Le Petite Cuisine

Janice and Leonard had been talking to me about this French place at Serene Centre, how its cheap and good! So we finally fixed a date to head down together.

Le Petite Cuisine..



Kindly note that they only accept cash.


The server was really funny.. he's malay and when he came out to hand us the menu, he said.. " everything here is french, except me ". haha..

The food was really CHEAP.

warm bread that came wif the soup...



we had cream of mushroom and cream of broccoli...



the cream of mushroom was good! it was tasty. the cream of broccoli was not as tasty though. oh.. and soup is only a $3 top up from the main courses ordered.

we shared a foie gras ($16)...



a closer up view...



the foie gras may not be the best i've had but its very decent. portion vs price is very reasonable.

for mains, we ordered the ravioli of prawns and foie gras ($13.50)...



the foie gras and prawns inside...



its pretty good. the sauce is a comforting cream sauce. but oh.. haha. the ravioli skin tasted like wanton skin! But i'm not complaining. i mean, for $13.50, theres really nothing to complain. A dish like this can easily cost $20 - $30 in the posher places.

sirloin steak ($11)...



done medium rare....



the steak was ok. The beef taste was not strong and while its not tough, its not very tender either. BUT, at $11, i think its GREAT! the potato gratin was scrumptious!

fillet of salmon ($13)....



the lemon cream sauce was to die for! It went really really well with the salmon. The tinge of lemon worked wonders for a cream based sauce. The salmon was cooked to perfection. It was not overcooked and the texture was simply divine. Portion was great as well. The rice at the side was also fabulous. Its slightly sticky with cheese power on top, goes really well with the sauce also!

LOVE the recommendation! thank cute Janice and Leonard!
