Set Lunch at Le Périgord

Le Périgord's Grilled Salmon (14 May 2016)


My wife and I had the pleasure for trying out the set lunch at Le Périgord, a French fusion restaurant in Pulau Tikus. Priced at RM19.90 nett, we feel this is good value for money, for French food.

The lunch set of Le Périgord comprises the Soup of the Day, the Main Course and a Drink.

For the Main Course, diners get to choose one of the items:

1. Grill Salmon served with butter rice and seasonal vegetables.

2. Tonkatsu, which is free-range pork loin, deep fried with panko crumbs and served with home-made mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

3. Aglio Olio Pasta, which is spaghetti with prawns, chilli flakes, olive oil, garlic and onion.

4. Chicken and Mushroom Pasta, which is linguine with chicken and mushroom, cream sauce and oilive oil.

Also available as added on are the restaurant's petite cheesecakes, priced at RM6.80 each.

My wife chose the Chicken and Mushroom Pasta while I chose the Grilled Salmon. We tried out each other's food. I enjoyed the grilled salmon very much. I find that it is quite a big chunk, so it's quite good value for the price. Also, the fish was nicely grilled. Although big in size, it was not burnt, nor the inside undercooked. The flesh was still juicy throughout, just the way I like it.

When I talked to the chef afterwards, I was told that some diners felt the portion size to be small. To me, the portion size is fine, maybe because I am quite a small eater. I didn't even intend to finish the butter rice that came with my salmon, wanting to leave some room to try out the cheesecakes. I do acknowledge that the amount of soup is not large, compared to many other restaurants which charge even lower for their lunch sets, but we need to bear in mind the quality of ingredients used. But I quite understand that local diners would want big value for money, and would not be accustomed to portion size in a French restaurant (even if it's French-fusion). To me, RM19.90 nett is still very good price for the quality of food. Of course, if you are still hungry, you can order the petite cheesecakes, at RM6.80 each.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
