Poulet has a few outlets in Singapore namely: 1)Great World 2)Bugis 3)Chinatown Point. Service of the staff needs improvement but can't say it is bad though. But the quality of the food and its affordability is worth mentioning.

Poulet Roti Half S$15.80



Before this meal, I actually had a plate of crayfish hor fun at Hong Lim Food Centre and my brother and a friend commented that I have to try the Roti said the chicken itself and the sauce(if you like cheese) are fantastic. The dish is the star dish of Poulet. The chicken is brined for a full day in their traditional and secret sauce. After that it is placed in a rotisserie and roast till it is golden brown. Hence the end product is a chicken that is so fully of flavour and fragrance even without any sauce. Lastly is the sauce that makes this dish a heavenly dish. My taste buds tell me the sauce has white wine, cheese and mushroom.

Sauteed wild mushroom S$7.80


I am a mushroom lover hence naturally I like this dish however this dish also has very strong garlic and is sufficiently salty plus the pouched egg, superb!It is a triple combination of button, shimeji and king oyster mushrooms.

Saucisson S$6.80

Apple Tart S$7.80

Nothing special about the sausage. But the caramelised apple and almond paste in hot puffy tart is worth trying. The vanilla ice-cream blends well with this dessert.

Some food reviewer said that this is the best Chicken Rice in Singapore. Chicken Rice is like the national food for Singapore. When I was in Tokyo premium outlet I saw a stall called Singapore Chicken Rice, Chicken Rice is synonymous icon of Singapore. Not just in Tokyo, in USA, Australia you see a similar situation as well.

There are 6 paramount components for a good chicken rice: 1)succulent, white and soft meat covers by a hairless creamy skin with a wonderful gelatinous layer underneath the skin 2)rice that is full of flavour due to the spices, pandan leaves, ginger, chicken broth or chicken oil 3)chilli sauce that is hot and tangy 4)fragrant dizzling sauce normally soya sauce and sesame oil which is added to on to the chicken itself 5)Sweet dark color sauce 6)Ginger sauce. All these 6 components when compare togather in the right proportion will give you a heavenly feeling to your mouth and stomach.

Whole Chicken S$24.0

The chicken itself is very well cooked, it is cooked to the bone which is hard to fine because a lot of the other famous chicken rice stalls that have very nice tender chicken meat are often bloody at the bone. The dizzling sauce on the chicken I don't particularly fancy it as I find it too thick and not flavourful enough.

Bean Sprouts S$4.0

Chicken Rice

The chicken rice is good but not the best. The quantity of the rice is alot and is really value for money when you weight in on the cost spends.

The chilli is really power, hot and tangy. The only thing lacking with regard to the sauces is there is not ginger sauce. The sweet black sauce is also fantastic, thick and flavourfully sweet.

Cold Soya Bean Drink S$1.30

Beancurd S$1.70

The beancurd is very original and good. Maybe for too long I have been eating the lao ban tau huay and suddenly try an original flavour one brings back the perennial homely feeling of what a comfort food should be.

Taiwan noodle(S3.80), You Tiao(S1.10) and Toasted Bun Meat - Floss Egg($3.00)

The taiwan noodle has slices of pig intestines inside it. The intestines are well-clean with no hog smell. The soup is simply delicious some tried eating with drops of vinegar which is readily available in every table.

Steamed Dumplings S$2.80

 

Carrot cake/Egg S$2.00

See the amount of carrot inside the cake!

The xiao long bao really value for money S$2.80. Each dumpling is juicy and full of meat. The only issue is the skin is abit thick. The carrot cake is also value for money and you can readily taste the carrots.

While doing house hunting at Iskandar chance upon this old and nostalgic restaurant which I have never visited for 7 to 8 years. It brings back alot of memories. It is hard to miss this restaurant when you come to Malaysia from Woodlands Checkpoint. It has a big duck mascot hangs outside the restaurant. They have 8 kinds of ducks in the restaurant.

I fail to take picture of the duck which is the embodiment of this restaurant. The duck is average but definitely the food is value for money when compare to Singapore. Total price including drinks is $123.10 ringgit.

Blackened Chilli Mee Pok S$4.00

Big fat oysters soup S$5.00

The chilli mee pok used dried prawns as the sauce which you can't find it elsewhere. There are fresh prawns, dry sole fish, mushroom,fish balls, fish cake and minced meat in the mee pok. I like the fried onions, lard and fish sauce. We particularly like the oysters soup has generous number of fat oysters. The soup is tasty and delicious. The noodles use are thin and QQ.

 This restaurant is situated at the corner of the road. Alot of foreign workers patronise this coffee shop as well. The back of the coffeeshop and its toilet are also unsavoury which don't make it an ideal place for family gathering. The food quality and price make up for it. Definitely need to try the fired batang fish  which is really fantastic.
