Marmalade Pantry - Lunch - 280406


For those who've not realized that Foster's in Palais Renaissance has converted into the Marmalade Pantry, this sentence makes it obvious. I was actually looking for Foster's for my regular cheeseburger lunch, and boy, am I glad I did.

This place is for fancy, frou-frou and chi-chi people, and I don't think me and the missus, with two sprogs in tow, qualify as such. So they did what chi-chi restaurants do when faced with such moral dilemmas - they placed us at a table near the kitchen (the one outside the toilet had already been taken).

Back to the food - I had the Rib Eye Steak Sandwich with Wasabi Mayo. It came with some lightly fried sweet potato crisps, a small salad, and a beautifully cooked, juicy, medium rare rib eye steak trapped between two slices of ciabatta bread. FABULOUS for 20 bucks.

Wifey had the Ultimate Burger for 19 bucks. If you're not looking to pay $101 bucks for a foie/truffle/kobe beef burger, this is probably as good as it gets for sub 20. My first bite brought a blast from the past - it reminded me of the burgers I used to have at Taman Jaya (which, admittedly, only cost RM2). The burgers, served out of a van run by a guy called, what else, Jackson, was probably the most delicious burger I've ever had - this guy had a real touch with the caramelized onions, and the burger patties: crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. Back to the present - this burger was kinda like that, but probably made by a guy called Pierre.

My boy had sausage and scrambled eggs. Nothing much to shout about, except that there were enough eggs for two adults, and I'm also certain they used cream instead of milk for the batter.
