My colleague insisted to drive all the way here from Bukit Merah to lunch here. And we had to park pretty far away from the restaurant. I was tired and sweaty. BUT the quality of the food made it worthwhile. 
Everything was very nice! I agree with the previous reviewer, the presentation of the food is really nothing to shout about, but the food is good!
I love the sauce of the foie gras; the duck was very crispy on the skin, but the meat was soft and tender, unlike many places where the duck confit is dry and hard. And I have to salute the chef for her salmon steak, she was bold enough to have it just half cooked, it was almost like it melted in my mouth. The cream sauce of the chicken was.... creamy, but, not that creamy. I have no idea how they did it. My colleague licked his plate dry.
The desserts, creme brûlée and creme caramel, were also simple in presentation. I like the creme brûlée a lot. The texture was good, and the sweetness was just nice for me.
Overall, this place is recommended!

Me and my family members are fans of the duck confit here, which, is price at a mere $17.50 net. I have had my share of fancy restaurants which are obsessed with how their food look rather than how their food taste.

This place, they are not huge on presentation, but the food is delicious! Crispy duck skin, soft and tender duck flesh, served with a very flavourful down to earth sauce. It works perfectly compared to those fancy raspberry or orange sauce that other restaurants use.
The new dish: Garlic Crystal Prawns was also very very tasty. The white Wine sauce had the sweetness of the prawns, and the aroma of the white wine and garlics. Thumbs up!

slightly sourish and really really tasty, i absolutely loved it xD

the sirloin steak with french frites and salad ($15) was pretty good too. the taste of beef was slightly strong for my liking, but the meat was tender which was nice. and the horseradish mustard that came with it completely masked the strong taste, and made it absolutely lovely. the fries that came with it were delicious, probably because they were really salty
i guess once in a while won't kill! (:

the fillet of chicken with cepes and butter rice ($13) was really creamy and cheesy. absolutely rich with flavour, but too overwhelming, in my opinion.

i resisted trying the confit de canard with french frites ($16.50) because i wanted to reduce my intake of deep fried food! but i tried the sauce, and it was YUMMY. and according to the rest, the duck had a lovely crispy skin and soft meat, without being too oily. so if you come to this restaurant, go for it!


what was impressive at this restaurant was the service! it's a really tiny restaurant, inside only has three tables, and a couple more outside, and the cooking area is right next to the dining area with an open concept. the friendly chef comes out of the kitchen to greet all the guests and to enquire about their meal. i think it's really sweet (:

Dishes which you can only find here includes this Croissant with Escargots (13.50) which came in a satisfying portion despite being an entree. The fluffy warm bread stuffed with big fat chewy escargots was doused in that delicious mushroom garlic gravy! The idea of croissant with escargots is really a wonderful change to the usual garlic and butter type. I am really curious about the escargots here because they are one of the largest I have tried so far.

The Seared tuna steak with onion marmalade (14.50) was Iight dish which my old folks like. But I prefer those with more flavor like the fish from Saveur. The combination of bittersweet onion with fresh slightly raw tuna is quite odd but the wine infused rice was really fluffy and fragrant with accents of cheese.

The dessert selection was limited to the familiar Creme brûlée, opera and flourless chocolate cake all ranging between$4-$5. 50 cents cheaper with a main course ordered. Since I know this is my last time, I choose one that is the least common out of the rest. Surprisingly, the chocolate orange mousse cake was rich and outstanding. And at $3.50, it was the best steal of the day.

In short, the food especially the croissants escargots is worth trying if you ignore the bad service. If you visit the Serene Centre branch or come here for takeaway, you may be able to maximize the enjoyment of your food more!

Setting: A small, intimate indoor setting where you can have a good view of the chefs busy at work. There's a glass panel separating the dining area and the kitchen which the restaurant uses to list its daily specials comprising of soup of the day, appetizers and mains.

Reservations: Allowed so do place them.

Service: Good

Affordability: Good for french dining

Food:-

Can't go wrong with the duck confit, costing about S$16.50. The dish gives you a choice on fries or potato gratin - I prefer the gratin. The dish does not have any greens to go along it so if you want a balanced meal, I would suggest to order the salad with foie gras to complement your meal.

Butter rice and dory fish costing S$12.50 - fish tasted pretty flat and was not well seasoned. It lacked omph in taste.

A year ago, my dining companion tried the beef bourguignon with pasta (a daily special main) which wasn't good at all since pasta does not go well with a stew.

Creme Brulee for dessert at S$5.50 was a nice finish to the dinner though they could have torched the sugar a little longer. Still, credit given to the divine egg custard underneath.

Le Plat Principal (Main course) My order of a duck confit. Skin on, fried to a crisp with tender meat shielded from the frying. Now, the sauce however, wasn't too complimentary to the confit.

So I asked for some mustard and I was given a choice of three, in a quaint biscuit tin. I liked the tomato mustard the most. There was dijon which was too strong and another that was too sour. Of which, I promptly dismissed the name of. And what a pleasant surprise it was that the chef herself should appear at our table to enquire about the meal. It's these personal touches that make a world of difference in the service line and dining climate. And on that note, the number of tables probably count for ten, or a maximum of 15 at best hence the capacity for personal enquiries from the kitchen. But points for effort!


The other Le Plat Principal (Main course) was my friend's choice of steak and frites. Hmm. For its price, it was justified. But for its quality, let's just say there wouldn't be a repeat order of this.

foie gras w orange emulsion and fresh salad $18.50
the first ever time i tried foie gras (fattened duck liver) or known as the most popular delicacy French cuisine! The texture is a bit like fats but not sickening, soft inside like tofu and panfried till fragrant and crispy outside. The gravy given is very nice, with the orange peel skin and sauce that gives some fresh sourish taste on the foie gras, and create the appetizing feeling on me. The salad is very appetizing too, with sour dressing it is a really fascinating and awesome entree!

Potato leek soup $3.50
The soup of the day is potato leek soup and tomato soup and i ordered the potato leek. The soup is served in a shallow plate-like container which looks deep but very shallow only. So it also means that the soup portion is quite few and pathetics. the bread is a bit dry and hard but goes well with the soup.

Confit de carnade (comes with the gratin) $16.50
The duck leg steak is nice, they cooked till very soft and easy to chew on, and the gravy (brown sauce) is also very nice. The gratin is made up of sliced potatoes and cream and baked till golden colour with the cheese on top.

Sirloin steak $16.50
The sirloin is actually only two small pieces of meat that is panfried till a bit too over ad because it's too dry and not nice. The sauce given is only the mustard sauce so i think it's quite not sincere enough to serve it. And the frites are also too over cooked so it becomes quite soggy and oily.

La Petite Cuisine is a Restaurant serving French food in Thomson at very affordable prices. A meal for a family of 3 costs less than SGD40. And it doesn't scrimp on the quatity and the quality is commendable as well.Confit de canard aka Duck Confit (SGD16.50) with a side of potato gratin.

The duck was crisp and it was throughly fried throughout without drying out the meat. The duck meat was tender, juicy and the accompanying sauce wasn't too salty and complimented the dish.

A must try!

Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 The gratin was well baked, creamy and soft without being too dry. You can choose between the gratin and frites.Cheesy pasta with crabmeat

The pasta is al dente and there are generous chunks of crabmeat. Fresh and succulent, I am impressed with the freshness of the crabmeat. No stale nor fishy frozen crabmeat tasted here. The sauce is cheesy without being too rich.

Rating: 4.2 / 5.0

Dory fish with white wine butter and rice (SGD12.50)

The dory fish was fresh, flaky, and doesn't have any of the fishy / muddy water taste. It tasted slightly sweet and the sauce was slightly sourish and provided an contrasting zing to the buttery rice.

The portions are generous for that price.

Rating: 4.6 / 5.0
Creme caramel

It isn't the prettiest looking and smoothest creme caramel with all the air bubbles but it tasted pretty ok. Not the best but it was pretty palatable.

Rating: 2.8 / 5.0
Chef Janice is really friendly and she does all the cooking herself. You can observe her cooking and preparing in the open concept kitchen and all food are made ala minute. She makes a point to go to every table to ask if the food is to your liking. Kudos to her!

The service is quick and no frills - you place your orders at the cashier counter in the kitchen (cash terms only) and you've got to get your ice water from the water flask provided. You don't get fancy cutlery, cups (you drink out from a plastic cup) and table cloth (no crisp linen white table cloth here) but what you get is a cosy restaurant which serves great french food at affordable prices.

The place is tiny and can accomodate about 15-20 people inside and another 10 outside, reservations are highly recommended.

This is one of my favourite dishes from their food menu. Main reason for me to love this dish so much is the very fragrant butter rice that goes along with the fresh crunchy prawns. The rice is not at all soggy and the butter flavour really absorbed into the rice very fully. It is not too oily and even without any dishes to go along with it, it still taste very delicious too The creamy gravy also make this dish even more appetitizing too.
