French & Italian fare, carefully prepared by two Malaysian sisters coached by a respected French F&B consultant, surfaces this month at this casual restaurant in Sentul’s Viva Residency, not too far from the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre.

Duck Pate On Toasted Bread

Foodlogy might work well for a laid-back lunch or leisurely dinner; relax & munch on toasted bread topped with duck pate (RM15.90). Recipes here feature unexpected twists, like pickled red onions that provide a tang to Foodlogy’s take on crostini.

Apple, Walnuts and Cranberries Salad

Love the flowery plating for this salad of apple, walnuts & cranberries (RM15.90); the visual appeal sure stirs the appetite. Foodlogy’s menu is wide, with over 30 creations now offered; founders Sandy & Lily hope to update the selection monthly.

Asian-Influenced Tomato Cream Soup

Asian influences also keep things tantalising, from tomato cream soup tinged with tom yam flavouring & parmesan cheese.

Desserts

Desserts include crepe suzette with orange sauce & vanilla ice cream (RM15.90), though our preferred recommendation would be the pleasurable panna cotta, sweetened with Gula Melaka syrup & textured with sago pearls inside the cream (RM9.90).
