Saveur @ Purvis Street

Second visit to Saveur on a weekday dinner. Reached at around 615pm, and the place was still not full yet. I guess their expansion really helped to ease the crowd.

This time, my gf and I were there with two other friends, so we took the opportunity to try some different dishes.


Beef Bourguignon with Root Vegetables and Mixed Greens, $13.90
This didn't look too appetising, but it was better than expected. The beef was also surprisingly tender and laced with a bit of fat, so it tasted pretty good. It came with some baked potatoes (below), which was baked with milk, cheese, and garlic. Not bad as well.

Chicken Roulade with Foie Gras Stuffing and Basmati Rice, $9.90
I found this dish to be rather uninteresting. There was absolutely no taste of foie gras, for one thing. The chicken also tasted very plain and average. Will definitely avoid this dish next time.


Barramundi with Crab Potato and French Beans, $13.90
The fish was pan fried until it was slightly crispy. Although I felt it lacked the subtle fresh and sweet taste of barramundi, it was still satisfactory. The accompanying crab potato was really good though.


Having visited Saveur twice, I am already planning what to order for our next visit. Assuming a meal for two pax, it would probably be two foie gras (one apple, one lentils), angel hair pasta with minced pork and sakura ebi, duck confit, and perhaps one of their premium items - either the beef tenderloin or the monk fish.
