Symmetry Cafe / Restaurant Review | Bugis

It's my first time and I'm so glad I came here for a Monday lunch. This cozy cafe by day and restaurant by night serves up great tasting meals and seats around 30 pax at the most, including outdoor seating. It was almost full house even when we arrived at 2.30pm. The friendly staff there appeared laid back as they donned t-shirts, shorts and sneakers, giving this place a chill-out vibe. A great place to be on a Sunday for brunch I'd say. 

Anyhow, my girl friend and I ordered  their Smoked Salmon Carbonara ($18++)  and Truffle Fries($13++). 


Truffle Fries with Mayo

Smoked Salmon Carbonara with Poached Egg and Mushrooms
 The poached egg in the pasta oozes! 

We were amazed by the freshness of the ingredients !  I really liked the truffle fries, they did use quite a lot of truffle there I must say, and the same goes for the smoked salmon.  I wished they gave a tad more pasta, though. Thankfully, the generous serving of fries did fill us up.

I will be back for their crisp golden yellow truffle fries!

Poulèt @ Bedok Mall B2

Hello!

Thanks for dropping by to read this next post :) 


I'm really excited to share with you about Poulèt, Singapore's First french casual dining restaurant chain. 

Poulèt (poo-lay).is a French word and it means Chicken. That is why you'll notice that the restaurant's logo has a rooster's comb on top of the letter 'e'. 


Anyway, I was in Bedok and I just wanted to try something interesting and an Eiffel tower came to mind and I thought of Poulet. I 've seen this French- themed restaurant in  other malls and I've always wanted to give it a try and so yesterday, my friend and I did! 

 We tried 3 items on their menu. 



The first was their Sautéed wild mushrooms. 

The mushrooms were really good!! There was also a big round egg sitting in the middle. When i poked it gently with my fork, it was so bouncy like you know thatcertain kind of fish ball. In fact,  I was soooo tempted to burst it to see the egg yolk ooze out and I did! Cheap thrill lol 

Anyway, I really liked this dish and if i ever get to cook it , I would try it with an Asian twist and add chilli padi into my recipe:P




Next, we ordered their Chicken &Fig Marmalade Sandwich as well as their Smith Chicken & Egg Mayo Chicken Sandwich. Both were served with lightly-salted  thick golden yellow straight-cut fries on wooden chopping boards. 

                                                    


I found that the Fig Marmalade complemented the large portion of creamy chicken slices. I also liked the croissant which was baked to perfection- crusty and buttery. Tomatoes and lettuce sandwiched in-between were fresh. The hot fries really filled me up. Overall, I really like this item. 


                                      
   

Likewise, the Smith Chicken & Egg Mayo Sandwich was also well made, but unlike the previous one, it took on a creamier note due to the mayo.



By this time, both our bellies were almost filled to the brim and an attempt to take on their dessert  would have caused our stomachs to erupt..I'm not kidding... that was how filling their items were.  



Verdict: It was definitely a worth the money for the food. The 2 of us spent only $25 altogether to satisfy our palettes and tummies. Service wise, I thought the staff could have been a tad friendlier :)
