Poulét. Casual French Dining

Today is just another usual Sunday. If there's anything special about this Sunday, it's the 15th Jan on the Lunar calendar "元宵节", the last day of Chinese New Year. We're ending Chinese New Year already, "let's have some good food for the day!". After the Sunday service, we went to Bugis+ nearby for an early lunch. We popped on to Poulét, Amazing French Roast Chicken, which I have been longing to try. We were there 12 noon and able to avoid a queue.



Well, French dining is always at the side of more pricey range of food (at least to my knowledge :p). Poulét being the first French casual dining concept in Singapore, I must not miss it. Poulét has been there for about half a year. From what I observed, it's now quite a popular bistro. Fusing local ingredients with classic French cooking techniques, Poulét caters to the mass with affordable fare.



Greens are my must-have for meals, so we had Salad de Paris. I loved it topped with dried cranberry and pine nuts, enriching the texture and flavour. It's overall, a creamy French-dressed salad! I'm not very comfortable with snails, or eating snails. However, simply because of my belief that Escargot is a never-missed appertiser in French dining, I just had to try. Its chewy texture was much like abalone. I liked the tomato fondue and garlic butter very much, yet I just wasn't able to convince myself to enjoy chewing snails wholeheartedly.



My first main course at Poulét was of course their star dish Rotisserie Poulét Roti. Its home-made mushroom chardonnay sauce had a very creamy milky taste. It's delicious but a bit greasy. Our first dining experience there was made-complete by the Tiramisu. The jar of mascorpone cheese and soaked sponge was indeed very filling.
