IWFS at SupperClub SupperClub KL

This was a great evening of fantastically prepared French cuisine matched with some excellent wines from the Lyonnaise as described by Asian Principal for M. Chapoutier Wines Edouard Payot who was in town to share some knowledge and ensure that the food/wine pairing would be superb.

The SupperClub KL @ TREC is a Modern European outlet located next to RSGC Golf Course along Jalan Tun Razak. TREC apparently stands for Taste • Relish • Experience • Celebrate - although one of our friends insists on calling it SHREK and we don't have the heart to persuade her differently.

The SupperClub KL itself is an upscale French Gastrobar and the blurb has it as an "urban chic space features a large bar, dining lounge, a boudoir and outdoor terrace. Later in the night, it transforms into a swanky nightclub." Chef is Frenchman Romaine Fabre hailing from the prestigious Culinary Institute Paul Bocuse in Lyon. Romaine had worked in various Michelin star establishments in France and Switzerand, before coming to Malaysia and landing a gig at a French eaterie in Ipoh a couple of years back.

The service at SupperClub was very good, better than many hotel operations. Folded napkins on returns to the seat, wines poured well and in correct glasses, all plates at the table came out together (most of the time, a couple of odd blips in the middle), unobtrusive removals. Felt very well trained and professional.

As said, a great evening and well worth a visit should anyone find themselves in Kuala Lumpur!
