| Great idea, lousy execution
I heard Marche is very good in Singapore. So to bring that idea into Malaysia is very much welcomed.
However, it wasn't all theat satisfying for my meals in Marche One Utama. There's nothing wrong with the ambience and settings of the restaurant though, in fact it was quite impressive at first to see so many different backgrounds to the different area of seatings, to assemble the market itself. It is not that comfortable though because many of the tables are pushed so near to each other.
First up, the drinks. We went to the "fresh fruit juice corner" and I've ordered my favourite lemon juice. The guy turned over, took out a bottle of concentrated lemon, and made my cup with that. So, it's not so fresh-fresh juice. But, still delicious, so no complaints.
Next up, the duck breast...cost us RM23 for one breast. If I were the chef, I'll call that a total failure. Tasteless, over-cooked, dry, and I found myself not able to chew any part of the duck breast.
Then the salad, mixes of vege, some i don't even know what kind of vege it is. Dozens of toppings for you to choose, I've tried all of it but none of them stood out to be nice. Just okays.
Finally the dessert...it was all average. But one stood out is the banana on waffle. First taste and you'll find it hard to stop. So, if you are weight conscious, please avoid this!
Here, after you place your orders, you are not adviced to wait around the counter as it might cause congestions. But when you're back at your own seats, some which are far from the counter you've ordered, you don't get to hear them shouting your numbers. So, it's something that has to be improved.
Overall, it's the worst main course (duck breast) i've ever had. |
