Marché Mövenpick (Raffles City)

Nice place with great ambiance and service. Though the previous dining style is much preferred due to the variety of dishes we can choose from, this style of a bistro is a good change as now we have more service and attention. Well attention was not easy to grab as this location is mostly crowded even on weekday eves, however getting a seat is not difficult as the restaurant is spacious with a good layout with little wasted space.

The menu was a little sad looking as compared for the reputation Marche has built through the years with my favorite Rosti nowhere to be found however, the Pork Knuckles and many infamous dishes were maintained. So we look through the huge one page menu and decided upon a few yummy dishes.

1) We had lemonade for drinks as home-made lemonade seemed like a good opener for all the oily food we are to consume next. Lemonade was of a good citrus mix and was proven to be a good choice.

2) Bacon with Figs in a honey mustard sauce was yummy but in a small portion. We practically popped them into our mouths in one go and it disappeared. This dish was addictive as the savory bacon skwered with the sweetish red dates was a heavenly combination, not forgetting the a good dose of the honey mustard sauce.. oh well, it was a generous bowl of more honey than mustard combi... as from this point onwards, everything goes into this dip.

3) The pizza was rather regular... sauce and hand-rolled base has no "WoW" effect, while the toppings were just not exciting. Its comfort food for us and well the portion was good... they managed to slice it into 10 pieces of squarish looking sizes that are easy to handle.

4) Roast Pork was yummy... came in a bed of mash and some greens drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The crispy skin crackles underneath my teeth and the soft meat tempted me not to stop. It was pretty good i must say.

Well dessert looks interesting and pancakes I will not fail to try them out the next time round... Love the ambiance and well price was pretty average for the environment and the location. Portion was okay for mains but tiny for appetizer... Would love a better selection of beer and wines.
