After eating at saveur last week, the angmokia has been craving to eat at TFS since.. we didnt come for abt a year and he has such nostalgia abt france in this place.. small things like serving wine in a carafe (between a glass and bottle), having a bottle of water for u to refill your own glass on your table, the design of the place.. brings some fond memories to the homesick frenchboy. Anyway, he was making an excuse to come here to 'celebrate Bastille day"--the french national day. =)We took
After eating at saveur last week, the angmokia has been craving to eat at TFS since.. we didnt come for abt a year and he has such nostalgia abt france in this place.. small things like serving wine in a carafe (between a glass and bottle), having a bottle of water for u to refill your own glass on your table, the design of the place.. brings some fond memories to the homesick frenchboy. Anyway, he was making an excuse to come here to 'celebrate Bastille day"--the french national day. =)We took the 3 course meal which cost $36.80 each. I didnt really wanted dessert but he ordering just a main and a started would have cost arnd the same so i just went with it.
For me:
Starter- French Onion Soup- a little salty but still tasty nonetheless, and i like the fact that they put your cheese on toast on the side instead of dumping it into the soup before they serve you, leaving it soggy. This way i can enjoy the bread the way i like it.
Main- the boring me would just take fish since i dun really eat red meat or duck,. Not very worth it i would say. since i dun like mash too. But thats probably the best i could get for myself. I remembered years ago i love this signature dish of theirs which was a steamed dory patty scovering a whole lot of sauteed spinach under it.. was super good and healthy but its no longer on the menu. =( I wish they bring it back!
Desserts- Giant Profiterole! This is one of their signature.. the last time we came we had the cheese platter becoz we were too full for sinful desserts.. this time, since i was frustrated from my small mains i went ahead to order this. You really need to set aside calories for this if u r eating alone! I think the worse is actually the huge serving of vanilla icecream in it.. probably 2 good scoops of it.. but they melt really fast so eat it quickly! we really made a tasty mess of it!
For angmokia:
Starter: Pork pate. As u know i wouldnt say i like it.. was abit too raw porky smell and taste for me but look slike a perfect serving to start your meal with small gherkins and 2 slices of baguette
Mains: tenderloin was requested to be medium done but looked quite bloody for me. Angmokia knew this from past experience so it was exactly as he had expected. I tried the sauteed potatoes and it was fragrantly crispy on parts of it. I must prefer this to my mash!
Dessert: He took the chocolate cake and since they stated it was supposed to be dark chocolate i had some high expectations of it. The cake didnt quite meet my standards-- too light, too sweet.. and overwhelmed by the large scoop of vanilla ice cream.
The whole meal cost abt $100 ( i think they have increased quite a lot since we came the last time), abit heartache.. but as he said it.. "celebrate bastille day!"
