Hands down my favourite banh mi in Singapore. Soft inside crispy outside, the baguette is outstandingly delicious compared to many other banh mi stalls I've tried. Fillings were super generous that I couldn't finish all of them. The only gripe I had with my banh mi was how some of the pig's ears were quite hard to chew but that's just a personal preference. Other than that, the banh mi is so good and the sauce punchy and refreshing. They definitely don't skimp on the sauce and ingredients. Highly recommend to eat it within 10 minutes as the baguette stays crispy only till then.

A surprising gem here! Didn't expect to find a delish chicken stew here. Generously filled with herbs like dang shen, dang gui, huang qi and red dates, the soup is really flavourful and comforting. Chicken is super tender and the pig's stomach is clean! No funky smell at all. Recommended!

A nice start to our meal with something tangy and spicy! Love the garlicky notes though they can get a tad bitter. The cucumber slices are refreshing for the palate too.

The broth is very strong-smelling and tasting from the pickled cabbage. I personally don't enjoy it as much as I would like to. Not spicy at all so this is one of flavours for the non-spicy eaters.

Pretty good rendition of mala grilled fish! Fish could have been more fresh, but aside of that, the broth is actually pretty numbing and spicy. A bit on the salty side but it's nice with plain white rice!

Also this pithivier pie deserves another post on its own because it’s sooo good (but my photo is not focused 😭).The legs of the guinea fowl make their way into this dome-shaped pastry. Creamy, buttery and tasty!

The portion is massive, at least for 2 pax. Fowl is generally quite tough, so don’t expect something super tender like the andy’s fried chicken (on the menu). Yet, the flavour is what you should be after. It’s sweet, salty, smoky and peppery. Meat is generally moist as well. Do yourself a favour by squeezing some lemon to get some tangy kicks!

Sometimes while drinking wine, all you crave is a piece of good fried chicken. And this is here to deliver that. Crispy skin with not-too-thick batter doused in cayenne pepper and garlic. Love how moist and tender the drumstick is.

Super light and buttery vol-au-vent topped with scallop, prawn and ikura. Comes with thermidor sauce as well as gruyere cheese. Looks rich, but it’s actually not, in a good way. Wish I didn’t have to share this!

Beef tartare on toast with a twist. While the addition of scallop makes the tartare sweeter and slightly smoother, I think the genius add-on here is actually the cured egg yolk dipping. It helps add more creaminess and slight umami to the otherwise already great toast.

Lays but make it fancy. Love how the thinly sliced potato still retains its “chewy” texture. The dip on the side is way more addictive than Lays’ sour cream version— more garlicky, less jelat and more cheesy in flavour.

Decadent treat for an appetiser. It’s cold, rich and umami at the same time. Forget the fine dining etiquette and just grab and savour this goodness before all the foie gras shavings melt. The toasted brioche is slight warm and fluffy. Mindblowingly good and will defo order again when I’m back!
