SG Restaurant Week Spring 2023 by Dining City Singapore is running its final week this week and I’m glad to have gone to Boeuf to try its Dinner Set, just at $48++ per pax!

You get a three course set meal, starting with a Burratina di Puglia - perfectly portioned so that you don’t have to share. Pictured is the main, Boeuf’s Siganture Aged Ribeye Steak Frites, was well grilled with its medium-rare tender with a slight chew. There was a good amount of flavour and juiciness in the steak, with layers of fat in between. The meal was finished off with a creme brûlée, a simple creamy and sweet ending that wrapped everything up nicely.

Medium rare rump cap felt a bit too tough to my liking, and the flavours of the meat didn’t come through enough. It might’ve been rubbed with the basic pepper and salt, but the overall dish felt bland. The vegetables on the side were well-executed though.

A nice savoury side with a thinly coated batter and spice flavours coming through. It had a slight spicy and herbaceous tinge to the batter which was quite enjoyable, but I did think it was a tad dry.

A very well-executed and interesting starter. The sake poached tofu was soft, silky, and lightly coated with a thin fried batter dashed with aonori salt, which gave a nice savouriness to every cube of tofu. The dip was a refreshing combination of century egg and ginger sauce, spring onion and tobiko roe. While I personally couldn’t really put a finger to the complex flavours of the dip, I enjoyed how it paired with the tofu. They have another option of having the tofu with harbanero, but I’d recommend this pretty unique alternative!

Extremely rich mushroom soup with 4 kinds of different mushrooms - Portobello, Button, and Porcini Mushroom, Grilled Shimeji. Drizzled with a bit of truffle chive oil to give a delightful aroma. the texture of the soup was smooth with a thick consistency. A pretty decent and appetising starter.

This chicken nanban was one of the best versions I have tasted. The chicken was fried till hot and crispy, and the huge chunks were extremely juicy. And the most important factor — the nanban sauce, truly hit the spot. It was a wee tangy, a good amount of creamy, and the generous bits of cucumber and onion in the sauce gave a delightful crunch. Loved how this simple dish combined the sauce and chicken to give such a brilliant flavour. I couldn’t get enough of this!

A nice appetiser for the price, especially with the thinly battered crisp ones. I definitely wished that the oysters were juicer though, as it was a bit on the drier side.

Didn’t intend to get this but looking at how this was so skilfully made behind the glass, I was too enticed. The tamago was light and fluffy, and slightly juicy with each bite. There was a delightful sweet dashi like flavour seeping through the egg layers, and the generous amount of salmon roe added that little seafood tinge to it. Highly recommend if you enjoy tamago!

A fusion of the classic tiramisu with fruits. Actually really enjoyed how this turned out. It was not too sweet a dessert, and the sponge was strong in both espresso and alcohol flavour, retaining a strong tiramisu element even as it was complemented with a light fruitiness.

Compared to their wanton noodles, I’m more a fan o Mei Yuen’s roasted duck noodles. The duck meat was beautifully roasted with a nice braised flavour, and the duck meat was tender to my liking. The springy egg noodles were doused in a savoury sauce (dark sauce based) which made every mouthful feel like goodness.

Springy wanton noodles at a traditional coffee shop located along Katong. This wanton mee was pretty decent, with a good amount of flavour in every element - the char siew, wantons, and white sauce.

Rate:🌟🌟🌟

This soup was unexpectedly revitalising, comforting, and nourishing all in one. $7.30 might not seem like a palatable price considering the location, but the richness and creaminess of the soup, on top of the generous amount of ingredients - fish maw, pig stomach, and very tender chicken meat, made this feel like a steal. If you love rich, collagen-like creamy soup, I will highly highly recommend this!
