MIGF 2014----PART 1; MAISON FRANCAISE AT CHANGKAT KIA PENG IS A SECLUDED SANCTUARY OF CULINARY DELIGHTS NESTLING AMID VERDANT GREENERY IN THE HEART OF KL GOLDEN TRIANGLE, A MAGICAL, MARVELOUS AND MAGNIFICENT DISCOVERY!

THE MORE INFORMED AND WELL VERSED IN LIFE'S FINER OFFERINGS HAVE HEARD OF MAISON FRANCAISE BUT LIKE ME, MAY NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS LOCATED.

So I was bemused when I realised even I was not sure where the restaurant was located. In fact, my taxi went past it as it is a bungalow but Changkat Kia Peng ended in a dead end so we reversed and I found it.


The owner of Maison Francaise is Sainy Chun which is pronounced 'Zeny' and not 'Zany'. I asked her why such a weird name and she replied "That is because I am Korean! And I am not a Park or Kim but a Chun!"


Tall, slim and elegant, Sainy Chun was garbed in black like the rest of her staff and so was I except no one in their right mind would ever mistake me for a waiting as I look so naturally arrogant and snobbish.


I am impressed to discover she owns and operates Maison Francaise herself and has no partners. So nice to find a woman who runs her own show and not on behalf of her husband, bf or sugar daddy.


Then one night her friend Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din brought a friend to dinner and introduced her. Yes, they married  a month ago! He is a Sabahan and was in Amsterdam last night when I attended the dinner hosted by Dato Steve Day and Datin Su Day as part of Malaysia International Gourmet Festival (MIGF) dine-around merry-go-round.


Head chef is Thierry Le Baut from Britanny in la belle France which ensures Maison Francaise (French House) offers truly authentic French cooking with no compromises!


You will love the restaurant housed inside what was once a spacious home replete with big swimming pool and vast garden.


The landlord also owns 3 more big bungalows in the vicinity and lives nearby so Sainy Chun has to pay rent right on the dot.


But business is booming as word gets around Maison Francaise is synonymous with fine French food!


Says Chef Thierry Le Baut, " We have one of the finest cellars in Kuala Lumpur and our wines are second to none."
