Dinner yesterday night at Poulet!
Have wanted to try this since it opened its branch at Bedok Mall, cause the decor looked so nice. I have been forewarned by Levon that it's disappointing though, but still felt like trying. :p
We went to the one at Bugis. :D
French restaurant = Eiffel Tower everywhere.
Cream of country mushroom. $5.80
In my eyes, this is the only wow factor here. Soup was smooth and velvety, with the right amount of slightly sweet cream and salty taste of mushrooms. Cause it's light even with the cream, it wasnt cloying at all.
French Onion soup. $5.80
Tried a little and it's also really good, a balance of slightly sweet and salty.
Served with chock full of caramelized onions.
Boss said halfway through that it's getting a tad too salty on his tongue though.
Braised Duck leg with Red Wine sauce. $15.80
Boss: tastes just like the usual braised duck from downstairs!
HAHAHAH the chef must be so sad. Or rather, the patrons' wallets are sadder cause for the same price, you get a whole duck or at least half at a hawker center. Here you only get the leg.
Okay la it was really tender, but just not wow.
Oh and there was no alcohol taste. At all.
Poulet Roti with orange sauce $17.80
The supposed star of Poulet, cause they are known for their roast chicken afterall.
I started with the thigh meat, which was throughly marinated and really tender.
The orange sauce was interesting so I liked it :D
But the breast meat. Um. Not exactly dry but not tender either.
Definitely have to pair it with the sauce to make it more palatable.
The chicken was paired with purple cabbage, which wasn't a good choice cause the cabbage soaked up a lot of the sauce, making it taste v sour.
And supposedly there's bacon in here but where art thou, bacon? Where?!
My extra $2 suddenly seems v bo hua.
Poulet Roti $15.80
Le original. Served with chardonnay mushroom sauce.
Bimb says no alcohol taste in this either.
Overall verdict?
We're not going back.
Super pricey for only mediocre food.
The star of the show didn't shine at all,
and it is just not that worth it to go back for the soup or desserts.
Serving wise also quite small, if I had my full glutton's appetite I doubt I would have felt full at all :/
Now, where to try next? :D
My dinner buddies for the night.
