French brunch at O'Batignolles Singapore

Don't we all love to have a brunch in the weekend?

I haven't had it in a while now and just last weekend I managed to go to one!

O'Batignolles is a Bar and a Restaurant located in Gemmill Lane (Club Street)

We ordered two set of Brunch A la Parisienne at a price of SGD29

The set comes with Two eggs with a choice of poached or scrambled

With bacon, english muffin and salad

French loves bread!

We also had a basket of bread:

Croissant, chocolate bread and baguette

With a choice of either coffee or tea (I had green rose jasmine tea)

It also comes with Orange Juice!

Ok! Here comes the comments...

I love how it makes you feel like you are in france

(Apart from the road side and humidity in Singapore)

I also love the preparation of the food

We had a pretty small table for two and it didn't fit the whole stuff on the table

First, they served the tea and juice and came a long the assorted bread

We didn't get to the finish line and they served the biggest plate

They could have waited for us to get the bread done...

It wasn't a big issue but something could have changed

We had both poached eggs

As you can see from the picture, the eggs weren't poached nicely

They were close to being cook 

The egg yolks were supposed to break and melt once you cut

But they were still and nothing ooze out

To our surprised, 2 sets of egg from my plate and my partner were the same

I only managed to finish just one...

My comments : If your bar serves mainly poached egg,

and if you served bad poached egg,

How do you want your customers to return?

I'm sure a lot of people would love to eat poached egg for brunch

I would love to return only when they have skillfully master how to make poached egg

Apart from that, it was all good :)

P.S: Would also preferred a different dressing for the salad ;)

All the best!

Wine Connection - Cheese Bar

How much do you like the new interior design of the new Wine Connection Cheese Bar at Robertson walk? What about the new machine to melt the cheese when you are having a raclette dinner?

I love the new concept with tons of  cheese on display in the fridge. There are so many but goat and blue cheese are my least favorite. Apart from the nicely decorated cheese in the bar, it is also a little more cozy compared to the previous one.

I mentioned about the machines, I was pretty unhappy with the inconvenient new machine they provided us. As you can see from the picture of the melting  cheese, we have to place a plate underneath and let it melt as you munch. They melted rather quickly! On top of the cheese that looks like a clip is the heater. They are very hot!!! Yes, I did not enjoy the new raclette concept. The old version was like a pan with mini tray like a pizza knife to allow you to place the cheese that was provided in thin pieces. Of course,  less heaty too!

Apart from that,  old raclette used to be free flow for the price of SGD 25++ and now SGD45++ without free flow. They boys were still hungry and  there goes the new *Menu*. FYI, one block of cheese is for 2 pax.

How do you like the new Wine Connection Cheese Bar?
