Matterhon Bistro @ Jalan Ros Merah


Matterhon Bistro @ Jalan Ros Merah



Budweiser.


Esprit Raspberry. 


Cream of Mushroom Soup. Not as creamy as it's stated & the soup is also tasteless. I think it will be better with a little more salt & cream.


Smoked salmon salad with assorted vegetables. 


Grilled lamb chop served with mashed potato, coleslaw & black pepper sauce. 


Grilled cod fish served with assorted vegetables, mashed potato & cream mustard sauce. Well grilled & tender. 



Chicken Ala Kiev. Deep fried chicken stuffed with seafood (mainly scallop) served with coleslaw & potato wedges topped with creamy lemon sauce. Crispy on the outside tender on the inside. Though I think it will be better with ham & cheese. Yea you know what is it right? Haha.


Affogato. Espresso topped with vanilla ice cream. Espresso is too hot and the ice cream melted too fast & it is also not well presented. The one I've had at Olio is much better to be honest.


Ingredients for the mixed fruits flambee.


One of the staff with getting ready to flame the fruits up with the liquor.



and.....the end result.
Mixed fruits flambee topped with vanilla & chocolate ice creams & nut flakes. Fruits are all too sour though.


Overall, the foods are not really that good & are also too costly. Guess I won't be visiting this place any time soon.
