Miam Miam

Sporting a name that literally means ‘yum yum’ in French, this fun and casual French-Japanese eatery in the revamped wing of Bugis Junction offers ‘perfectly engineered’ meals by combining French techniques with Japanese flavours. Word of warning: the food menu bears a striking similarity to Plaza Singapura’s Hoshino Coffee, though they’re not related. We liked the generous squid ink pasta ($16.80), given a pleasant kick with the addition of wasabi-infused oil, and the Riz Au Curry ($15.50), piping hot baked rice with homemade curry and pork frankfurters. While both the sweet and savoury soufflés are passable, be sure to order the Famous French Toast ($9.80) for dessert. The nicely charred bread is soft and fluffy on the inside, which soaks up the maple syrup beautifully, and comes topped with a dollop of superior whipped cream.
