Poulét - The Amazing Fresh Roast Chicken BUGIS

The amazing French roasted chicken. Initially we were quite skeptical to dine in here since there's no one in the restaurant. But we decided to give it a try since we were craving for some French dishes. We ordered the set for 2 for $67.56 which includes their truffle shoestring fries, a mushroom soup, signature half roast chicken with mushroom sauce, a chicken carbonara pasta and a homemade tiramisu and two cups of drinks.

The french roasted chicken indeed was their signature. The chicken was roasted so on point that the meat was literally falling of the bone, so tender, yet not overcooked. Since it was roasted, we were prepared for a dry chicken meat. The chicken itself was juicy, tender, and simply just pure joy. The acocmpanying cream was indeed creamy, light and couples well with the toasted chicken.

The mushroom soup was creamy, rich and comforting for the tummy. The toast croutons were just meant to be there. Honestly it was one of the best mushroom soups out there!

The tiramisu wasn't served in their classic jar probably because of COVID19 but it is still good! The thick dusting of cocoa powder definitely aided in the richness of the cake. The ratio of sponge to cream was essentially perfect, making the tiramisu close to perfect to indulge in.

Their carbonara was also great, but the portion might be too less to be a main meal. Since its not the niche of the restaurant, I'd leave it as it is. The truffle fries were served with a rich truffle aroma, and indeed, it was rich and coated with parmesan and truffle oil. It was intriguing, earthy and tastes just right.

Overall, we'd say that although it costed us $67.56, we were happy with the quality of the food we were served. We'd happily give it a rating of 8/10 for the food, but perhaps 7/10 for VFM! Definitely will be going back!

Astons Clarke Quay

well, astons is always known for being a VFM western food chain, especially if you're on a budget. but bonus for us this weekend! we were so tired after walking around and just wanted to settle for something quick around The Central. Most shops are closed, and we didn't want to spur on Chinese restaurants. As someone whove lived in Australia for quite some time, a plate like this is really costly. But this plate here with such a bonus scenery only costed us $12.90, of course, with the complete-the-meal set where there is an additional mushroom soup and a nice little juice.

For small eaters, you can simply get this plate of lemon lime chicken for $10.90. The best part of it is that it is inclusive of two side dishes, ranging from potato salad to Mac and cheese. The lemon lime chicken was grilled almost to perfection, it was tender, juicy and flavourful. The mac & cheese also tasted freshly made, richly in cheese.

For the mushroom soup, this is the real deal. It is creamy with lots of little pieces of mushrooms and tasted really mushroomy. It is coupled with a golden toasted bread that definitely seems crunchier than it looks.

Well, even though Astons is often known as the budget western restaurant to locals, this restaurant serves food that are definitely higher quality than to be called 'budget'!

Overall the dining experience and ambience were pleasant with a nice scenery out while having our meal, overlooking the river, constituting to the perfect afternoon. Priced at $12.90 for both the lime chicken and the mushroom soup inclusive of the drink, we'd give it a rate of 8/10 and conclude it to be very VFM!

SongFa Bak Kut Teh | Singapore | Habourfront

We came across this Bak Kut Teh chain while shopping. Props to the bf since he wanted BKT so badly. We ordered the pork rib soup, coupled with dough fritters and also the braised pork belly. The first taste was just beyond my expectation. The soup is peppery with an immensely rich flavour. The additional plus is that this store allows unlimited refills of their signature soup. We think we've had more than a kettle of refills haha. I proudly proclaim it as the best peppery BKT I've had, at least for now. Coupled with the dough fritters, once it is immersed in the soup, they still remain their crispness together with the soup. This was such a comfort for the stomach.

Their braised pork belly is worth a try too. The meat was tender, succulent and flavourful. Most importantly, it goes well with the soup. It might not be the best we've tried but it was still good. The overall ambience were also relaxing, simple, but authentic.

Over all for 2 pax we spent a total of $36. It came with 2 bowls of soup, 2 bowls of rice, dough fritters, braised pork belly and also 2 cups of drinks. We rate this at 8/10. Overall we think that it's really VFM and we'd definitely come back again! 😁
