Pichon French Restaurant and Bar

Took Advantage of the UOB 1-1 deal and booked ourselves a table almost a mth in advance!

When the day finally came, and we reached, the waitress asked for our name, and is able to recall who is on the reserved list today without checking any records! There is an outdoor dining area, a indoor pub and the 2nd floor has an indoor dining area too. Not so sure about the 3rd floor!

We had the set dinner, which is of 5 course, $65. We had an appettiser, a main, and a dessert. Ummm... and i thought its only 3 course, maybe the drinks counted too? Cos we had a perrier and coffee/tea.

While waiting for our food, we were served very nice mini french loafs. Or maybe you will call them jiam tao roti. They are delightfully crispy and hot! Their butter is also nice, with a milk after taste. Its not those packaged butter! I think while waiting for our meals, we had 3 servings of the nice bread=P

We ordered Escargot, duck salad and added on Goose liver! How can you not have them at a French Restaurant?

Escargot is nice, not soaked in olive oil like wat i had in Jack's place. The duck salad is not so bad. Goose Liver is delightful! Thick and creamy, just nice. THeir slices of apples are also very nice to go with.

Our mains - Ribeye steak And Traditional Duck.

The ribeye is just nice as a medium rare. Perfectly cooked. But i find the cut rather too thin. Would do better if its thicker and juicier!

My Duck.. oh mine, it doesn't taste like any duck you have at home or at coffee shop. I took my first bite , and the skin or rather Fats? melted in my mouth! Woooo! Melt in you mouth duck! The duck meat is rather salty after many many bites. You gotta eat with its skin/fats and the mashed potato to have a good blend.

Dessert is gorgeous... We had apple tart? and Choco Fondant. Nice! The chocolate is thick and slightly bitter and yet sweet! My Fave... THe apple is nice too... with a thin light crust. They all came with a scoop of ice cream...

Overall, being my first french food, I say its good! Thumbs Up! Quite different from normal western! But i find that not alot of ppl frequent. I think for that Sunday night, only 3 tables of guests! >.
