I arrived on a drizzling Saturday afternoon to try their high tea. La Maison Francaise is housed in a restored, black and white 3-storey building.\u00a0 The ground level is the kitchen and dining area.\u00a0 Upstairs is a VIP room.\u00a0 The lowest floor is a space available for events. The d\u00e9cor is simple, classical elegance and continues the black and white theme of the building. It is a small intimate space and comfortably contains about 10 tables.\u00a0 Available only on Saturdays and Sundays from 2-5pm, La Maison Francaise serves French afternoon.\u00a0 What this essentially means is that there are French sweets such as Madeleines and Cannele de Bordeaux.\u00a0\u00a0 This is the menu I had.\u00a0 The menu changes weekly. ********************* Butter, Jam and Honey A small portion of fresh French gourmet butter and a selection of the finest jam and honey Homemade Brioche A highly enriched French bread with a rich and tender crumb Club Sandwich with smoked salmon A tasty home-made treat made with smoked salmon in a crispy toast sandwiches enriched with the flavours Escargot in Feuillet with garlic butter Cannele de Bordeaux A cake with a rich custardy interior enclosed by a thin caramelized shell, flavoured with dark rum.\u00a0 Our home-made doughnut A doughnut made from sweet yeast dough fried in oil with sugar and cinnamon Madeleine with vanilla Soft Madeleine with vanilla flavour Nougat and Raspberry Mousse Toast with Duck Pate ********************* You are able to pick the tea you like from a list.\u00a0 The list includes Mint Green Tea, Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Ceylan, Lapsan Souchong, Gunpower, Soleil Vert, Jasmin.\u00a0 I asked a waiter if coffee is available.\u00a0 He didn\u2019t seem to understand what I was saying. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0??????????? Of the items, the Escargot in Feuillet was very rich. Upon the first bite, you buttery flakiness of the crust immediately melts in your mouth.\u00a0 On the other hand, I didn\u2019t like the doughnut and wondered \u201cWhat\u2019s it doing on this plate?\u201d \u00a0There was a certain tackiness to the doughnut (relative to other classier items).\u00a0 It felt like it was fried in cheap oil.\u00a0 Worse, they didn\u2019t execute the doughnut very well&#8212;-the doughnut has a certain rubbery elasticity to it and oil seeped out of the doughnut as you bit into it. What La Maison Francaise really excel in is traditional French pastries.\u00a0 The Madeleines, Cannele de Bordeaux and Escargot in Feuillet, while not ground-breaking, are immediately authentic. La Maison Francaise\u2019s afternoon tea is available at RM38++.\u00a0 There is a minimum of 2 orders (in other words, you can\u2019t walk in and order afternoon tea for only 1 pax) because the tier the afternoon tea comes in can hold 2 plates.\u00a0 Tired of the usual afternoon tea?\u00a0 Then French pastries and confectioneries might be a welcomed change.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/travelrestauranthotel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_0036_tn-300x200.jpg"}
