Lately, I’ve become a bit obsessed with cheese. I think it’s an accumulation of my meals at 3-MICHELIN @lesamisrestaurant where on every visit, @manoj_sharmahm has unerringly prepared the most incredible platter from their impressive cheese trolley, and my blissful encounter with the Aged Epoisses and Truffle Brie more recently at @odetterestaurant, another 3-MICHELIN Starred venue. So I wasn’t about to say no when a charming message about sending me cheeses came through from @la_petite_boutique_sg.
Trust the vivacious team to put together the choicest selection in such an attractive style, with fresh figs and berries nestled among their French dairy products. It was honestly camera-ready picture-perfection. Picking a favourite from the lot wasn’t possible as I enjoyed every one of the cheeses for different reasons: the cow’s milk Truffle Brie because it’s indecently rich and aromatic with truffle, the Mobier for its unique history and creaminess, the goat’s milk Selles-sur-Cher from the Centre-Val de Loire region for its salty pungence, the Comte because it offers a mild sweetness and firm chew, and last but not least, the raw cow’s milk Fourme d’ Ambert for that lovely buttery texture and intense flavour.

By the way, to thank the support they received during the Circuit Breaker and Phase 1, @la_petit_boutique_sg is doing a #giveaway on Instagram (closing date to join is 7th July 2020). Why not try your luck at winning one of their three sets of Cheese Box? Do check out the post for details on their Instagram account.
