&Made
is the brain child of Chef Bruno Ménard,
a 3-star Michelin Star Chef with Olivier Bendel, founder and CEO of
Deliciae Hospitality Management Pte Ltd. The hospitality group
responsible for F&B concept such as L'Entrecôte,
Forlino, Sabio and 83 Club Street. At &Made, you can see
informal food such as salad and burger, however do expect Chef Bruno
to pay special attention to the ingredients use and homemade
condiments straight from Chef Bruno recipe book which are made daily.
Our
friend G has a sudden burger cravings. So after scouring the web for
artisan burger in Singapore, &Made name keep popping up. To be
honest, this is our second choice, however as the first choice
establishment closes on Sunday, we move on next on the list. As &Made
does not take reservation, we decided to come in early, just in case
there are a queue. Luckily, there was no queue and we were seated
immediately.
G &
I decided to order The 3 Little Pigs ($23), Little Devil ordered The
Rossini ($28), G's hubby, 'H' ordered The 'B' Burger Lunch Set and
Little C have Mini Beef Cheeseburger ($10).
The
3 Little Pigs are made from combination of pork fillet, bacon and
chorizo patty. Inspired by Japanese flavour, it is topped with spicy
yuzu-kosho mayonnaise, shiitake and cabbage. The patty is tender,
juicy and quite generous in size. While the spicy yuzu mayonnaise
give a subtle kick when you bite into the burger. The brioche bun has
the nice texture and flavour to complement the burger. This pork
burger is definitely comparable the beef counterpart. Each of the
burger come with fries and homemade BBQ Sauce.

Rossini is actually in a different class compare to ours. The dry
aged beef patties are topped with French pan seared foie gras. It
might look very simple but when you bit into it, the perfectly cooked
foie gras just melts in your mouth and become the delicious creamy
sauce for the beef patties. A definite must try, Yummy!!!

For the set lunch, it
came with salad and sundae. The salad is quite a simple garden salad
with a vinaigrette dressing. The comment from H about his burger is
quite good, while little C enjoyed her Mini Cheeseburger. The sundaes
are delicious, as both sundaes are polished clean by the father and
daughter.

While the burgers are
delicious and a must try, there are consistency need to be address.
We actually send back two of the fries as it were overcooked. Taste
wise, it is quite ordinary and lose its crispiness before the end of
our meal. The &made BBQ sauce does help on enhance the flavour
though.
The drinks can be on the
pricey side, however the taste is quite good especially on the &Made
Lemonade ($8) and Iced Choco Coffee ($8).

The service side needed
some improvement. Although the service staff are polite, it seems
they are out of their depth and inexperienced. When we want to change
the drink in the set menu, different staff give different answer on
the additional charge that we need to pay. When we asked for ketchup
from one of the service staff that deliver the burger, he answered
“we don't serve ketchup, we only have homemade tomato sauce!” A
very informative answer but might lead to a misunderstanding such as
putting down the customer.
Ambiance of the
restaurant is French, bright, fun and playful. My first impression
remind me of one of the scene from the Movie Moulin Rouge (starring
Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor). There are the options of indoor and
outdoor seating as well.

Overall, we really enjoy
our dining experience with Chef Bruno burgers creation. We just hope
that it can be more consistent in its delivery and service. We look
forward to our next visit here to try his other creation such as his
waffle and desserts. Cheers!!
