Hi-Tea @ Maison Francaise (French House) KL

Welcome! Welcome to this beautiful French House!

That was where we went for my sis pre-birthday celebration just between me and her. Well, it also served as a gossip session (all women need that). Ok, so we arrived at Maison around 1.20pm as their hi-tea only serve from 1pm onwards. We did not make any reservation. Thanks to my sis’s Waze GPS app in her phone or else we will never made it here. There were a few moments when the Waze said “turn left” and I have to make a sudden turn as if I'm escaping from the police… Genius me!

So here is the menu for high tea which is RM38++ (minimum 2 person) and exclusive of drinks. According to the staff, some of the item may not be available and will be replace with available pastries or desserts. The main reason my sis chose this place was to try their famous Cannele de Bordenux; a cake with a rich custardy interior enclosed by a thin caramelized shell, flavored with dark rum.

We opted for ice passion fruit tea and Americano coffee.

I was peeping through the glass door and trying take pictures. I was surprised when the staffs gracefully invited me in for a formal capturing, cause normally I will be told off not to do so. They do have a private dining room which will be able to fit about 20 pax. It is ideal for a small gathering or any form of celebration (my birthday is coming soon. Hint! Hint!)

As you can see from here, we did not get to have Apricot delight (Roasted apricot from Provence in butter sauce with vanilla ice cream)  and Crêpe with caramel sauce (A a very thin French pancake topped with sweet caramel sauce) as stated in the menu and been replaced with double Raspberry Tarts and other pastries.

DSCF97701
Clockwise: Raspberry tarts, Cannele, Mini passion fruit entremet, Croissant, lemon infused chocolate entremet and  Danish pastry with chocolate chips.

The raspberry tarts sweetness were well balanced.Love the pastry, not too thick and have the buttery smell. Cannele was good so were other pastries. Passion fruit mousse was slightly on the sweet side. Oh ya, in the middle was the Figs jam. Loved it! Very homemade feeling…



DSCF97711
Clockwise: Smoke salmon sandwich, raspberry tarts again, donuts with different toppings, Cannele and Brioche in the middle. We love the smoke salmon sandwich, everything was just right, a bit of spiciness from the onion, toasted bread, refreshing tomatoes and veggie.

After 2 hours of eating and gossiping, we decided to make our way home. While I was taking the last few pictures, the waiter was very kind to show us around the place. I feel like someone “important”… Haha. Just let me continue my imagination ok? So he lead us upstairs

Then after viewing upstairs, we head downstairs to the pool area. I truly find this place interesting and beautiful for events. For example, we can have your cocktail party near the pool side, afterwards to the dining area for proper dining and end the night at the cigar lounge. I'm so thoughtful to plan it out for you all.

See, I told you. Bar at the pool area..

My Bachelorette Party!!!!! @ Awanmulan, Seremban

I have been married for 6 solid months and now only I blogged about my hens’s night ( yes! super excellent in time management). The previous time I went to Awanmulan was to celebrate Valentine’s day with my bf (my hubby now) and it was awesome (click here).
So one month before my big big day, my sister organized everything and she even brought a large suitcase (for those who intend to migrate forever those kind) and refused to let me help her. I did not have to do anything except drove them here. Hahaha, good!

The game has begun! Before QA sessions, I was forced to drink a full cup of red wine follow by another cup. The little booklet my sis made was Q&A from my hubby. Some questions were so silly like my bra size…and his answer was so ridiculous. Haha. If my hubby answered wrongly, I have to drink. If I'm right, I also have to drink. Pity me..

53
Wine, vodka, hard liquor…. die die die!



54
The killer book that make me drunk!

After the King’s cup game, I was so drunk and they dared me to say Hi and waved to them at least 10 seconds (by shouting) to the opposite neighbor. My image just went down the drain T_T.
I cried like a crazy woman when my sis asked me to hit the pinata. The elegant swimmer was busy tying rope to hang my cute Pinata. Luckily I managed to save the little pinata… mission accomplished! The rest of the night was madness. Woke up to puke several times and morning feel like a zombie… Did not manage to take picture of the delicious free nasi lemak rendang ayam..

**Ladies, thank you so much for the memorable night. For all the efforts and I really had so much fun. This memory will engraved in my heart forever… Love you all! **
