1. The Enchanted - Rene Denfield
Moussandra
Wednesday. 9.9.09 9:30 am
I have noticed this restaurant sitting quietly in the row of old shoplots, wondering why would a restaurant established in this kind of area, not mentionning the road in front of it is dark and lonely when the night arrives, though surprisingly, it is just behind the buzzing and sort of wedged by shopping malls: Lot 10 and KL Plaza in Bukit Bintang. And this observation has been way too old for me to mention; it is 10 years old. Yes, absolutely correct. I have known this restaurant for over 10 years but I never once stepped into it though the signboard attracted me a lot.

And only after 10 years or so, I finally had my chance to dine into this restaurant tucked away in its own way amidst the bustling shopping malls. It is called Moussandra. It serves Mediterranean and Tapas. It was an accidental visit. I was around Pavilion shopping mall finishing my work and was heading to the monoral station. I was using the non-traditional road or you could call the dark alley (only during the night) and this restaurant is located somewhere along my journey. I stood in front of the restaurant and contemplate whether to enter or not because the road and the shops look so deserted!!!!



I saw someone drinking at the balcony and I managed to gather my courage and climbed the stairs. Not bad ... I could see lots of review been done on this restaurant which boosted my confidence. And ... the door cracked. No customers at all!! I looked around for that spotted customer and realised it was the chef, not any customer! What to do? I have already stepped in so I meekly asked for the menu. Nothing grand on the menu but those food list surely brings back memories of my work in a Turkish restaurant. Though simple, the menu suits my taste.

I looked at the set lunch price and jumped up! It was RM20 and it is worth of my 6 days of lunches. Argh!! I want to eat but the price... I eventually gave in to my tastebud, thinking this would be an early birthday lunch for myself. I deserve it since I was in a depression mode and I had not eaten any good food since I started working on my new job. So I sat at the corner and looked at every detail of the restaurant's decoration.




I didn't do any reading like I always do whenever I dine alone. I just sat and drank the sun light coming onto my table area. In the middle of my gaze, the waitress brought water. Thumbs up for the service! And I returned to my gaze....

The waitress walked pretty quietly and the next minute I saw a Spanish omelet in front of me. It looked too cute to be eaten. And I wonder how many of eggs did the chef use to create such height. It must be very high cholestrol for me. But I still digged in!




The presentation looks alluring. I carefully poked into one of the eggs and bit . The texture is firm and yet spongy. I don't mind the blandness though. The texture is good to be eaten without any flavouring whatsoever. But I could spot some potatoes in the omelet.

I went back to my gaze shortly after the omelet. This time I waited a little longer for my Pizza de Setas. It was worth waiting.



I like the presentation. Not too exaggerated and yet looked mouth watering. I sank the first slice into my mouth. I could feel the tomato puree, oyster mushroom, sauteed shitake and basil leaves blended nicely in my mouth. Without realising, I was already on the second slice. The crispy crust could also be the other reason for my speed eating. The base is light and crispy as though you are eating some freshly baked thinly slice of biscotti. The pizza is so afresh from the conventional pizza.

The dessert arrived before I finished my pizza. Argh!! Don't steal my moment with the pizza!!



It was Creme Brulee. I kept asking the waitress if this is an alcoholic dessert because I read 'Brulee' and she kept on saying no. Haha... I had a choice between homemade vanilla ice cream and Creme Brulee. And I thought I should have chosen the former because I forgotten I don't really like caramel. The caramel was perfectly burned and it was not too sweet. The caramel went well with the smooth pudding. Though I am not a big fan of caramel, I found myself wanting more when I reached the last scoop.

I approached the counter slowly as I looked around the restaurant for the final time. I thought to myself how quaint the restaurant is and yet it gives me peace and comfort. Could be because I was the only customer during lunch hours! I walked down the stairs and glad I left my footprint. I guess I will be leaving more prints there very soon....
