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.
