Poulet, a
French word for Chicken. It is a French theme bistro offering French
classic dishes, especially their signature dish of Poulet Roti (Roast
Chicken), Poulet also served array of classical French cuisine from
Appetizers to desserts.
Apparently,
Poulet is operated by Minor Food Group Singapore (MFGS), global
operator of other popular brands such as ThaiExpress, Xin Wang Hong
Kong Cafe and Kiseki.
We
dropped by at Poulet Raffles City for a quick bite before we
completing our Christmas Shopping. We were lucky to grab a seat
before the dinner crowd begun to swarm the place and were seated near
the back of the restaurant.

| Salad De Canard Fume |
Our
dinner started with Salad De Canard Fume ($12.90). The unique thing
that we notice about the salad, is that the greens are chopped. It is
refreshing, especially with the tomato and orange wedges. The smoked
duck has a very subtle salty flavours and the raspberry dressing
provided a sweet touch to the salad. Simple and Refreshing.

| Poulet Roti with Mushroom Chardonay Sauce - Half |
For
Poulet Roti, LD ordered the original Poulet Roti with Mushroom
Chardonay Sauce ($15.90 - half) and I had their Christmas special
Poulet Roti with Caramelised Apple Sauce ($17.90 – half). We both
shared a side of mashed potatoes ($4.90).

We
noticed that both the roast chicken has the same basic seasoning. The
amazing part is they manage to roast it to an even consistency on the
white and dark meat. It is common for the thigh to be tender and
succulent, however the same can be said with their breast meat. Yum
Yum. Typical French dish, sauces are the important component of the
dish. I preferred the Caramelised Apple sauce, as the apple and
cinnamon provide a little acidity to the sauce and balance the dish.
We feel that the Mushroom Chardonnay sauce was too rich and
overwhelming your taste buds after a few bites.

The
mashed potatoes are just smooth, velvety and creamy. With a texture
of those bottled baby food, but taste just superb. It is good with
the apple sauce, but not with the Mushroom Chardonnay sauce.

For
desserts, we ordered the Rustic French Pear and Apple Tart ($8.90)
from the Christmas Menu. The presentation are beautiful. The puff
pastry are light, crispy and fully, sits on the bottom and top of the
vanilla ice cream. The apple and pear bits are nicely caramelised and
intensified their taste. The ice cream added a perfect sweetness to
it together with the berries sauce, it just bind all the components
together. This desserts will give most of desserts from fine dining
restaurant a run for their money.

The
service is attentive and friendly. Although the bistro is packed, the
service staff attend to our request and speed up our order. The
bistro is furnished with dark colour wooden tables and chairs. With a
Parisian theme décor as well, you will be able to spot this place
from a distance. As they try to maximise the place, I just find the
table and chair a little cramp for my size.

Overall,
although it has been two years since its opening in Singapore, we did
not really had a chance to try it until now and we truly enjoy our
meal here. The food is just delicious, accompanied by good service,
good atmosphere and reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back for
more. Cheers!!
