[CLOSED] Laurent at Portsdown

The place is rather isolated on its own, located along Portsdown Road. Had dinner there and their signature drinks is good! Love the refreshing taste which is not too sweet. Good for a place to relax

Getting my fix of restaurant week on the last day, taking a trip to the outskirts of Portsdown Road to check out Laurent Cafe. Laurent is a chocolatier and their shop in Portsdown branches out as a French Cafe.

Their set menu for restaurant week comes with a 3 course meal going at $25++, and here we have the Duck Leg Confit with Roasted Potatoes and Onion jus. The duck leg was soft and tender, and the taste of the duck was able to shine with light seasoning. However, my only gripe was that it was slightly bloody at the bone. The entire meal was very filling for one person as there was an appetizer (salad or lobster bisque) and a dessert (strawberry ice cream meringue) so overall it was a really affordable and pleasant lunch set.

P.S. The hot chocolate here is really good and gao!!

Heartiness (portion): 5/5
Tastiness (product): 3/5
Worthiness (price): 4/5
Ambience: a nice retreat in the outskirts of Portsdown amongst Wessex Estate, with colonial architecture and design. A lovely place to chill out and have a nice date, especially at night :)

featured here is pure, one of their best sellers. rich, smooth and not too bitter for dark chocolate. slightly pricey, but i would probably come back to treat myself to other cakes once in a while. they serve up main courses too!

Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit, Lime juice, Brown sugar, Soda. ( small : $9.50++, large : $16++) A light and refreshing lemonade with so much fruit in it. Interesting.

The most well known dessert in this place. After so many years, it still tastes so smooth with crunchy base.

The salad is fresh and the anchovies are well pickled not too salty.
