A Day At The Market

Last weekend, my wife and I decided to try out a new restaurant at The Curve (one of the shopping complexes near our house). Yuenn & I spend much of our time eating out and we were having too many burgers and Sushi for the last few days. So we decided to try something different.

Join us as we step into the Marche Movenpick Restaurant - a food lover’s playground.

Marche is actually pronounced as Mar-Shay which means market in French.

The concept of the restaurant is like a buffet in a market. You get to pick the food you want off the ’shelves’ and the stalls are manned by cooks who take your order and cooks the food immediately.

The food ranges from Sirloin steak, roast chicken, seafood platters, Rosti (a staple food in Switzerland), lamb, home made pizza, soup, gourmet sausages, doughnuts, muffins, hot cross buns and even ice cream. Virtually everything you can think of when you go to ‘market’.

This is the entrance/exit. When you enter into the restaurant, they give you a ‘passport’ for you to use as you order your food. Every item that you pick off the shelves will be stamped by the cook. Be careful not to lose your passport though, there is a penalty of RM200 (USD60) for each missing ‘passport’.

There are no shortage of seats in Marche. There are many stores all around the marketplace and each location gives you a different ‘feel’.

And now for the best part - the food

From the left - gourmet lamb sausage with French Djion mustard, roasted chicken with mushroom sauce, seafood chowder, sirloin steak with black pepper sauce.

Yuenn & I loved the food so much that we went back the very next day to eat their donuts, hot cross buns, seafood platter (grilled salmon with mussels and prawns) and to try out the Rosti - friend potatoes.

Total bill? RM130 (USD 39) spent within 2 days.

I’ll be heading there again a few days from now. Who wants to join me?
