Had french food (nah, not french fries) for the past 2 days or rather food from french-themed cafes. If they are of any standard of what real french food tastes like, I think I shall stick to my instant noodles. Hmm actually they aren't bad, just not what I expected of french food.

TO the bukit timah regulars:
Aha!! Didn't know that there's a small french cafe in the place of the old Island Cremery?

The food are priced at an average of $10, with free bread thrown in. Nice place to chill out(for small groups) with the music playing in the background. I didn't really like their soups~ not what I expected. The rice are quite special with cheese (I think) mixed in the rice. Try the pastas at your own risk! They are quite bland. But as my friend puts it: maybe it's the french pasta. (really?)

Anyway, this is what I had: Chicken Mozella (or something like that). They are alright. I had expected something more because the friend highly recommended the cafe. The menu had some french words that I had to ask what some of the dishes are. *sheesh*

Their service can be much improved though. Firstly, they asked to hold on to our change because they don't have the exact change. ok sure.. However, they (or at least she) didn't remember until we went to ask her about it. Next, my friend really liked their rice alot so she made a special order to change the pasta to the rice. Guess what? When her dish came, it was still pasta. When she asked about it, she (yes, the same person) was like "oh, they (the chef) must have make the mistake." Then she looked at us, waiting for us to make do with the mistake. The most basic thing she could have done was to make an offer to change it. BIG F for service.

It was another story when I went to this Madeleine French Cafe in liang court. The boss and staff were more than friendly. To be fair, the food is edible but is not worth for its price & the menu is limited in choices. Oh, & we seem to be the only customers there.

My friend claimed this is how she cooked her pasta at home.So she ordered crepe.

Erhm.. french-styled prata?

Lately, I haven't really enjoyed food as I thought I would. Perhaps, my craving is for nonya food.
