poulet + brasserie got 2x of the 3 course feast! what we got: - half chicken with mushroom cream sauce (8/10) - half chicken with cranberry sauce (7/10) - pan-seared sea bass (7/10) - prawn aglio olio (8/10) - mushroom soup (8.5/10) - truffle fries (8/10) - beef meatball (8/10) - brussel sprouts (8/10) - pineapple panna cotta (9/10) - mango pudding (7.5/10) the customer service was great… when we mentioned to them that the truffle fries came out room temperature, they replaced it with a new batch of piping hot truffle fries 🥲

Grilled Sea Bass ($19.90+) Sides were the star of the show here - mushrooms were great and the mashed potato is amazing as usual, I always order this when I'm at any Poulet. Seabass was just okay, skin was limp and flesh was tough - the only saving grace was the accompanying cream sauce

Set Meals Food is awesome here!

1-for-1 pizza Overall: 4/5 ⭐️ Food: 4/5 ⭐️ Price (with discount): 5/5 ⭐️ Ambience: 3/5 ⭐️ Service: 5/5 ⭐️ Overall bready yet soft sourdough crusts, with their specialty crispy chili oil to pair with on the side if you prefer (not the best though). The downside is that we were there during happy hour but we weren’t allowed to use both burpple and happy hour discounts. We sat inside which was a bit humid on the evening that we went. Staff were very nice despite it being a busier night. Paid $28 (including GST and service charge) for 2 pizzas, so it was very worth with the burpple discount! Not so classic marg ($24) Loved the buffalo mozzarella! Almighty cheese ($24) There was goat cheese as part of it and with nice crispy bits on the top to add more texture. Drizzled with hot honey (I think it’s meant to be hot as in spicy but it wasn’t that spicy). I personally love the savoury and sweet combo.

Butter Chicken ($28) Quite a unique combi and while the butter chicken couldn't replicate the creamy goodness of the authentic ones, it still passed muster. Loved the addition of the pickled onions as well, giving every bite a nice crunch and a slight tang.

Plant Square ($26) A medley of colourful veges adorned over a beautiful tomato sauce atop a delicious sourdough base. Think semi-dried tomatoes, huge black olives, slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini, slivers of mushrooms and bell peppers and artichokes. Lovely variety and all coming together so well. The accompanying chilli oil was pure goodness as well - drizzle it onto your pizza and also the crust for an added oomph.

Pork belly 45++ The price is quite something, but it's well justified. It's wet aged, dry aged, AND water aged The result speaks for itself. Really one of the best I've had, it's so incredibly good. The texture is superb, it's got the gelatinousness and fattiness that's uncharacteristic of pork belly. The flavour was good as well and there's this almost undescribable excellence to it The rock salt and the funky sandy sauces both work very well, but the melt in your mouth garlics take the cake Must try. Examplary. If their kbbq meats are anywhere as good they might easily be the best kbbq place in Singapore

Busan style 21++ As others have said, the peppery nature reminds of bkt. But it's much weaker, it's got not much body and seriously lacking in seasoning, which makes it taste bland overall. A good bowl of bkt soup beats this handily anyday if you're looking for intensity of flavour Execution wise the pork cuts and what they call pork maw were all cooked well. Esp the maw and the jowl, were very good I don't think it'd worth the try tho, unless got a reservation

Condiments I have to say the top plate of usual suspects is good. Esp the garlic doesn't have much bite The bottom is a green chili based sauce. It's got a rather intense fruitiness, although not from actual fruit sugar. But it's too weak to go with the meats

Scallop w/ Uni $18 The cramped and cosy 13-seater interior reminded me of neighbourhood sake bars in Tokyo, but the less than ideal air conditioning and heat from the kitchen certainly didn't make for comfortable dining. Luckily the carafes of cold sake went someway in providing relief from the warmth. Food here is tasty in general but otherwise very average. We enjoyed the scallops and asparagus bathed in a seafood-y cream sauce, as well as the cheap $3 otoshis(compulsory appetisers) of potato salad, liver pate, bread and baby anchovies. I would feel more inclined to return if the air conditioning situation was improved. Taste: 3.5/5

This needs no introduction. Lunch Bara-Chirashi at @bistrodulepin is perhaps the highlight of any weekday soirée on Orchard Road. At $14 a bowl, I am hard pressed to find a similar quality, hearty meal than this one; comes with a miso prawn soup.

Gotta exclaim that the 9-course Omakase dinner here was a real good value and quality for the $70. Situated in old Orchard Plaza, this is just a small establishment with confined space, giving one the same feel like that in Japan itself. Not as obvious from its name, it is actually Japanese fused with French influences. And the result was a Japanese dining experience with surprises in taste. That explained why the meal started with appetisers with cream cheese, liver pâté and burrata cheese. On top of the more typical but fresh items like Hiroshima oyster and Anago sushi, we were intrigued by their other items done very differently. Their sashimi was served with an interesting miso-peanut butter like sauce which gave it an awesome flavour, we’ll-complemented with crispy garlic chips and wasabi. The fried tuna was served with a tartar-like toppjng that went well with the deep-fried tuna. The meal was no lacking in premium ingredients, with black cod, king crab, Kagoshima beef and Uni. The black cod was well-executed and flavoured with a plum-pesto sauce, special and delicious. The king crabs were done tempura style and served with also an unique orange ginger sauce. Biting into those well-marbled juicy beef was just heavenly. And the meal definitely ended on a high note with the yummy angel hair pasta topped with Uni and generous portion of Ikura. By the end of the meal, we felt absolutely satisfied, with the good deal, quantity and quality of the food. We would recommend to add on a sake or wine to make the experience an even better one. Due to its space and popularity, early reservation will be a necessity to avoid any disappointment.

Great pizza Prawn and chilli oil @ $26.50 Pizza crust is thin and has a very nice chewy texture. This flavour is nice but there isnt too much of chilli oil taste which is a little bit disappointing. Very nice and the place is a chill cafe at a HDB void deck, will go back again to try other flavours and the pasta as the menu is quite extensive.

Great pizza Ham and mushroom @ $23.50 Pizza crust is thin and has a very nice chewy texture, this flavour is good too. Very nice and the place is a chill cafe at a HDB void deck, will go back again to try other flavours and the pasta as the menu is quite extensive.

4/5 Preserve Lemon Chicken Saffron 4/5 Margherita Pizza 3/5

French cuisine in Singapore This is for the date night or date lunch that you have been waiting for. We celebrated our colleague's birthday and opted for the set lunch at $34++ per person, which includes these three items: 1. Starter - Burrata Di Puglia 2. Main - Steak Frites - Striploin 250g (with a $6 top-up) 3. Dessert of the day OR coffee//tea In my personal opinion, the top-up for the steak frites might not be necessary, as it didn't stand out compared to other options like pasta or sea bass. However, if you're a cheese lover, do not miss their Truffle & Honey Baked Half Camembert. It's a sharing portion that combines the richness of cheese with the exquisite truffle flavor and a hint of sweetness. For those who appreciate bone marrow, this place serves one of the best I've ever tried. Their roasted bone marrow is generously portioned and practically melts in your mouth. It's a true delight! 🤤 : 4.5/5 💰 : ~$60++/pax 📍: Josephine

Dessert of the Day These mini choux puffs were fluffy and paired with a velvety smooth vanilla ice cream, it sure hit the sweet spot to end a delectable meal.

Beef Ragu Pasta / Pan Seared Sea Bass (Luncb Set Mains) Hearty-ly delicious! The pappardelle pasta was perfectly al dente and each strand was slathered with savoury meaty sauce. Not only was the pasta dish packed with a depth of flavour, it was filled with generous amount of tender and juicy shredded beef meat. The sea bass was beautifully executed as well as it was pan seared to a nice crisp skin. The flesh was firm, succulent and flaky with a mild delicate flavour and subtle sweetness to it. Placed on a bed of creamy spinach, the richness was a nice accompaniment with the fish.

Indulge in the exquisite flavours of their Unagi Don or the Chirashi and Uni Don with a generous array of thick sashimi. The panoramic view of MBS is the perfect backdrop, whether it's day or night.

Unagi lunch set ($32) Prefer the salmon mentaiko set but this unagi set comes w additional onsen egg & salad

Salmon mentaiyaki ($28) Located at L8. Dine w a view. Salmon was thick & mentaiko was generous! Set lunch comes with miso soup, truffle chawamushi

Soy Sauce Chicken Noodle Hmm. I'm not impressed. This place feels like one of those glorified hawker food. The meat (albeit breast) was okay, but not awesome. The noodles and the soup were mediocre. The star though was the chilli. It has lard, which enhances the fragrance of chilli even more.

招牌豉油雞單人套餐 $12.50 Signature Soy Sauce Chicken Noodles Executive Set

Japanese buffet Good quality food items, served with small portions, yet delightful. Works well for a buffet, which allows us to try out many different dishes. Check out this complimentary mentaiko scallop. Super good!

Thick-cut Sashimi & Good Service ($56.90++ per pax) Highlights: Thick-cut Sashimi, Mentaiko Scallop, Wagyu Beef Salmon sashimi was good! I didn't enjoy the yellowtail sashimi though. Other cooked items are quite ordinary. If you need veg, go for the okonomiyaki! Cabbage seems healthier than the ingredients in their salad - (iceberg?) lettuce, corn, cherry tomato, cucumber. The buffet comes with free ice cream :) Some hit and miss items, but overall I recommend this place! Allergen: Chawanmushi has prawn

Amazing Japanese Buffet My favourite Japanese buffet as they serve quality food. Sashimi is thick and fresh, and decent selection. Love their teapot soup and Ikura chawanmushi as well. Fast and efficient service, and they didn’t miss out any food that we ordered. Would definitely come back!! Cost: $51.90 per pax

Braised Pork Rice Set | $8.50 A set that comes with braised pork rice, flavoured egg, and braised cabbage. The braised pork was fatty, which gave a nice soft melt in your mouth texture with every bite. Very nice braised flavour, and unfortunately for me it was way too fatty to my liking. I enjoyed the flavoured egg, but the braised cabbage was so soft and good! Overall, worth it for the price, though it would definitely suit people who prefer fattier pork in their luroufan! Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟

authentic taiwan bowls! we got the signature 3 bowls - oyster mee sua, sesame oil chicken rice and lu rou fan, along with brown sugar bubble fresh milk included in the set (19.9)! my favourite was the sesame oil chicken, as the rice was well flavoured and oily enough HAHA tasted like shallots and the chicken was very flavourful!! the other two were normal, tasted authentic

Yummy authentic Taiwanese food The rice bowls came in mini size but they are quite filling. The braised pork rice is yummy and we ordered the egg that goes very well with the rice. I usually don’t eat oyster or intestine but I was happily gobbling down the oyster and intestine with my mee sua. The tofu with century egg is yummy too - cold tofu with pork floss topping makes it even tastier. My only grievance is the Taiwanese sausage that costs $4.20 (a bit pricey for a few slices!). Love the decor and ambience here.
