My colleagues and i recently tried out this restaurant with it's well-lit name, Bonne Grey.
2 things that brought us here - we had Groupon vouchers for a 3-course meal AND it was in celebration of Gaik Bee's birthday.
For a full-course meal worth >RM 40/pax, we would be getting a salad + drink + main + dessert.
Thanks to Groupon, we only had to pay RM 12.50/ pax now.
(It's the thought that counts, Gaik Bee) =P
As attractive an offer this was, there wasn't a huge turnout and we managed to reserve our seats in this cosy, if not almost empty restaurant. Birthday gal Gaik Bee was all smiles... =D
After a quick order from our already-limited menu, it was photo taking session as usual.
Thanks to organiser Choy Phyll (in white) who is a total Grouponholic!
When the food came, in my opinion, it was kinda lacking in presentation and taste. The salad was plain amateurish, even a 5-year old could prepare it.
The Spaghetti Marinara was 'not bad', or so i heard. That's when i noticed the servings were rather small.
Like this Chicken Lasagna.....Gaik Bee ordered this, but can't recall any negative (nor positive) remarks from her. Maybe she was just being humble and 'un'picky towards her food, unlike me.
I didn't think the Lasagna looked as appealing as I hoped it would be.
Yours truly ordered the Baked Marinated Butterfish with Couscous/ Steamed Rice. Sounds heavenly, doesn't it? Well, this dish actually ended up looking like my regular
nasi campur with grilled fish and salad (the same kind i had earlier) and MSG-laden soup as sides. And what couscous?
I do like that the fish meat was tender and tasty, but it was rather dry to eat with plain rice.
My consolation (apart from the great company i was with) was the desserts!
We had Belgian Waffle with Vanilla Ice Cream....niceee!
While i chose the Warm Chocolate Tart with Ice Cream which turned out to be even nicer! Loved the warm and gooey melted chocolate which pairs up well with the icy cold vanilla ice cream.
It may be that only the desserts are worth mentioning here, but even so, it's quite over-priced for a place like Bonne Grey's. My only wish for this place is for them to improve on the food quality fast, or else, their tenancy here in Menara Hap Seng will be short-lived.
