Marche Restaurant @ The Curve, Kuala Lumpur

Marche Restaurant in The Curve, Damansara, KL is like a Swiss Market Restaurant. It seems that they do have such restaurants in Switzerland and i really like the concept. accept that u can't really have the REAL market restaurant here cause it'll be very unhygenic (if u have gone to our local malaysian wet markets.. lol)
i never been here before and i didn't really know how this system works. but the friendly staff of Marche guided us through the system. each person has a card, and when you go to the "market" to make your order (salads, drinks, mains, appetizers, soups...etc) they will stamp something on the card to show that you have ordered something. once u have gotten your food, and finished, just bring the card to the cashier and they'll calculate the bill for you.

one thing i see here is that with that system, they really trust their customers. i mean, what if they eat and drink and get the card stamped, but in the end not pay and just walk out? of course if the place is empty, the staff would easily identify and know if u paid or not, but what if there's a crowd? hmm...
i came here with dad on a very quick-limited-time trip to KL. so we didn't have the luxury to browse through the restaurant and enjoy the food properly and soak the place in. we went straight for pasta (which we thought was the quickest food to cook), quick browse through the dessert area and drinks area and decided on what to get

i spotted this bread pudding and vanilla sauce, i just had to get it - lovely!

pasta with cream sauce and turkey bacon, with some onions and veg - quite nice

dad had this fruit butter cake for dessert - simple and nice as well


i would definately go back to have a proper meal, without any time limit, to go through the market and have a variety of food and enjoy it. i saw some steaks and fish as well, but like i said, didn't have the time. so far, this quick trip, it did give me a good 1st impression and i can't wait to go back there again :) i'll see u soon Marche!
