Thanks again pilgrim, for the recommendation, I finally tried Fulgurances L’Adresse. Unfortunately, couldn’t make it with chef Chloé Charles. Starting from 19 May, the new house chef is Tamir Nahmias, he was leaving Frenchies earlier this year, the French Israelian chef is preparing to open his own restaurant later this year.

My favourite dish is the lamb tartare that I stole from hubby (we always exchange dish midway so we can taste everything). I also like the perfectly cooked fish in the nutty butter sauce. The octopus entry is alright, I think those who like a good Charmoula will like this dish, I personally find the sauce a bit overwhelming. As for the lamb, I overheard the waiter explaining to the table behind me how it was cooked in sous vide for many hours etc. It was alright but not Allaiton quality. Ever since I ate the Allaiton lamb (store buy), I rarely find better anywhere, even without sous-vous, the meat was so tender and melt in your mouth. For the dessert, I like the parfait, good with the passion fruit.
To my surprise, I booked online Friday night for a Saturday lunch without any hassle. I never ate in Frenchies, so I can’t compared.
