Bistro à Table

Growing up as part of the MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship) kids, I remember we came in all shapes, sizes and with different talents too. We had different roles in this youth group but most of the time we were just boisterous kids looking for new ways to vent our extra energy. Well, some things never change. I got an email from a long lost friend called Isa. Isadora Chai was an MYFer, and me and my sister grew up with her in youth group. She was always the cute and talented one that people flocked to. We soon lost touch when we all parted ways to pursue our different dreams, in different corners of the world.

As fate would have it, our paths have crossed again just this week. Here she is now, right in our neighbourhood, pursuing her latest solo project called Bistro à Table. I was so happy to see her again after so long! Tucked away in a cosy corner of section 17, the bistro is a smart casual space serving affordable adapted French cuisine which has a great little menu, though small -actually, the best sort of menu’s are small, if you ask me. The food ranges between RM44 to RM194 for a 2-3 course meal. Helmed by Chef Isadora Chai, the bistro food pays homage to modern French comfort food, while adopting local elements and that is why it is  called “adaptive French” cuisine.

I like the fact that the menu though limited, has some great old fashioned favourites, and also because that gives it a chance to evolve, and Isa promises us that she will keep changing it up.  If you would like more information, please check out their webpage here. Also, I am told that there will be a degustation menu night, coming soon, every first Monday of the month, but not just yet. I will have to wait patiently for this..
