MICHELIN Selected Fine Dining Only RM95 in Kuala Lumpur (Soleil KL)

Soleil in Damansara City Mall (DC Mall) was recently awarded with MICHELIN Selected in the MICHELIN Guide Kuala Lumpur and Penang 2023. This restaurant is run by Chef Evert Onderbeke, whom you can see in action at the open kitchen.

Beef flank tartare was nothing short of spectacular. It pairs so well with the horseradish sorbet and ponzu caviar. I thought having ice cream on top and ponzu that looks like salmon eggs (it’s spherified with sodium alginate I think) was brilliant. Most importantly, flavors were well-balanced and complex. Escargots in olive oil and served with toasted brioche was also nice.

Mains was a whole lemon sole that’s longer than a fork! This is a huge serving and the fish was cooked well. Duck confit was a bit on the dry side though.

Desserts were excellent. We loved the strawberry mousse with tons of texture from feuilletine. The warm brownie with caramel ice cream was spot on too.

Lunch came up to RM371.85 for 2 pax 3-course lunch menu (RM95++/pax) and Syrus’ fish and chips. I ordered a glass of house wine for only RM25++ (normally restaurants price this RM30++). The portions are huge and we LOVED the well-balanced and complex beef tartare starter. Lemon sole was also done well. They have potential and it’s certainly worth a try! Lunch set menu with 3-courses for RM95++/pax is great value.

Thanks for watching, and see you all next video!

When I first came to KL I live at 10 samanthan Suites which is just a stone stroll away from DC Mall Damansara City Mall didn’t exist back then though this used to be the immigration complex I’m back for the first time in over a decade to dine at Soleil which is French for

Sun Chef Everett helps this restaurant and it was recently listed in the Michelin guide 2023 as a Michelin selected restaurant their three course lunch is priced at an affordable 95 Ringgit per pack and house pouring wine is only 25 Ringgit per glass which is very reasonable for a restaurant like

Paired with a horse radish sorbet ice cream which produce wonderfully harmonious flavors the ponzo caviar adds acidity so you keep on wanting more yes those are not ikura or salmon roll it’s ponzu certified with sodium alginate to give it a nice popping texture perfection in a dish I went with the

Escargot the burgundy or burgundy snails in garlic herb butter and toasted brioche I like the classic French flavors in the starter the snails are already the shelled which makes for easier eating I wish I haven’t tried my wife’s beef Tata starter though because they overshadowed my selection it really

Is on another level and I highly recommend you order that my wife had New Zealand lemon sold for her Mains and we were both surprised at the massive size of the fish Soleil used huge dinner plates and you can see how big the lemon salt is even on that large plate it is

At least 30 percent longer than a fork there’s a good amount of perfectly cooked fish a simple dry coating of flour before sauteing with butter to highlight the natural flavors of the fish I enjoyed this dish I opted for the dark coffee which came served with haricot beans

Something you don’t see very often in Asian cooking Pommery mustard works very well to cut through the rich flavors of the duck my only quiver with the dish was the duck being slightly overcooked the meat was stringy and lacking moisture desserts were hit though mainly had the strawberry mousse which comes

With raspberry jam lemon ice cream and few thin crumble that last bit is genius because it adds a lot of texture to an otherwise mushy dessert I love the texture of Philippine and enjoy it very much in cakes too very nicely done I was more than happy with my almond brownie

Cake too the brownie was served warm and contrast well with the cold caramel ice cream and the milk chocolate sauce it is a very sweet dessert which is fine by me as I love all the flavors in this dish however some people may prefer something acidic like fruit to cut through the

Rich flavors I am not some people though we ordered fish and chips of the a la carte menu for Cyrus that’s always a safe choice for a picky eater it’s battered and deep fried sea bass with Belgian fries he enjoyed it and since he couldn’t finish the plate we finished it

For him it was good and I like the Tate sauce that goes with it the portions are huge here which makes it great value for money I had trouble finishing all the food especially when my wife only managed to eat half of a New Zealand

Lemon salt dish the bill came up to 371 and I can see the potential for Soleil and one Michelin guide listed under missionly selected it’s certainly worth a try especially for their value for money lunch set menus
