The place has a family ambience but also resembled a small art cafe as the paintings of French scenery and cuisine hung around the wall, which seems like a totally different world from the chicken rice shop two doors away. |
| egg and emmental cheese ($14.80) |
Stephan favourite ($19.80) is a galette filled with roasted chicken, wholegrain mustard and caramelised onions. Galette refers to a savoury crepe made with buckwheat flour. The ones here are organic and unsweetened, good for those who are especially health conscious!
For those who can't go without meat but wants some cheese as well, the Brehat ($18.90) = egg + emmental cheese + ham might satisfy the meat lust.....just a little bit.
The Entrenous ($20.80) is an avocado with shrimp, tomatoes combination which is very tasty as the green paste is not simply pureed avocado but blended with garlic and cream. Lightly salted, those who avoid avocados should try this as it is not too buttery.
La Arz $20.40 was the most outstanding looking crepe of that day because it was the only crepe whose fillings are layered on top and not wrapped within.
Smoked salmon, chives creme Fraiche and lemon......the chemistry between the four ingredients is just more than romance.
Glenan ($14.90) is another sweet crepe filled with nothing but drizzled with maple syrup and sweet coconut flakes. Was attracted to the salted butter caramel ice cream since it is their signature item (they even sell them in takeaway jars!) but the ice cream was too sweet to our liking. Surprisingly, this taste like Malay coconut kueh with aromatic coconut fragrance.
This French house attracts many office workers during weekdays but we were glad we went on a Sunday afternoon when the place is not too crowded and perfect for chilling out with friends. As you might have noticed, many of the items are named after the owner and his family. I guessed this is one adept expression of how chef-owners translate their passion for life into their food.
