Beaujolais, Singapore

No 1 Ann Siang Hill
Singapore
069784




On a the corner of the busy Club Street and Ann Siang Hill, Beaujolais mixes French touches with Singaporean shop house looks.


From our outdoor corner spot we had good street views in every direction.


To start we shared the tomato bruschetta, featuring sweet cherry vine tomatoes  on toasted garlic bread and Stu's favourite, the cold cuts, including air-dried beef, Swiss smoked coppa, Prosciuto di Parma and French saucission.


The  sirloin steak was served with salad and fries and a choice of sauces.



The grilled tiger prawns lived up to their names and were served with pasta aglio olio.


I had the salmon which also came with fries and salad. The skin was a little over crisp and salty, but everything else was good.


The service was smooth and the food was fair value, as has to be expected the drinks weren't cheap, so the overall meal was fairly pricy, but it certainly isn't a bad choice for a French style meal in Singapore.

Maxwell Road Hawker Centre, Singapore

1 Kadayanallur Street
Singapore
069184

Our first stop on our visit to Asia was Singapore, and just down the road from our Spottiswoode (a reminder of the western suburbs) Road digs, and not far from the skyscrapers was the famous  Maxwell Road Hawker Centre.


It was busy but not crazy on the Wednesday lunchtime we visited, which made life easier for two jet lagged arrivees trying to get used to the humidity. Even in a hawker centre the order of Singapore was noticeable.


The first stop we made was Sisaket Thai food.


It's amazing how the small kitchens churn out the food.


The Pad Thai was good without being amazing, and was a little smaller than we expected, but that left room for us to try another stall.


Stu enjoyed his pineapple rice.


On the second lap the queue at the renown Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice stand was smaller, so we thought we'd better give it a try.


Behind the counter the team were efficient and busy.


What Anthony Bourdain said...


The dish is simple but was plenty flavoursome enough for us... I can understand why the crowds flock back to Tian Tian.


There are plenty of other Hawker Centres to try, but I can see why Maxwell Road is popular.
