Bijou, Mont Kiara – Dinner

Bijou is a sweet little café located below Damai condo next to a swimming pool in Mont Kiara that, if you’re not familiar with the place, is impossible to locate.

The first time I visited Bijou, it took me almost an entire afternoon tracing every inch of the ground in Mont Kiara looking for a café that might be built among the rest of the restaurants and happening place instead of inside a residential area.

Yes I was persistent, and glad that I was.




Because this place is one of the cutest by day, most romantic by night café I have ever been to; plants, pink and white pillows and curtains are its main theme. Café café was sweet, but that was more like fine dining restaurant than a café.


Strawberry Smoothie – my date’s drink


The reason I revisited this place, and probably going to visit many more times again in the future, is for their menu.

Bijou categorizes their day into four parts: morning, afternoon, early evening and night.

And believe it or not, they serve over four sets of menu. Yes it means that not at any time of the day you visit this place, you will be served the same sort of the food. They have a set of complete menus for breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner individually.


Ice Chocolate – my drink


And I love this place to bits.

The dishes we tried that day were Chicken and Duck Liver Paté,




This is an adorable, taste butt fulfilling dish; perfect as an appetizer to awaken your taste sensation. I shared this with my date and we both loved it! Reminds me of France where I used to drown myself in duck liver or goose liver (foie gras) paté everyday.


The Lamb Shank with herbal sauce


My date’s dish


Nice, the lambs might be a bit stiff but the seasonings were a good combination. They used mandarin as the main theme for their salad dressing which I think it’s really tantalizing when combine with the mutton.

Grilled Fish with Seasoned Vegetables


My dish


This, as warned by the very helpful informative waitress, can be quite fishy. But I was opting for something fishy that day so the dish came out just nice for me.

The fish fillet was decorated with shredded turnips and placed on top of a bed of seasoned vegetables and cranberry soaked onions. I must say, the onions were to die for. It’s a very sweet dish perfect for a sweet tooth like me.

I tried cranberries with many types of meat: beef, chicken, turkey; but never with fish and though personally I still prefer my cranberries served with beef the best; this was a very innovative and delicious meal for me.


Cranberry Sauce drizzled around the plate
