As part of my solo staycation, I decided to splurge the big bucks and dine at Les Amis — one of only three restaurants in Singapore to hold the revered 3 Michelin Stars rating.
The restaurant’s location itself is unassuming, located along the sidewalk of Shaw Centre, which itself is situated in Singapore’s premier shopping district Orchard Road.
Upon arriving, I was shown to my table and presented the menu. I was also given the choice of either still or sparkling water, of which I chose the latter.
THE MENU
Les Amis offers both a la carte and tasting menu for dinner — with two types of tasting menu available. There’s the S$375 “Le Menu D’Automne Classique” four-course menu and for those looking for the full experience, the S$510 six-course “Le Menu D’Automne Degustation”. I selected the Degustation menu — with the sole caveat being that I was a bit sensitive to cheese and requested to replace the “Alba white truffle presented finely on a silky cheese soufflé” dish with something else. Upon consulting with the chef, the waitress serving me informed me that they’d be able to replace that dish with a cold appetiser of “capellini pasta with Kristal caviar and freshly shaved white alba truffle”. Yes please!
THE FOOD
Dinner began with a selection of freshly baked bread that I was free to choose from the bread cart — served table side. I was also given a couple of “finger food” and amuse bouche to whet my appetite, including a roasted chicken dish served with a fruit based curry dip, an onion tart, and a cold soup. All of these before we kicked off the items on the menu.
The first course was the aforementioned, specially made “capellini pasta with Kristal caviar and freshly shaved white alba truffle”, which was simple yet decadent. The delightful mix of the fragrant white truffle and the ocean water-like caviar cannot be understated and the dish tasted every bit as good as it looked.
Next up was the appetiser of “Kegani crab served with Oscietra caviar (S$40 supplement), balanced with autumn apples for subtle acidity”. Caviar and crab have long been best friends and this dish did not disappoint.
The next course was arguably my favourite from the menu. The “slow roasted scallop from the coast of Erquy with autumn herbs & seaweed sauce”. The scallop itself was possibly the largest scallop I’ve ever had. Erquy in Northern France is considered the scallop capital, and with great reason too! According to the waitress, Erquy scallops are only allowed to be caught twice weekly, due to the town’s sustainability efforts to prevent the clams from being overfished. They are required to be of a certain size before being caught, which explains its soft, supple and sweet flavour. This is a must-have dish!
From the heights of the scallop, this was followed by a more muted dish consisting of “wild salmon from Isigny cooked in its own skin & served with civet sauce”. For me, this was perhaps the weakest dish on the menu, as I found the salmon skin to be a tad bitter. The civet sauce is meant to complement the salmon’s highly distinctive taste, but I do not think it was strong enough to actually do so.
On with the main course, and I had the choice of either duck or beef — once again, I chose the latter choice — “beef tenderloin with aromatics, natural jus, celeriac and green herb salad”. The beef itself was a succulent piece of Australian wagyu sourced from Blackmore, one of the country’s premier beef farms. Cooked a perfect medium rare, it was presented simply and was nicely complemented by the flavoursome celeriac.
A palette cleanser course followed, which consisted of home-made ice cream. A total of six flavours were available but I chose just two — vanilla and honey. The vanilla ice cream is made from the vanilla pod, ensuring a nice intensity of flavour that vanilla extract could never deliver. Meanwhile, the honey ice cream was made from 4-5 different types of honey, which gave it its fantastic honey comb type flavour. Move over store bought honey/syrup — this is the real deal!
The final course of the night was a refreshing dessert of “silky caramel custard flan in Saint-Honore style with Tahiti vanilla chantilly cream”. The caramel custard was sweet without being sinfully so, and worked beautifully with the wonderfully light vanilla cream.
THE SERVICE
Les Amis gets top marks for its service, which was attentive without being intrusive. Throughout the entire dinner experience, I was always addressed by name, and this is something I’ve never experienced before… even in other 3 Michelin Star establishments.
The waiting staff were clearly well trained. From satisfying the foodie in me by providing plenty of information about each individual dish, or seemingly taking pity of me dining on my lonesome by giving me a copy of Epicure magazine to read between courses (nice touch there guys), to perfecting the art of a quenelle when scooping the ice cream — these little things just helped elevate the dining experience into something truly magical!
THE VERDICT
Don’t ever skimp on the opportunity to dine at Les Amis. The restaurant’s every bit as good as one might expect, and then some! Whether you’re going on for a romantic date for two, hanging out with friends, or like me —- curing a bad case of cabin fever by having a solo meal, Les Amis delivers in spades.
