A halal cafe that's located right in front of Thian Hock Keng temple - such an intriguing yet conventional facet of our country's diversity. Royz et Vous's menu is predominantly Western cafe food, and surprisingly nothing too localised. Nope, no 'fushion' food here apart from this prawn and crayfish pasta with chilli cream sauce.
I've avoided cream pastas like the plague, but I thought this would be similar to a laksa paste pasta. I thought wrong, but not in a bad way. The sauce had a watery consistency, and probably thinner than what you're used to, but just enough for me. The chilli padi's heat was essential to reduce much of dairy richness and so the sauce turned out to be appetising - that's a huge shocker for me. The prawns were crunchy, crayfish chunks sweet and succulent. Worthy of the toque blanche icon!
