It's been a year or so since my last visit to The French Window ... it was a very different dining experience this round. Taking a day off and accompanying my good friend from Singapore, I picked this place with gorgeous harbourview for a decent lunch together. There are black and white framed pix which has made thr place more stylish yet with touch of Paris. Maybe they are focusing on vivid cocktails too ; the long bar with high ceiling turns the restaurant into a chic setting with tasteful re
It turned out to be very satisfying ... too bad my phone camera hasn't been working lately but I must give a thumb up to their lamb rack!! The aroma was really enticing once the server opened that le crueset pot ... Just in love with that sophisticated taste! The lamb texture was very tender and juicy and it has just reached that point between raw and done. Its aroma was with some grassy refreshing smell which made the lamb extraordinary. It even attracted my friend to give it a try even though lamb is not her cup of tea. The dish itself was colourful with the colourful radish and greens. My friend has ordered duck confit!! I would say the potatoes have impressed us the most since they were having characters in the taste. The Essenes of the duck confit went well with the potatoes and made them extra yummy. Certainly, the duck confit was at their quality but in fact it was in a quite large portion as lunch. Since there were just 2 of us for lunch, we decided to come back another time for their mussels and seafood platter!! This new French Window is def a fab place for party with the shared portion!! The server also mentioned about their bottomless champagne Sundy Brunch ... makes me kinda look forward to schedule for it given the high quality of food and service. I guess it might be a good pick for Dec's gathering peak month!
A good meal ended with nice desserts and it didn't disappoint us. Our pick was the Apple Tart! It was very crispy and the apple flavour was not overhelmed... Very refreshing and nice to be accompanied with ice cream. The almond was a perfect match to it too. It made the whole dessert more surprising as it balanced the sweetsour taste from the apple. U know what - just felt like cloud nine indeed.
