Food Wonderland: Food Foundry @ Happy Mansion PJ 17

My tummy was groaning for food after crawling on bed for 2 hours. First thing flashed into my mind was the Mille Crepe that I always wanted to try. I've read about this dessert from many blogs and the comments are all excellent. So, we decided to give it a try today. When I arrived, I was so surprised that the restaurant is actually facing a "pangsapuri look" flat, at the ground floor of a shop house lot. No air-con here but yet it was breezy with the powerful ceiling fan.

The ambiance

Nothing special on the drink menu. So, I ordered Nestle Ice Peach Tea which was slightly sweet to me. We chose Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab with Spicy Dressing as appetizer (RM8.90), Chicken Cordon Bleu (RM15.90) and Braised Lamb Shank (RM25.90) as our main. Not too long to wait for the food, here came the dishes. Looked appetizing. I expected the soft shell crab to be crispy like tempura but it turned out soft and doughy.

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab with Spicy Dressing

Two big pieces of chicken meat rolled with cheese and ham. Accompanied with creamy white sauce and sautéed vegetables (carrot, eggplant, zucchini and sliced mushroom). I found the meat was a bit bland, thought it could be better with smoke cheddar. However, it was good to eat with the sauce and veggies.

The hero of the day was the braised lamb shank. Looked at the big chunk of juicy meat with generous gravy and the same sautéed vegetables, I wondered whether I could finish the dish. When I had the first bite, my tongue receptor sent the signal to my brain and analyzed. Wow, it was so tender and juicy! The meat was not chewy at all!It went perfectly with the brown sauce full of diced carrot. At first I thought the gravy was too much for the portion, I've not wasted any single drop of gravy at the end. My philosophy is to respect the chef's creation is never leave a single drop of food on plate! I always try to practice it unless the food really tastes horrible.

With full stomach, we still wanted to try the famous Mille Crepe (RM9.00). There were 3 flavours strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. Being a chocolate lover, we had the chocolate one. As its name, this dessert is made of multilayer of crepes layered with flavoured cream. The thin layers of crepes looked like rice paper to me. The QQ texture liked konjac jelly with rich cream. Yummy...not too rich or sweet and it was good when it was served cold.
