We were the first customer of the restaurant as we are going for a concert at VCH. Luxury of having the whole restuarant to ourselves for a while. 


We ordered the set meal for the night, price reasonable $58++ with surcharge for Entrecote and Bouillabaisse.

The set include soup (2 choices), main course (2 choices) & dessert (chocolate thingy)

My wife and I just ordered all 



Soup
Mine was cream of wild mushroom. There's plenty of mushroom, but the soup has too much cream. So the soup is very thick & the heavy cream over power the taste of the soup itself. 

Bouillabaisse taste different than what I had from other French restaurants. I didn't catch the Saffron taste as I expect. It does have a hint of fish, shellfish. Seafood portion is ok considering the size of the soup.

Main Course
Black Cod was good. Cook to the right doneness. Overall taste good.

Entrecote was ok. The carrot puree was very good. The scalloped potato au gratin was under cook. The potato is still crunchy. The cream sauce could be thicker. Taste is ok. The Entrecote is cooked medium rare. Luckily I am ok with that as the waiter did not check with me when ordered. The meat is quite dry despite the beef was cooked correctly. My guess is the cut is not the Entrecote but other leaner cut. I had Entrecote quite often and they usually quite juicy. So this is dish is a slight disappointment.

Dessert is ok. Basically chocolate ice cream + juice sherbet + few berries. Standard.

My overall impression is OK, not as good as reported. May be we are too early? 

Note: If the Set Menu is not impressive (same dishes also appear in Ala Carte menu), why should I come back for more? A set menu is a window to showcase a restaurant potential capabilities.

Shaped like a magnificent three-storey, stately ship that is permanently docked, Boathouse Fullerton looks interesting from the outside and offers diners great views from the inside as well.
Interior-wise, this place offers a quaint and intimate ambience in a beautiful setting of rich browns and elegant chandeliers. Besides the sophisticated decor that gives diners a sense of happiness, the service crew provided rather immaculate service as well. This place prides itself on bringing French dining to a new height.
For lunch, they only have set meals. We chose the three-course sets.
Appetizer was the Crabe - marinated blue crab, smoked tomato coulis and crispy herb tuile. The blue crab paste was very sumptuous, redolent of the sweetness of fresh crab. Eaten with the cheese-like crispy triangles of tuile, this appetiser leaves one longing for more.
Our Main Course was the Roeuf - rib eye, fine mashed potato, heirloom carrots and bordelaise sauce. The beef was rather tender (we asked for medium rare) and slightly chewy, juicy. The mashed potato was so fine and tasty we thought it was some kind of cream initially.
Finally, time for Desserts. We shared the L'Orange - orange and chocolate meringue rock, crumbles and orange granite. As meringue goes, the dessert crumbled into the mouth and dissolved easily, but it was a little too sweet, in my opinion. While the orange flavor was quite promiment, I thought that the white chocolate somewhat obliterated the orange's citrus flavor; I prefer orange desserts made with dark chocolate as the contrast is better.

For my main course i had this really yummy pan roasted Atlantic sea bass $32! There was some seafood underneath it and the cauliflower puree just created a very nice overall taste. I enjoyed every bit of it! Fish was very fresh too!

Overall it was a great experience and i will love to go back again.

i love sunday brunch! it's just the awesome relaxing feel of Sunday that makes you want to laze around and combine two great meals in one (: and the sunday brunch at boathouse is definitely a decadent way to kickstart this beautiful day.

i love bread. i love pastries. omg. i love it when restaurants serve it at the beginning of a meal. i always have to resist wolfing down a whole lot of carbo before my meal actually starts, but it's so difficult! i simply love it. as always, i liked the croissants best. there is just something so classy about eating them haha. crisp and yummy (: there were also a bunch of tasty rolls, as well as some bread. i wasn't very impressed with the bread though. compared to the pastries, they were rather average.

boathouse has a brunch special which is priced at $48++ per person. it comes with the bread & pastry basket as mentioned above, as well as a choice of salad or soup (hors d'oeuvres), eggs or pancakes (main course), dessert or cheese trolley, coffee or tea, and fresh juice. it was absolutely delicious and i think it was worth every cent (:

my mom chose the grilled asparagus salad (a la carte price: $25) which had pancetta stresa, cheese smoothie, and was covered with walnut truffle viniagrette. the asparagus was beautifully grilled and had a lovely flavour. the accompanying cheese smoothie was light and airy, and come to think of it, it did feel as if i was 'eating air' haha.

the creameaux of cauliflower (a la carte price: $19) which my dad ordered had to be the MOST DELICIOUS SOUP i've ever tasted!!! I absolutely loved it. a thick rich soup with scallops that melted in my mouth and the burst of the flavour of caviar when i bit into the little rounds just made it such a wonderful dish.

the bread and appetizers were already so awesome. it just made us keep wanting more, more, MORE! (: the mains didn't disappoint either (: the apple pancake ($18) was topped with a generous serving of sweet apple compote and raisins, and listen to this, there were FOUR pancakes. which restaurant ever serves four pancakes?
i was completely blown away. perfect for sharing! ;) it came with maple syrup and...if i'm not wrong, creme fraiche!
i do hope i'm right. it was a light cream with a tinge of sourness. interesting, although i felt that it didn't really go with the pancake. also, we did wish that the pancakes were a little fluffier, since they were kinda thin. but they were tasty anyway! (:

for the first time, the egg benedict ($18) didn't belong to me!
hahaha. i'm such a fan of it, that now i've become quite picky about the quality. and i have to say that i felt the egg benedict here was not that great. the poached egg was wonderful, gorgeously poached. however, the bread was a teeny bit tough, not like the crispy brioche or soft muffin that is usually served. this was kind of in the middle, so not that great.

the caramalized banana pancake ($18) was really sweet!!! and i loved it haha. especially with the nutella sauce that came with it! can't go wrong ;)

my sister ordered the slowly cooked sunny side up ($15). the egg was nice and wobbly and i loved the ratte potato that came with it (:

i had the oven baked egg cocotte ($15) which was a really rich bacon leek fondue, with a fluffy egg and truffle emulsion!! it was a deliciously fragrant dish which i loved. but don't try to finish it on your own. i shared quite a bit of it, nearly half, and it was just right xD

for the brunch special, my mom ordered the chocolate (a la carte price: $15) for her dessert. simple as that. it was just different kinds of chocolate. haha. dark and white, with a pile of caramlised bananas and cocoa ice cream

i pestered my dad into ordering the cheese platter (a la carte price: $23). it was quite interesting! three types of cheeses, i couldn't catch the names (but i know there was one goat's cheese which i refused to touch) and it came with crackers by the side. mmmmm delicious! (:

i declare this the best brunch i've ever eater

Was given a chance to visit Boathouse during Valentines Day, and it was what I have been longing from a long time. Their set meal for a couple costed about $209, lasting for a 3 course meal.

Wanted to get the indoor seating as it seems to be more classy and has a more pretty decor, but due to full seating, we had no choice but to head to the outdoor seats. Hence, photos are quite bad due to poor lighting condition.

First course options are Huitre, and Canard. The former is actually a soup based appetizer and soup texture is rather smooth! The latter is a salad type having duck confit in it, which is savory!

Second course options are boeuf, and saumon. The former highlights the beef, which is soft and chewy, quite to my liking. The latter highlights the pan-roasted salmon. Salmon is soft, and not overcooked, compact and juicy!

The third course options are myrtille, and le'ispahan. The former is more on blueberry flavor. Blueberry chessecake, blueberry muffin ice cream... And it's simply too yummy. Blueberry cravers should not miss this! The latter is less favorable than the former. Le'ispahan has rose &lychee tiramisu, raspberry coulis. Rose taste is too overwhelming, and making the whole dessert a little weird in taste. Unable to finish the le'ispahan, nd having a look round, most tables left this dessert unfinished.

Overall, service was good, and crew was very polite to diners though they were busy running here and there due to the crowd. Ambience is rather cosy if not for the crowd. Wouldn't mind heading there again but provided I get an indoor seating to fully enjoy the dining experience!

Dinner at Boathouse, intimate and quaint French restaurant at Fullerton Water Boat House. The 3 course dinner cost $55++ per pax which is a steal for a fine dining restaurant, thanks to Restaurant Week a few months back.

There are 2 seatings during Restaurant week, we went for the 2nd seating. We were slightly early, so a staff lead us to the rooftop bar, Prelude, for pre-dinner drinks

When the first batch of diners left, staff were quick to inform us that we could enter the restaurant. We were seated promptly but a very shagged looking waiter, but nevertheless, still provided excellent service.

All 3 courses were fantastic but their breads was nothing to shout about.

I was thrilled when I got a call from Openrice and was notified that I had won first prize for for a brunch for two at Fullerton Boathouse on Christmas. I have never won first prize in my life hence I was really excited. I decided to share this special brunch with my mum on Christmas. We arrived 30mins earlier for the brunch and it looked like the restaurant had just been opened. Despite being early, we were kindly escorted in and shown to our seats. We were also offered beverages while waiting.

I informed the restaurant we were vegetarians and they kindly accommodated to us by changing to a menu that suited us. It was a four course brunch and the restaurant was almost empty excluding a Caucasian family of three who was having brunch as well.

1st course: We started off with the appetizer which was a colorful & nutritious salad

2nd course: Pumpkin tart which was surprisingly delicious. The pumpkin was coated with brown sugar which made it sweet (tasted nothing like pumpkin) and the crust was warm. It had a very homely touch to it which made it perfect for the occasion.

I went to boathouse for this wonderful meal with my girlfriend. the ambience is really relaxing. I ordered their grilled fish, it was served on top of this gravy. The gravy is really tasty, it actually brings out the flavour of the fish and not overpowering the flavour. The fish is so fresh, you can simply taste the sweetness of the fish.

For me, Boathouse Restaurant is a great place to eat when you are a tourist in Singapore. The location is just ideal when you want to take in the beauty of the country before the modern buildings and sky scrapers that dominate the city.

For me, Boathouse Restaurant is a great place to eat when you are a tourist in Singapore. The location is just ideal when you want to take in the beauty of the country before the modern buildings and sky scrapers that dominate the city.

The restaurant is located at the Waterboat house, just behind the Fullerton Hotel, which used to be Singapore's post office. From a distance, you can catch a glimpse of the merlion as well as the Singapore river, which once served as a port.

Now, going back to the food. Boathouse may seem like a a fancy-pansy dining place but I was surprised that food there was affordable. Lunch sets go for as low as $32++. I didn't order the set lunch though, just a few dishes that my friend and I shared. For appetizer, we had the Spanish Mackerel. I love the freshness of the fish and I think it was genius that it was topped with just the freshest veggies I tasted.

Main course was the Full-Blood Wagyu. I noticed how the chef used the same herbs as the appetizer, but nonetheless, it was still tasty. Meat was soft and chewy, and it was complemented very well with the passionfruit.

Our dessert was the Australian Black Figs.The figs was a bit rough but soft, if you get what I mean. I liked the thin wafer with confectioner's sugar that the chef added. Yummy! Will definitely come back here should I have friends visiting me in Singapore.

My favourite (relatively) out of the 4 is the Signature Tiramisu ($12++) made with lots of whiskey. I like tiramisu with a strong liquor kick so this delivered! But the balance of mascarpone cheese (too much) and soaked ladyfingers was disproportionate.

I’m never into Panna Cotta ($11++) because it’s usually too creamy after a few bites so I don’t have high expectation for it. This is not bad if you are into the softer-than-tofu variety.

The shocker came when the Baked Apple Tart ($12++) was served. It’s incredibly tiny, I kid you not. Put your forefinger and thumb together to make a circle now. You got it, that’s the approximate size of the tart mini tartlet. To pay $12++ is daylight robbery so not worth it! And it didn’t even taste good to justify the hefty price tag in the first place.

Creme Brulee ($15++) is your traditional custard caramel infused with lemon verbena so it’s more tangy than sweet. The shot of licorice reduction by the side is meant to clear your palette but it’s superfluous since it’s tasteless. So it serves the same purpose as the glass of ice water? No offence, I may sound harsh but I don’t mince my words.
