We wanted to go for a quick lunch to appease our growling stomachs so N drove us to Touche in Section 17. J had tried this restaurant before with Mr. Z and concurred with our selection.
When we entered the restaurant, we were immediately hit with a sense of deja vu because it looked similar like our usual hunting ground, Seeds & Wheats Cafe in Section 13. The pastries looked the same, the bread looked the same. Even the writing on the pastry labels looked the same! Later we found out that they are sister cafes. The seats are limited though, but we guessed it had something to do with maintaining good quality service or something like that. The air conditioning certainly helped with the humid weather we were trying to briefly escape from so we rated the generic cafe setting a 7/10.
The brunch menu looked more appealing than the lunch one, but we came way past the brunch time.
J, extrapolating that what works in Seeds & Wheats should work here, opted for the grilled chicken chop, setting him back RM 19.90 pre tax. N also made the same option. The chop looked similar to the one in Seeds & Wheats but with more greens and less carbs. There they served the chicken chop with a huge dollop of mashed potato & a side of fries but here they served it with with garden salad and the mashed potatoes. Taste wise, it was not too far off the mark. The chicken was tender and not dry, the mashed potatoes were a mouthful to finish and the crisp salad helped balance out the meal. so they gave their food 7 out of 10.
S tried the baked chicken sandwich, which cost RM 16.90 sans tax. Yes, she had sandwich for lunch. The greens were fresh and crisp,not that soggy weird texture you would sometimes get. The dash of parmesan dust added to the sandwich added heaps of taste in addition to the zing you get from the vinaigrette dressing. The chicken breast slices were not too dry either, and the tangy mustard seeds on the crust added some pop to the flavour profile. Overall, an okay sandwich to appease one’s hunger until an early dinner. She rated the food a 6/10.
We did not order any drinks because there was free flow plain water.
The pastries looked delectable. S ogled at them too much that N probably though she had a crush on him or something since the pastries counter were next to him. However, just when she had the courage to go up and choose the lucky pastry, she saw a fly comfortably nesting on it. As pretty as the decor looked, a pastry counter with the back exposed is never a good idea in this part of the world. So, S’s money and stomach were saved by the hardworking fly.
Overall a nice quick lunch in a comfortably cozy setting. The food prices were in the upper middle range and the buzzing fly reminded us that we were still in Malaysia.
Here’s the address if you want to check it out: 7, Jalan SS 17 /56, 46400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
