[Okay, this will be the 3rd time I am re-typing this, please, I say PLEASE, don't let me laptop crash again. Grr.]
Yesterday around 6:00AM in the morning I got a call from my classmate, Yee Ven, she said she needed a favour from me. Her friend from Taylor’s School of Hospitality and Hotel Management is having a practical assessment today and will be required to bring 3 guests to one of the fine dining restaurants at Taylor’s PJ. I have always wanted to try out the food prepared by the hospitality students, so I agreed and so did Angie and Zanne.
Hence, around 12 noon we went into L’escoffier.
The menu of the day was:
Appetiser
Pumpkin soup
Main course
Sauteed chicken with Chasseur sauce
Dessert
Apple pie
We started of with some bread and butter.
We also ordered this fruit passion thingy juice for RM3 a glass. (The rest of the meals were free. =D)
Finally our appetiser came. Pumpkin soup. Yeurgh. I’m not really a fan of pumpkins. I found the soup to be a bit too pumpkin-y. But I added a dash of salt into it and it became much more er…bearable.

After our appetiser, we were served with the main course, sauteed chicken with Chasseur sauce. Chasseur sauce is a type of brown sauce with mushrooms, shallots and white wine. I’m not sure if they put white wine into this one, although I could almost taste it.
It was quite nice actually. Wouldn’t mind having it again.

Lastly, we had our dessert (which is my favourite part!).
During our stay at Hotel Equatorial Malacca we had something similar to this at the hotel and I would say that the apple pie prepared by the hospitality students were much, much better. The pastry was really good although the apple was a bit sour.

So that marked the end of our very first lunch at L’escoffier. Well I hope Yee Ven’s friend get decent marks while serving us. =D
