwind
within its comfy confines of spacious 1,900 sq ft interior and a 500 sq
ft alfresco dining area.
Replete
with eye-catching throw pillows and olde-worlde bookshelves filled up with bottles
of assorted relishes and ceramic stacks, there is no reason why this homey
establishment not going to lure you over to dine and drink splendidly especially
with their awesome breakfast menu!
Not so hipster
but more on cozy environment with comfort food.
Unique and enchanting
chairs adorned with some curlicue element.
Befitting its name
which means The House, most of the food here are inhouse prepared from scratch
and sourced from the freshest ingredients without any MSG or preservatives by
all means. May, the founder of La Casa, is a true advocate of eating real food
and live well. After all, you are what you eat, ain't you?
Let’s check out
what we sampled the other day to kick start our morning fantastically!
GRANOLA MUESLI WITH YOGURT (MYR 22)
Healthy homemade
muesli consists of toasted grain, nuts, seeds and dried fruits served with
seasonal, fresh fruits, honey and housemade yogurt. The strawberries are
especially very sweet and blend in well with all the yogurt-drizzled companions!
BREAKFAST GNOCCHI (MYR 28)
Homemade gnocchi
with pesto, spicy Italian chicken sausage, egg cocotte and wild rocket with
parmesan and balsamic dressing. The inhouse prepared wurst was definitely a
star-stellar with its sapidity and chewy bites. Now I need not to worry about
synthetic stuff whenever enjoying my fave sausages for I knew that the casing used
to hold the homemade sausages here origins from natural source. Kudos!
ONE PAN BREAKFAST (MYR 32)
Comes with
choice of homemade chicken, spicy Italian chicken or beef sausage, turkey
bacon, roasted cherry tomatoes, baked beans, sunny side up, wild rocket and
toast.
Your ubiquitous
yet not so conventionally executed Continental breakfast, surely will win you
over with its tastily done bouncy Italian chicken sausage and terrific salt
& pepper sausage! My personal favourite goes for the original flavor, to be
paired with the fragrantly sautéed mushrooms and juicy cherry tomatoes.
TRUFFLE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH WAFFLES (MYR
23)
Truffle fans are
in treat again!
Served with
mesclum salad on the side, this innovative plate of truffled-infused scrambled
egg comes well-armoured with very crispy waffle on the crust that uses special
fold in method of meringue, rendering a very fluffy and buttery nuance. If the mushy
egg could go tad easier on the sodium, it’s a brilliant recipe from La Casa
undeniably!
BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST (MYR 22)
Fluffy brioche served
with caramelized apple, crispy popcorn, cream and maple syrup, easily makes it
a lovely brunch!
BERRIES WAFFLES (MYR 20)
You can never go
wrong with this- waffle with mixed berries, caramelized walnut, toasted almond
flakes, cream and honey. Each bites of the freshly made waffle were truly
engaging with its aromatic buttery hint. Optional to top up at only MYR5 for a
dollop of homemade vanilla ice cream, slurps!
And now, we’re just in time to call in the
dulcet treats for the sweet tooth.
SAINT
HONORE ISPAHAN (MYR 15)
Pillowy-soft profiteroles filled with a
light rose mascarpone cream, fresh raspberries and litchis.
LEMON
TART (MYR 12)
Mini pastry shell filled with lemon cream
topped with lemon zest and glaze. Expect a moist and piquant velvet custard engulfed within
the buttery tart.
SWEET
PLEASURES (MYR 14)
A dainty piece of layered chocolate and
hazelnut praline, coalesced with milk chocolate ganache, and light chocolate
mousse- bliss! It’s not overwhelmingly sweet but each morsel bits of this gateau
is just sensuously gratifying with the varlhona richness and liberally transfused
with hazelnut fragrance. Couldn’t ask for more with my fave choc brand in it, yumz.....
What’s better to
complement the sumptuous gourmet spread other than a good cup of Joe?
And so
coincidentally, bumped into a tomodachi whose aromatic coffee I’ve always
enjoyed, Masa- san. It’s nice meeting you again! Arigato gozaimasta!
FLAT WHITE (MYR 11)
CAPPUCINO (MYR 11)
PICCOLO LATTE (MYR 11)
On top of expanding its current offerings,
La Casa is also going versatile by looking into streamlining their takeaway and
corporate catering service too.
So pop
by one day at the new abode of La Casa, especially if you are one epicurean who
enjoy a quiet dining in the perfect mood-setting atmosphere of this hidden gem
at the commercial hub of Verve Suites Mont Kiara.
