French food tends to be associated with fine dining in Singapore, but i recently discovered a quaint little french restaurant along Upper Thomson where they serve unpretentious french food in a cosy setting. This is a branch of the original restaurant in Serene Centre, and i must say that it is a wonderful place for affordable french cuisine (:
papa ordered the goat cheese warmed with salad ($12) but i didn't try it because i can't stand goat cheese! :p from the comments, it had a pretty strong goat meat/milk taste, so i'm glad i didn't try it.
*digression: oh gosh, i think my brain is shutting down, i can't seem to form sentences properly! :( i'm having writer's block, oh no.
okay, back to the review. my favourite dish was the dory with white wine butter and rice ($12.50). the fish was soft and nicely flakey and the sauce, oh-my--gosh. it was lip-smackingly gooooooood! :D slightly sourish and really really tasty, i absolutely loved it xD
the sirloin steak with french frites and salad ($15) was pretty good too. the taste of beef was slightly strong for my liking, but the meat was tender which was nice. and the horseradish mustard that came with it completely masked the strong taste, and made it absolutely lovely. the fries that came with it were delicious, probably because they were really salty :p i guess once in a while won't kill! (:
the fillet of chicken with cepes and butter rice ($13) was really creamy and cheesy. absolutely rich with flavour, but too overwhelming, in my opinion. by the way, what are cepes??
i resisted trying the confit de canard with french frites ($16.50) because i wanted to reduce my intake of deep fried food! i know, i know, silly me right. but i tried the sauce, and it was YUMMY. and according to the rest, the duck had a lovely crispy skin and soft meat, without being too oily. so if you come to this restaurant, go for it! :D
what was impressive at this restaurant was the service! it's a really tiny restaurant, inside only has three tables, and a couple more outside, and the cooking area is right next to the dining area with an open concept. the friendly chef comes out of the kitchen to greet all the guests and to enquire about their meal. i think it's really sweet (:
