Confit, PJ Old Town

Confit is a French café in PJ Old Town, Petaling Jaya, cooking slow-braised classics and house baking — duck confit is the dish it takes its name from. It opens early and closes at six, which makes it a breakfast and afternoon place rather than a dinner one.

The detail worth knowing before you go is the toast. House-baked bread arrives with three infused butters — ratatouille butter, limau kasturi herb butter, and honey garlic confit butter — and that middle one is the whole idea of the place in miniature: a French kitchen reaching for a Malaysian citrus instead of a lemon. It is the sort of thing the bakery down the road is not doing.

What to Order at Confit

The duck leg confit is the signature. It comes with orange demi-glace, rosemary potatoes and croutons — the demi-glace cutting the richness of a leg that has been cooked slowly in its own fat, which is what confit means and why the café is called it.
