Not the same as before. Service was never too good even earlier, but at-least staff was not so insolent. On top of it, the honey-dripping-voiced, lady co-owner didn’t resolve the issue. Spoils the dining mood. Missed the French gentleman, the earlier owner. Food, however was same.

Just want to add on- didn’t enjoy the meal at all as it was very rushed. The duck was a bit dry, the chicken was booked then fried with sauce only. So can test the boiled chicken taste. Oh god. And the ordering and paying first at that small little counter really adds on to the zichar feel. Even zichar won’t ask u to pay first.
And the cooks, after hurriedly cooking our dinner, proceeded to talk loudly in the dining area.
Upp thomson branch. Worse cafe experience ever. And calling it a cafe is giving a lot of leeway already.

Bread was not fresh- no taste.
Worst of all, French cuisine is meant to be a slow enjoyment. They served up the entree, soup and main dishes all at the same time. Made me feel like we were eating in a hawker centre Zi char.

The food here is really great. Really value for money… Not the best service but they are ok when they are not too busy. When they are busy then they get a bit rude…but that”s ok. There is filipino guy there who is really really nice… even under pressure and when its crowded, he is still chatty and smiles and is great… He is the best… on the other hand… thin lady with long single hair braid totally loses her cool… if you ask her for parmesan cheese she will say ” dont have ” when it right there behind the counter… filipino guy brings it over immediately… avoid the woman with the braid…and you will have a nice dining experience

Is the phone number 63143173 or 64688850? I called the first to see if I could make a reservation and the male waiter simply said that they do not take reservations and hung up the phone. I called back to make a complaint to the manager. Unfortunately, he picked up the phone again and said that everyone is very busy right now so no one can’t entertain me and hung up the phone once again. I’m utterly disgusted at the level of rudeness and definitely will not recommend this place.

I just visited la petite cuisine. The service sucks big time although the food is value for money.
One of the customer tried to ask where he xan sit and the waiter walked pass and just ignored him totally!
I tried to ask for ice water and without even looking at me, the waiter walk pass and shouted: self service!
When i ordered my food, instead of writing down, the waiter just stare at me and said: pay first.

WHAT A HORRIBLE DINING EXPERIENCE!
I will never come back again

Oh… You shouldn’t have really given the pan fried foie gras a miss…. it’s probably one of the most value for money in terms of the serving portion and the taste!

Nicely pan fried and quiver in the interior. I reckon you would love it.

And stick to the French dishes at this place and you will never go wrong, by that I mean the duck confit is a must try and the pasta a nono!

it’s amazing how after eating a full dinner+desserts+extras, one look at your entry can make me so gian for random things like foie gras at 2am la.

diva: EXACTLY! I love duck. hee okay I’m boring, never try the other “birds” before. AHH! i want to go Paris too! how many times u’ve been there?

adel: yep, portions a bit small, but then again, since when do the French eat in big portions? lol!

aiwei: hahahahahahaha are you feeling hungry?

Ffichiban: I didn’t take any photos of the interior (forgot to), but nothing fanciful, no-frills smallish cafe. Yeah i love the escargot smell of butter and garlic!

LFB: who were you “debating” with? No leh, i have yet to try truffles, why have to be before this month? Don’t think so, not with my shallow pockets!

What a coincidence! I spent almost the entire weekend (now practically spent) discussing (arguing, rather, haha) the merits of foie gras. Now, it comes to mind that we were also “discussing” truffles. Any chance of you reviewing/tasting that before the month is up, my friend?

(Plus, it’s French too, no? )

Hee hee this place looks quite fancy as well and ooh never tried escargot without it drowning in a pool of butter and garlic.
