The Deli, MiCasa All Suite Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
When I read about The Deli from Boolicious's blog, the first thing that crossed my mind was what a real bargain the duck confit there was. So, the next time we were in KL city, The Deli it was for lunch.
There is no menu to flick through here, but rather everything that they offer is written on a huge chalkboard. If you are unsure of what to order, have a look at the slideshow on the TV screen and perhaps one of the tantalising photos would catch your eye.
I knew what I wanted even before I arrived, so I wasted no time in ordering the duck leg confit salad (RM17). Incredibly tender and flavoursome, I was a happy woman as soon as I took my first bite. I was most surprised that my daughter (only 2 years old) kept asking me for more "duck confit please mummy" and told me at the end of the meal that she wanted to return for more "duck confit" the next time we're in town. It was so good that she even licked the bones clean. I guess next time we would have to order 2 portions of this - one for her and one for me. Ah before I forget, the salad was clean tasting and dressed with a tinge of balsamic vinegar. Definitely one of the tastiest and most reasonably priced duck confit in KL!
My mum chose to have the Fish and Chips (RM20) since my daughter likes eating fish. Everything is freshly prepared here, down to the tartare sauce. The dover sole was fresh, sweet and flaky and was coated in a light batter. The tartare sauce was very good, we just couldn't stop dipping our fish and chips in it. So good, we had to ask for a refill.
Baby C clearly enjoying the ice-cream very much, we only managed to steal a few bites before she declared it as hers!

To end our meal, we had some caramel ice-cream (RM10 per scoop). It was luscious and deliciously creamy, although I do feel that it is slightly overpriced when compared to the other items on the menu.

The Deli offers a take-away service, so we bought a grilled beef sandwich (RM20) back for The Unc. The wagyu beef was tender, succulent and perfectly cooked, served with caramelised onions, rocket leaves and grilled peppers. However, the ciabatta and chips must have gotten soggy during the transit home (the chips! we had with the fish and chips were fine).
Wonderfully tender beef
