PouletBijouJewel-10

Poulet Bijou at Jewel Changi Airport is Poulet's latest and eighth outlet in Singapore. It also marks Poulet's 10th anniversary of serving its favourite French Roast Chicken. The new restaurant serves an extensive all-day dining menu comprising its signature French Roast Chicken, contemporary French cuisine, and desserts under one roof.

Truffle Fries 3.5/5

We had the Truffle Fries ($10.90) for our starter. It comes with chopped parsley and parmesan snow, dressed in black truffle oil. An addictive munch while waiting for the mains.

Mixed Mushroom Sautee Galette 4/5

Besides Poulet's signature items, Poulet Bijou has offered an all-new French dessert menu that focuses on savoury galettes, sweet decadence crepes and french toast. We tried a couple of their savoury galettes, starting with the Mixed Mushroom Sautee Galette ($13.90). Folded inside the crepe is wild mushroom, sunny side-up egg in truffle dressing.

Mixed Seafood Galette 3.8/5

The other galette we tried is the Mixed Seafood Galette ($16.90) which comes with a local twist. It is laksa in a crepe instead in a bowl. There are prawns, squid, fish cake, crushed nut and sunny side-up egg with laksa dressing.

Vanilla French Toast 4/5

Wrapping up our meal, we had the Vanilla French Toast ($15.90) laden with generous toppings of juicy mixed strawberries and yoghurt ice cream.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Beach Road Kitchen @ JW Marriott Singapore South Beach - The Art Of Afternoon Tea in Collaboration with Nespresso

high tea

In celebration of Earth Day on 22 April 2022, Beach Road Kitchen at JW Marriott Singapore South Beach has collaborated with Nespresso to launch The Art of Afternoon Tea ($40++ per person). Guests will find Nespresso-centric savoury treats and coffee-infused sweets. The Afternoon Tea is available every Saturday and Sunday 3.30 pm-5.30 pm for April and May 2022.

quiche lorraine

Before diving right into the main course, enjoy their warm entree of Lobster Bisque and Quiche Lorraine, included in the afternoon tea set.

Chocolate duck rillettes & lobster Tartare


foie gras tart2

Indulge in coffee infusion treats such as the Chocolate "Origin Brazil" Duck Rillettes and Foie Gras "Origin Peru Organic" Tart for savouries.

truffle kaya toast2

The local favourite kaya toast inspires the Truffle Kaya "Guatemala" Toast. The coffee's elegant bitterness balances the sweetness from the kaya spread.

salmon tartare1

Another of my favourite is the Lobster Tartare with a crispy charcoal shell and the Salmon Tartare with pesto cone.

latte gateau1

The sweets selection was both a visual and sensory pleasure. My favourites include the Vanilla "Origin Guatemala" Coffee Caramel Tart, Latte "Peru Organic" Gateau, and Origin Peru Organic Coffee Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse. The melt in the mouth Origin Peru Organic Coffee Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse stood out for its luscious creaminess, neither too sweet nor bitter.

raspberry coffee praline

Coffee-infused sweets include the Raspberry Coffee Praline, which is punchy and robust in its fruity aroma without overpowering the coffee's bittersweet notes.

pistachio strawberry swiss roll2

Take a break from the caffeine loaded treats with the Pistachio Strawberry Swiss Roll and Lemon Almond Gateau, which are equally delicious.

scones1

Enjoy the quintessential Scones in plain and tomato flavours, served with clotted cream, lemon curd, and raspberry rose jam. However, we found the scones a tad dry and lacking in the buttery taste.

softserve2

End the afternoon tea on an even sweeter note with their Softserve Ice Cream with berries. We had the yoghurt flavour, which is superbly creamy and has a nice tangy-sweet flavour.
