Lunch at Alexis

We went to TMPoint in Bangsar to apply to upgrade my internet connection to 4Mbps (yay). Since we were in the area, we decided to have lunch at Alexis Bistro on Telawi Street. We started with sauteed mushroom 'tapas'. It was a hearty bowl of sauteed button mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce. It was full of mushroomy goodness. The toasted rolls served with it were also quite nice.



The first main course was Chicken Escalope. Apparently an 'escalope' is a boneless piece of meat that has been thinned out by bashing it flat. In this case, it was breaded and served with roasted cherry tomatoes. It was fairly good, with the outside crispy and the inside soft and juicy. The side salad had an almond oil dressing I believe.



The second main course was a Chicken and Mushroom Pie. It was a flaky pastry served in a porcelain bowl. A creamy sauce accompanied generous chunks of chicken and mushrooms. It was nice but the pastry was hard to get at since it stuck to the lip of the bowl. It also came with an enormous serving of fries.



For drinks we had honeydew juice which was thick and fresh, and a cup of mango-flavoured tea which came in a cute little jug.



The last and most fun part of a meal: Dessert!
We had a Mixed Berries Meringue. It consisted of a layer of light fluffy cream drizzled with blueberries, sandwiched between thin wafer pieces, then topped with another layer of cream and fresh strawberries and blueberries. It was really really good. It's the first 'meringue' I've had, and I can safely say that it won't be the last :)



At RM122 for two people, it's definitely on the steep side, but at least it was good. Truth be told, I'm probably not high-class enough for this place, but it's nice to live above your station once in a while ;)
