Francophiles rejoice! It’s French fever in this week’s edition of The Weekly Grub with the release of PAUL’s new menu and the opening of La Pâtisserie au Sofitel. Other hot happenings include German cuisine at the The Kitchen Table and a bumper month of CitiBank’s $100Gourmet dining programme.
New Menu at FYR Cycene Ond Drinc
Six months after opening its doors along Boon Tat Street, FYR Cycene Ond Drinc has added a mishmash of grilled dishes, most of which are torched in a rugged Josper Charcoal Oven, to their menu. Diners can either tuck into a giant platter of Whole Maine Lobster, Five Spice Whole Chicken, and Lamb Saddle ($88) or help themselves to a humongous portion of Cape Bryon 100 Day Grass-Fed Angus Tomahawk 1kg ($108). Wash it all down with a beer or two, and chill out at one of the most vibrant spots in the CBD.
FYR Cycene Ond Drinc is located at 19 Boon Tat Street, Singapore 069619. Tel: +65 6221 3703
Gourmet Bonanza with CitiBank’s $100Gourmet
CitiBank’s $100Gourmet – a dining programme that flies an international guest chef in for two collaborative dinners with local chefs every month – will be bringing Chef Joris Bijdendijk of RIJKS® (Amsterdam) and Chef Rolf Fliegauf of Ecco Ascona and Ecco St Moritz from Switzerland to Singapore this October. The former will be harmonising his haute French cuisine with Chef Colin Buchan of Pollen and Chef Daniel Sia of The Disgruntled Chef while the latter will be teaming up with Chef Nicky Ng of Mitzo Restaurant & Bar and Chef Marco de Vicentis of The Waterfall at Shangri-la Hotel Singapore.

W Gastsube
Part of W Singapore’s monthly ‘Food From the Heart’ series, a delectable spread of German delicacies will be churned out for all food lovers at The Kitchen Table this October. Translated to restaurant or tavern in German, a gastsube is a welcoming space where people get together to dine in a homely environment, and in this case, an inspiration for Chef Frank Koppelkamm’s beloved culinary philosophy of treating food with care. Some of the many Deutsch delights to look out for include the flavourful Bavarian Style Sausage Salad and the hearty Königsberger Meatballs.
This promotion is running from Monday, 26 October to Thursday, 29 October 2015 from 6pm to 10.30pm. Price: $65++ (SPG Members enjoy 1-for-1 dining).
W Singapore is located at 21 Ocean Way, Singapore 098374. Tel: +65 6808 7268
Antoinette opens at Sofitel SoSingapore
Sofitel So may own multiple properties around the world, but at the end of the day, it is still very much French at heart. It comes as no surprise then, that Antoinette has chosen the swanky hotel to open its latest outlet – La Pâtisserie au Sofitel. The French bakery’s Head Chef Pang Kok Keong has already amassed a loyal fan base with his gorgeous confectionaries, and more of the same can be expected from Antoinette’s CBD outlet. If you want something with a local twist, go for the endearingly-named Satay Swirl ($3.50).
Sofitel SoSingapore is located at 35 Robinson Rd, Singapore 068876. Tel: +65 6701 6800
PAUL Launches New Menu
Established in 1889, PAUL has certainly come a long way since its beginnings as a small town bakery in Lille, France. With an eye-opening total of 28 new menu items, customers can now sit back and enjoy the luscious flavours that PAUL’s French cooking is so famous for. Diners can help themselves to mouth-watering dishes such as the Confit de Canard; where a succulent duck leg is placed beside delicious potato gratin, or the Cabillaud Royal De Méditerranée; a delicate fillet of cod that is lashed with seasonings of Mediterranean sauce.
