Pariterole ($32)
Basically what you'd expect from choux puff, stuffed with vanilla cream, and molten chocolate poured over it.
Personally thought mains > desserts, and we felt certain dishes weren't really worth its price, altho the service was pretty good and experience was still great overall. (~$131 per pax excl. drinks)
île Flottante ($22)
Pink Praline, Hazelnut, Pistachio, Creme Anglaise. Vanilla custard flows out when you cut it, but to describe its taste in the simplest way possible, it's basically froot loops with marshmallow.
Whole Roasted Brittany Pigeon ($68)
Tbh another interesting experience because it's my first time eating pigeon? It has a slightly gamey taste that low-key reminded of pork liver, and the texture is different from most other meat. Feels slightly denser (?) but can't put my finger on what it's exactly similar to.
Mains:
Steak Tartare A La Parisienne ($52)
First time trying steak tartare and this was q interesting? You could pick the spice level you want, and mustard flavour was q evident here. Comes with side of fries & salad.
To Share:
Claudine 'Bouillabaisse' ($178)
We were taught how to eat this - crouton as base, spread saffron rouille (sauce) on top, add your favourite seafood, then pour their stock/ broth over. This was overall really strong in the prawn flavour.
🌟 Chou Farci ($98)
My favourite dish that night. Absolutely loved the rich pork jus that was poured over this dish, and the addition of croutons just made it even better. Despite it being just slightly gamey from the foie gras, I still really loved how everything came together so well. NGL it reminded of Ngoh Hiang, but I loved this dish.
Organic Egg Forestiere ($28)
Q a forgettable dish - sauce wasn't amazing, and the egg was similar to scotch egg, except w/o the meat filling.
🌟 Complimentary bread
Their bread was so good we had like 2-3 large pieces each?? It came with Iberico bacon butter which paired so well with the extremely crispy sourdough bread that's also slightly chewy within.
You might not have heard of @claudinerestaurant, but you probably would know its "sister restaurant" @odetterestaurant, but with food by headchef @mercier_julien here instead.
To start:
Hokkaido Uni Pasta ($58)
This came in such a small portion, but I honestly really liked it! The uni made it really creamy, and flavour was pretty good - altho I'm not sure if it's actly worth this price.
