I'll skip the interesting stories about how Bruno Ménard used to run a 3 Michelin starred French restaurant in Tokyo and fate has relegated him onto our sunny shores to run a burger/sandwich joint (9 Scotts Road, #01-04/05/06 Pacific Plaza, tel : +65 6238 5549) these days. Google does that a lot better than me.
What I would prefer to do is to talk about the food. Do I like it? Yes,
it was pretty tasty. The dry aged beef burger with Comte cheese and
sauteed onions was impressively one of the better, juicier and beefier pink
medium rare doneness burger that I've had in a while. In a light, soft and airy bun. It's one of those
things that you sink your teeth into and then quietly exclaim to
yourself, "wow!". I couldn't deny too that those toastoo things which
are buckwheat crepes were quite nicely made up as well. I had the one
stuffed with smoked salmon, cheese and spinach. The food was all freshly
made and arrived hot. And juicy.
What I felt didn't work for me were the dainty portions. Too damned small
for a hungry person was my first impression and I could easily do three
of those toastoos for breakfast. And that would make it a rather
expensive breakfast. Ditto for the burger which probably had one of the
smallest non slider patty I've come across.
Service was fairly good and the food was great. I'd like to give it another shot someday. Maybe.

Awesome awesome. Did you come up with that fried egg addition?
The egg was part of the order, not an addition. This came from the breakfast menu.
