From fromage to mille feuille
Hungry for a good deal? Then check out the new elevated set lunch menu at La Table French Brasserie. Available Mondays to Saturdays, the menu features a wide range of classic French dishes, including the all-you-can-eat "The Table" starter option with daily specials such as smoked scallop with caviar and cheese and charcuterie. The set lunch is priced at only $268 for two courses, or $318 for three courses, all inclusive of coffee or tea. What’s more, if you’re already a member of New World Millennium’s Epicure membership programme, you’ll get to enjoy 25 percent off your total lunch bill. If you haven't signed up for this programme yet, you can do so for free here (allow at least a week for your application to be processed). In the meantime, here's a taste of the not-to-be-missed highlights from the new menu.
This generous cheese platter is one of the rotating daily specials from The Table appetiser option. Fromage fans will be happy to know that there are several varieties on offer. The selection changes regularly and may include anything from a mild and creamy brie to a funky roquefort.
Another rotating daily special from the all-you-can-eat appetiser option, this zingy and refreshing seafood cocktail is the perfect way to start your meal. Served in mini martini glasses, each portion comes with delicately poached scallops, prawns and baby octopus tossed in a brightly flavoured dressing.
The French have a knack for turning even the simplest ingredients into a gourmet meal. Take the croque monsieur and croque madame for example. Served as a main course in La Table’s set lunch menu, these two Gallic takes on the humble ham and cheese sandwich are buttery, meaty and deliciously decadent. Both sandwiches are served with a side salad and, of course, French fries.
La Table’s set lunch always includes a hearty roast as one of its entrées. The meat changes on a regular basis but it’s always something insanely comforting, like the prime rib of beef, which is served with potato gratin dauphinois and roasted vegetables. It’s a must-order for all the carnivores out there.
Served in a cast iron skillet, La Table’s apple tarte tatin is topped with a quenelle of salted caramel ice cream, which perfectly balances the apples’ sweet and tart flavour profile. It’s also an indulgent portion that’s big enough to share.
This classic French dessert comes with two layers of delicately piped crème pâtissière sandwiched between three sheets of golden-brown puff pastry. Served with a side of raspberries, it’s sweet, creamy, tart and crunchy all the same time, making it the perfect way to end a meal.
Enjoy classic French dishes and an extensive wine list at this contemporary yet cosy restaurant. Be sure to try the signatures, such as dry aged prime steaks, bouillabaisse and baba au rhum.
