I remember passing by this restaurant when I was shopping at John Little's in the Now defunct Specialist Centre in Somerset. The main thing that stuck in my memory was the large selection of wines that they had but I never did try their food. Fast forward to May 2011, My colleague and I are in Funan Mall when we notice a sign that showed a set lunch promo and a line that proclaims their famous apple pie. We located the restaurant on the 2nd level (I had not been back to Funan for a few months) and the layout is still pretty much the same with the numerous wine bottles and cosy atmosphere.
After seating us, the waiter strongly recommended us to try the Chicken Chop set lunch and we did but we just had to try the famous apple pie :))
Pumpkin Soup
You could taste that it was freshly prepared and the flavours did not overwhelm. Slightly sour and sweet and a very pleasant start to the meal.
Chicken Chop
Unlike the standard chicken chop you normally get in most western food hawker stalls or restaurants here, this was not drenched in brown sauce. The sauce instead was drizzled over certain areas of the plate. I must say that the meat was tender and tasty even without the sauce which means they have marinated the meat very well. Only gripe is I still prefer a larger portion!
Apple Pie
We had to wait a while for the apple pie as they bake it fresh too but it was definitely worth the wait. Light flaky crust supported a ring of apple slices and this was topped off with a scoop of Vanilla Ice cream. A surprisingly light dessert that was voted the best part of the meal by my colleague and I. Luckily for us, it lived up to the hype.
Will definitely be back to explore more dishes soon and more apple pie! :D
Price: Set lunch we had was priced about S$13++ (soup, main course and coffee). Apple pie was S$9.90++
