I recalled an afternoon with my Mum when we both were searching for somewhere nice to fill our tummies with something light. Due to the limited choices nearby my home, we chose to try our Bistro Délifrance in which I never had the chance to pay a visit despite been walking pass the shop for countless times.It was a weekday and there were rarely anyone inside. The inside of the restaurant was much bigger than I imagined. Dim light, French paintings and the use of orange and white colours around t
It was a weekday and there were rarely anyone inside. The inside of the restaurant was much bigger than I imagined. Dim light, French paintings and the use of orange and white colours around the room made me wonder if I have stepped into a coffee shop by the corner of the high-street in Paris!
Looking at the menu, it was attractive with a wide range of Bistro tea sets. I was rather hungry and very ambiously, we ordered three dishes.
First came the Hot potato gratin. Small but pipping hot when served. The top layer of cheese was not too thick and blended well into the potato gratin underneath. Slices of onion were found inside to enhance the texture too! Nice little portion of starter that was!
Next, my Mini spinach and corn penne in mushroom sauce arrived. On a first impression, the appearance might doubt your judgement to the dish. Yes I must admit that I was slightly disappointed with the look..but when you try the dish out, it actually was not that bad as I imagined! The mushroom sauce went along very well with the corn and the spinach and penne! It might be a bit of a 'children food' .. nevertheless I enjoyed it with a heart and mind of a kid.
Up til this point, all we hoped for was something sweet to wrap up the meal. It wasn't long until our dreams came true with the arrival of Baked chocolate and banana thick milk toast! Now the appearance of this dish definitely helped the penne dish to grab a few points back! I was stunned by the beauty of the toast! (Considering that the previous dishes were not too much of a surprise in terms of the look). Though the toast had cold down a bit, the sweetness of the chocolate sauce matched nicely with the slices of banana. Perfect when you had a slice of toast and a zip of hot tea! Having spent around 2 hours of our afternoon there, with only one to two tables other than us and some of the old-school 80s songs played quietly at the background of the restaurant, what would be a better way to chill our afternoon away?
