This is Marche

Expensive, but still crowded... This is Marche.

okay, to be fair it is not the most expensive dining, but i am using the living standard of a fresh grad so bear with the poor guy here.. =p

I remember the last time i visited this place (also the first time) we ordered the mushroom soup and it turn out to be the most awful thing on our table and neither me nor my friend wanted to finish it despite it cost like 8 bucks.. it had too much sour cream and bits of dunno wat.. it just isnt our kind of thing.. yuck..( it maybe nice to others, but we passed.. take it..)

But there are some pretty nice dish too like the following.. which is the main reason i am willing to go again..



The first dish, chicken mushroom crepe, roasted chicken and sauteed mushroom (this way of cooking mushroom is my favourite, and it goes well with dry ban min too) wrap with cheese and tomato paste, definitely worht trying..


The next one is simple but surprising a very very nice dish.. it is pan fried shreded potato. there isnt much seasoning but the sweetness of the potato is so prominent when they prepare i this way.. another must try!


something new i had today is the apple juice, which was also better than expectation.. So all in all a nice meal, worth it!

Something unique or also evil about Marche is the paying method. Everyone gets a card and all u need to do is order and let the food counter swipe the card and it goes into ur card.. similar to visa card right? i mean u cant see the cumulated amount and u walk around the fancifully decorated stalls and keep ordering until u see the total at the counter.. aint this evil?

  1. I know there's one in The Curve. Never tried. Heard it's expensive and they prepare the food right in front of you. The final product is quite bare, without much trimmings.

  2. Will u can take a look at the photos on ur revisit.. =p
    keep getting stuck on my phone.. finally got it on..

    Yea the food is fresh from the materials, which is why it is popular here.. but true to say expensive.. cause it is like a high class hawker centre, u walk around see what feels good and order, but the cost u like 3 times of hawker centre price.. all the more in malaysia if they double it.. next time come here eat.. I am sure ur lou gong zai wont mind.. =p

  3. I tried few times in Marche The Curve...to me it's pricey...but not sure why, it is always crowded. To you and Will's lougongzai, it's only 1/2 price, sup-sup-sui lah...

  4. Ah, I've seen it but never really walked in before. I thought it was a market. Cuz marche means market in french or something, right? Haha. Well, the food looks pretty alright. Perhaps I'll give it a go sometime. :D
