Tldr - when in doubt, order beef wellington!
The Festive Menu (79++) is available from 29 Nov to 25 Dec 2021, consists of 3-course meal. You can swap the main to beef wellington (which I recommend, after trying the turkey breast) for additional $55 (1 portion) or $109 (2 portions).
The seared scallop for starter was the best among 3 dishes I had, although it would be perfect if they did not overcooked the scallop.
The roasted turkey breast stuffed with chestnut and pigs in blanket was a bit disappointing. Plain and tough. Served with roasted vegetables which did not leave an impression.
The traditional Christmas pudding with brandy sauce was acceptable, but a bit too dry for my liking.
Overall, the Festive Menu did not exceed my expectation. Beef Wellington is still their best dish.
Missing Bali? This new bistro offers wide selections of Indonesian food with Bali’s hip ambience.
For those who are new to Indonesian food - can try this Chicken Crazy Fried Rice. The dish served on a wooden talenan (cutting board), with emping (melinjo chips) & lalapan (fresh salad). The chicken is super crispy yet juicy, reminding me of the Japanese chicken katsu. The fried rice is the brown style, cooked in sweet soysauce. Be careful when eating the chili, as it is considerably spicy even for Indonesian.
Other recommended dishes that deserve a shoutout are oxtail soup (sup buntut) & Balinese Satay. The oxtail is on the sweeter side and the beef is very tender and fatty. The Balinese pork satay is crispy and sweet, served with chili sauce.
My first time having lamb meat for hotpot in Singapore. The meat was cut in a bite-size 2x2 cm square, making it super easy to cook (just dip it for a few seconds). Totally recommend the signature lamb as they were super fatty and tender, which melted in your mouth.
The meatballs were mostly sold out so only managed to try the fishball with fish roe. It was okay but definitely want to try their other variant of seafood balls.
Not a big fan the soup. Tried the white original as suggested, since it is only available for dine-in while the other soup bases (mala, mushroom, tomato) are available in packets for take-out. The white soup taste like pepper bakut-teh soup, while the mushroom is a typical mushroom soup.
Additionally, they have free-flow condiments and cut fruits package for ($3).
The Christmas brews are here!
White Chocolate Brulee is for the sweet-tooth. Served with a butter cookie, the drink came with a thin layer of caramel brulee, with sweet coffee underneath.
Another option is the cold brew selection. This year we have 4 flavours - black, white, mocha, and matcha. The bottle is super cute and you can take it home for collectibles!
A good alternative for those on a coffee-diet. The tea was served in a pot with small and cute cups, suitable for sharing with friends.
The cafe itself is quite spacious with good ambience, making it a perfect work-from-cafe place! No wonder so many people brought their laptops here.
This is the place to satisfy your rosti craving without breaking your bank!
Ordered both the signature rosti with beef cubes ($12) and classic rosti with smoked salmon ($10). I personally like the smoked salmon better as the beef cubes were rather chewy and not as tender. For the rosti itself - crispy outside yet tender in the inside, creating a nice sensation while you et it warm. The portion itself is quite huge and I found myself finding it difficult to finish.
For a twist, add on mozarella cheese on your rosti - but this only works for dine-in customers, as the seller don’t recommend it for take-out as the rosti may get soggy.
Jiggly pancake topped with cheese foam and strawberry sauces!
Looks wise is very instagrammable, as it can do the “jiggle-jiggle” effect when you give a soft nudge. The pancake has airy texture and not overly sweet. Don’t really like the cheese foam as it lacks consistency and doesn’t mesh well with the sweet pancake (this might be bias as I generally don’t like cheese foam). The strawberry sauce gives sweet sensation with a little hinge of tangy flavour. What I like the most is they give fresh strawberries which were yum!
Portion is ideal for two people - perfect dessert choice after having a dinner in Jurong East area
Longtime favourite
The green tea mille crepe consists of at least twenty layers of thin and delicate crepes, enveloping fresh white cream infused with matcha powders.
Personally love this flavour as it is not overly sweet.
Too dry and too little salmon. The penne was baked with tomato sauce and served with shaved cheddar with some hidden some salmon cubes. However, the overall dish was too dry so definitely would not go back here when I am craving for comfort food.
The menu selection ranges from local favourites, western, chinese, and italian.
Ordered teriyaki fuyung egg with angus sirloin and it comes with 2 side dishes of the day (curry puffs & small green veggie). The portion is quite big; however, the combination is a little bit random, especially the curry puff (looks like samosa). The teriyaki fuyung egg is okay; the angus sirloin is quite nice.
Overall taste is okay; however the service is slow.
The iconic Patisserie G’s cake ($9.5)
Dark chocolate mousse, chocolate meringue, dark chocolate hazelnut praline feuilletine.
Sleek mini-dome with a drop of golden leaf - extremely pretty and elegant look.
Taste wise is very chocolatey… I like the dark choco mousse yet not a fond of the “nutty” flavour as they are using hazelnut praline feuilletine. Texture not bad as the cake combines both creamy and crunchy elements so it becomes less monotone.
Other cakes are also instagrammable, which ideal to be the go-to place for high-tea with your girl gang!
Available in the 18-cm whole cake version as well.
The main star of the dish is the mouth-watering braised pork! Tasty and tender, you can truly feel the umami taste from the pork juice. Served with white rice, Japanese egg, cucumber and mushrooms.
