Home is where the mushroom mini-tart is: somewhere in TTDI, a family has opened its house to friends & strangers, all eager to eat pastries perfected by matriarch Jennifer Palencia. The concept is fuss-free: call to make a booking & come here for tea, Tuesdays through Fridays, 3pm-6pm. As you step in, the the air will probably be filled with the florid sounds of jazz & the fresh scent of butter & herbs. Spaghetti bolognese sounds like a cliche, but a version like Jen's reminds us that it's real
Home is where the mushroom mini-tart is: somewhere in TTDI, a family has opened its house to friends & strangers, all eager to eat pastries perfected by matriarch Jennifer Palencia.
The concept is fuss-free: call to make a booking & come here for tea, Tuesdays through Fridays, 3pm-6pm. As you step in, the the air will probably be filled with the florid sounds of jazz & the fresh scent of butter & herbs.
Spaghetti bolognese sounds like a cliche, but a version like Jen's reminds us that it's really a delicious recipe that's fun to gobble up, especially when the ragu is this fragrantly seasoned.
Hitting the sweet spot: lemon meringues, light but luscious, with a straight-from-the-oven feel.
Mini pavlova. On other weeks, teatime temptations at Jen's might comprise raisin scones, pistachio mille-feuille, cheese sticks, marshmallow meringues & pecan pie with creme fraiche. You never know what you're gonna get!
Saving the best for last: classic French-style puff pastries conclude our tea _ crisp, flaky ones, topped with rich, super-smooth creme chantilly & strawberries.Jen does dinners too, but for larger groups & only a couple of times a month. Expect hearty European fare like roast lamb, lemon-cooked salmon with onion rings & baked eggplant with Parmesan & tomatoes. Dinners cost RM150 per person; bring your own bottle.
