So France - Gourmet Haven

The little gourmet in me immediately springs unto life the second I see the little French supermarket in So France. Now it’s possible to bring a bit of France home. And enjoy some French bistro food while at here.

Salmon and Scallop Tartare is a lovely creation of refreshing tastes of umami layered with the fresh creaminess of avocado. And the scallop pieces are sweet! And quinoa gives a nice crunchy bite to the soft texture of salmon, scallop and avocado. Very good in both taste and texture. The dish that impresses me the most here. 

Duck Conf'wich is a very hearty meal made up of fresh greens drizzled with olive oil and zest, generous amount of shredded flavourful duck meat sandwiched between wholesome loafs of bread. And the foie gras terrines add that hint of decadent rich buttery goodness to the duck meat. The portion is very big, best to share this one.

Paris Brest is made up of crispy choux pastry, whipped cream and praline filling. I love the texture of the chou pastry. And the praline filling makes it a unique creation. Definitely worth a try.

The place is of upmarket bistro ambience, which is very nice for chilling out with friends. The service is pretty good too. A great place to do atas grocery shopping and hang out with friends or dates.

Thoughts: Nice!

Bordier Butter is renowned for being one of butters in the world. If one sees the YouTube video on Bordier Butter, one will see that lots of craftsmanships is put into making of this artisanal butter with just hands and a wooden kneading contraption. The taste and aroma are very intense. Just need a bit of this to make anything flavourful and delightful to eat.

Smooth with a bit of tang and sharp pungent flavour, Edmond Fallot Dijon Mustard is made with Burgundy mustard seed and Burgundy wine. So the flavour is more complex than the usual brands.

Known as baby of Hollandaise sauce, Bearnaise sauce is made of clarified butter emulsified with egg yolks, white wine vinegar and herbs. This sauce has mild, rich and complex flavours that will please lots of palates.

Black Truffle Mayonnaise is a must-buy! With real truffle bits packed inside, the well-loved earthy aroma immediately greets the olfactory senses when one takes a bite off whatever this mayonnaise is slathered over. For that special indulgence.

Janier Catalan Cream is unbelievably smooth, and so is the caramel sauce. A luxurious dessert.

Nice macarons, but the chocolate one deserves a special mention. Slightly bitter due to the dark chocolate used, it tastes different from the usual milk chocolate types, it is more complex in taste profile.

The bistro at So France is worth a visit too. Though I visited it 2 years ago, so I can’t really recall my experience there. This is the reason why I need to update this blog soon after the visits.
