Poulet, French for chicken, is a French casual dining food chain in Singapore. It’s one of the fastest growing food chains in Singapore, with an astonishing NINE outlets opened in a mere two years!
After hearing they’ve finally spruced up their menu, I made my way down to Poulet to find out what all the fuss over their roast chicken was about.
Minor food group is the parent company of popular food chains like Thai Express and Xin Wang Hong Kong cafe. They specialise in casual dining, making food affordable to Singaporeans. Their concept at Poulet is simple. To provide good French food at affordable prices.
We started off our meal with entrées from the new menu, recommended by the staff. We first had the Halibut Goujonette ($9.90) – crispy halibut filet strips served with tartare sauce and a lemon wedge. These lightly breaded fish sticks came in a generous portion that would be an adequate appetizer for two. This is our top appetizer pick from the new menu.
Another item on their new menu was the traditional French dish, Ratatouille ($5.90). A classic vegetable stew, it consists of tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini and bell peppers. A good choice for vegetable lovers and for those with a smaller appetite.
The must-try here is still their Truffle Mashed Potato ($5.90) from their existing menu. Smooth and creamy, every spoonful had a light truffle aroma, unlike many places where the truffle scent merely lingers briefly on your food.
So you have three sauces to choose from to go with your chicken – cranberry, bacon mushroom and creamy mushroom. We highly recommend the last one. If you’re not that hungry, you can order the half chicken which will only set you back by $17.90.
An interesting note is that unlike Italian pizzas, the Pissaladiere is cheese-free!
For dessert, we had the Tiramisu ($7.90), Peach Clafoutis ($7.90), Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding ($7.90) and Crème Brulee ($8.90). The desserts that stood out for us were the Tiramisu and Crème Brulee. The highly recommended Tiramisu was light and not too sweet or rich, and it came in a pretty, Instagram-worthy little jar that could easily serve up to 4 people.
The Crème Brulee was an absolute treat. Caramelized to perfection, it had an equal dose of crisp sweetness and smooth egg custard that did not overpower the palate, even though the portion size was generous. Yes, that was how amazing it was.
It’s easy to see why Poulet has been hit in Singapore. Although the roast chicken didn’t meet my expectations after hearing all the good reviews, Poulet still lives up to the hype.
I can see why people used to queue for hours to have their affordable French food. And with all their new outlets opening even in places like Kallang Wave and Changi Airport, the long queues aren’t so much of an issue anymore. Check out a full list of their branches here.
