I’ve had a fair few French onion soups, but a French Onion Miso Soup ($12.90++)? That’s new to me. The classic French soup is elevated by upgrading the standard beef stock with miso. The rich, heavy body of the beef stock is even more savoury thanks to the umami miso, and this is possibly the most savoury French onion soup on Singapore. It does border on being too salty at certain points, especially given the inclusion of the melted cheese blanketing the soup. However, the superbly sweet caramelised onions counter the sodium levels with their sweetness, and all was right with the world again. Thirteen bucks might seem extortionate for soup, but you’ll slurp up every last drop and conclude that it was worth every last penny.⠀

Besides their Chicken Cordon Bleu, @alkove.sg have more unique entrées, which I’ll definitely be back for.
