Gourmet Plus
Gourmet Plus, along Frankel Avenue.

So this was the first time I patronised this cosy little restaurant near Siglap area. Wouldnt call the decor fantastic but I liked the setting. Surroundings were peaceful, restaurant was peaceful enough. A polite waiter greets as I enter.

Anyway today was celebration for a friend's birthday, and out comes my I-S restaurant guide and ta-da! We end up at Frankel Avenue. Food time!

First up, escargots as a starter! For those who haven't tasted escargot, it actually tastes quite like shellfish. Something like... mussels? Yea. But with the herbs, saltier and more.. garlic-ky.

My main course, Chicken Truffle. A rather lean piece (i.e quite healthy) of chicken breast meat topped with creamy truffle sauce, with pan-fried cauliflower, boiled french beans and fried potato cubes. Oh, and a cherry tomato too.

Friend's main course, Squid Ink Seafood Risotto. If you can't tell from the picture, the serving portion is actually rather filling, due to the cheese and rice. Oh, if you don't see the seafood, it's all hidden under the rice. But you won't be able to see much of it even if it's not anyway, cos everything's black.

All in all a not bad place, with a deli corner beside the cashier. Menu also includes other European fare like foie gras, pork knuckles, pasta and bratwurst sausages. Main courses cost around $18-$25.
