CHALET RETURNS WITH GOURMET SWISS-EUROPEAN CLASSICS

 

The unmistakable scent of Raclette Valaisanne — molten Swiss cheese paired with tender new potatoes, tangy cornichons and pickled pearl onions — heralds the triumphant return of Chalet to Sabayon, EQ Kuala Lumpur, from 14–30 August.

 
Dining is as much theatre as it is indulgence with Chalet’s signature show-stealers of Fondue au Fromage — a molten pot of velvety cheese and the majestic Canard à la Presse where a whole roast duck is dramatically pressed tableside in a gleaming silver duck press, making for an unforgettable performance of sorts.

 
Our preview begins with the alluring Raclette fresh from the grill, followed by sumptuous Beef and Cheese Fondues, the latter crowned with shaved truffle.

Pan-seared to perfection and paired with apple, port wine, brioche and endive, we take to the curtain-raising Foie Gras like proverbial ducks to water.

 
A luxurious hug in edible form best describes the silky Crème de Champignons Sauvages, wild mushroom soup served in a crusty bread boule.

 
Quality produce meets culinary technical expertise shine the spotlight on the timeless flavours of stellar mains such as Saumon Atlantique, pan-fried salmon with potato fondant, vegetables and a chive-kissed lemon butter sauce, and Carré d’Agneau Provençale, an unbelievably tender 30-day grain-fed Tasmanian lamb rack in herb crust with Provençale jus, asparagus and carrots.

 
Dessert is a grand finale in itself. The Notre Chariot à Dessert rolls in, an old-world trolley laden with sweet temptations: Saint Honoré avec Choux (shortcrust pastry piped with whipped cream crowned with caramelised choux puffs), Fruit Tarts, Almond Galette (flaky, buttery pastry filled with almond paste), and Apple Tart — each vying for attention.

Also, the pièce de résistance: Chalet’s flamboyant spectacle of Crêpes Suzette, flambé Cherries Jubilee, and the spirited Sabayon is memorable to behold, injecting a dash of delightful drama to the Chalet pop up experience.
