I have always wanted to come here but couldn't find it.
Fate brought me here again after spate of French meals recently.
On New's year eve I did not want to dine at restaurants where they had obviously pumped up the prices because it was NYE.
I had a place in mind where you would not expect their prices to go up but as I was wandering I noticed this yellow shop which I did not notice before.
I have walked past it so many times and missed it.
Anyway went in and discovered it was a mini French grocery shop selling cheeses, baguettes and you can even order food and dine there.
The chewing gum that you can buy in France can be bought here!!
Huge selection of quiches, cheeses, hams, drinks and desserts~
Quiches galore!!
For food, the meals not including drinks or soups were about $55-65 which is an amazingly deal compared to other French dos.
While I sat there, there were so many French expats coming and going for French groceries.
The hot seller were the baguettes and cheeses which is their staple food!
NOW YOU SEE IT
NOW YOU DON'T!! Gone within 10 minutes!~
The owner is really NICE and GOOD LOOKING just as the review says~~
Here was what I had!!
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Fish in creamy white sauce:
The fish was succulent and flakey covered in creamy sauce.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Spinach and feta quiche:
The quiche selection was annoying because there were too many to choose from and the size of each quiche was HUGE!! About the size of a brick!!
It was loaded with spinach and flavoured by the cheesy crumbly feta.

Fries:
The fries were a bit disappointing because they were not French. The ones I had in France are much thinner and freshly cut to be fried.
These were just the usual chips!

Moule frites:
The mussels were meant to be paired with fries but I had them with a baguette.
It was a huge portion and the sauce was generous too.
Although the mussels tasted like they were frozen ones, the way it was cooked made it taste like it was half fresh and the sauce was really nice because there was white wine, finely diced onions and herbs.
After finishing the mussels, the sauce was just amazing with the baguette.

chicken leg in red wine sauce:
The chicken in red wine sauce was also good, it was well marinated that the chicken skin and chicken beneath it was full of flavour.
The sauce was lovely and rich, perfect with the rice they served.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Nougat glace:
The nougat icecream tasted like frozen whipped cream with nuts in it.
It was really affordable too compared to other French restaurants.
