Profiteroles - homemade choux bun filled with vanilla ice cream, drenched with warm chocolate sauce and crispy almond flakes. These were probably the best profiteroles I’ve ever had! The choux puffs were delightfully light and crisp, the chocolate sauce was rich but not too cloying... I could go on and on. Bottom line is, this bistro is amazing.

Pan-seared onglet with shallots and garlic confit, served with French fries - we had this as part of their lunch set menu ($38), which is really value for money for the high quality of food they deliver. The beef was so tender and soft! We were gushing about it with every bite. Even the fries on the side were done fresh and crisp.

So creamy and delightful! We enjoyed every spoon of it and it was gone in no time. The French really do know how to make simple dishes shine, and Le Bistro du Sommelier really takes me back to two months ago when I was in Paris.

We spread it over fresh warm baguette slices they provided, and the duck tasted so, so rich. The portion given was generous enough as well. We loved it so much that we polished the plate clean. Will be back to try more of their starters, and I expect that they will be exceedingly good as well!

We had two cups of hot flat white with burpple beyond’s one for one. The coffee was fragrant and slightly nutty, but not as strong as I would like - although it’s most likely a personal preference, as I prefer my coffee strong, with a good kick. I’d recommend dropping by for a cup of coffee here if you find yourself in town - it’s really worth it with burpple beyond!

This iberico pork was cooked to perfection. Each slice was juicy and tender, and flavoured just lightly enough so that we could taste the sweetness of the pork itself. It was paired with a small portion of mash and red peppers. Such a great set lunch - we will be back!

Such a great main on their set lunch menu. The beef was so tender and soft, and the sauce was rich and flavourful. Probably one of the best beef cheeks I’ve had in Singapore at a wallet-friendly price.

Having just returned from Barcelona about a month ago, I had my fill of Spanish tapas, including delicious iberico and croquettes there. However, the mushroom croquettes here were really good, and exceeded my expectations. These two (chorizo iberico on toast & mushroom croquettes) were our chosen starters for their weekday set lunch.

I’ve heard so much about Nantsuttei being one of the best ramens in Singapore and I finally got to try it. It was extremely value for money and I though the prices were really affordable here! The noodles were of a perfect texture and consistency as well, and the soup was pretty rich too. What really disappointed me was the chashu, which was thin, bland and dry. Overall, definitely worth a try and a really affordable meal in town.

I actually really enjoyed this dessert, made really value for money with burpple 1-for-1. The creme brûlée on top was perfectly done! It was crispy and torched to just the right amount, and the milk soft serve was pretty decent too (but not mindblowing, compared to the brûlée layer). With burpple beyond, this is really worth a shot.

Queued 1 hour and 15 minutes for this on a Thursday evening (what?) and it was still hands down the best Hokkien Mee I’ve had in my life (so far). The broth/gravy was so, so flavourful, filled with the rich prawn flavour and the noodles were perfectly done with a strong wok-hei flavour. The prawns were so fresh that they tasted sweet! The chilli is not bad too, but I wouldn’t say it was spicy enough for my chilli-loving taste buds. Do give this a try! Well worth the Michelin recommendation.

Green asparagus, black truffle cream, jamón ibérico, manchego - I was extremely disappointed by this truffle pizza. It was the most expensive pizza on the menu ($38), but the truffle taste wasn’t even discernible. The portions of iberico were so measly as well, covering less than half of each pizza slice. Definitely not worth $38 - Blue Label, you can do better.
