While most people came here for the sandwich, I was intrigued by this one and decide to give it a try instead.
It is actually a huge piece of breaded chicken cutlet, topped with Grana Padano, cheddar, spicy homemade arrabbiata sauce together with coleslaw.
It was so tender yet won’t too dry at all, I managed to finish the whole piece but it doesn’t take some effort. Overall still taste great especially with the cheese.
For only $4.50+, this was a really big chocolate danish! I think dark chocolate was used as the filling was slightly bitter. However, this item tasted pretty normal and I would go for the croissant or Kouign Amman for future visits.
Do visit this outlet early because it gets full by the time it is 9 am!
The flavours of the apples and snow pears were infused thoroughly in the soup. The sweetness of the soup may not suit everyone's palate, but I liked it because it is unique and isn't commonly found in many soup stalls outside. The soup was served with numerous slices of apples and snow pears, with four big chunks of tender pork ribs. For under $10, you can get one free refill of the soup, although one bowl was more than enough for me.
Not bad, the sweetness comes from the cranberries and yet it's very well balanced. Bread had a bite but it's huge so gets jelat fast from the cheese. Get it to share
Is this limited edition cos I can't find it on their website
Absolutely delicious though it's whole red beans with a sticky sweet sauce. Cant figure out what it was(brown sugar? Red date?) But it had a really good texture and complexity in the sweetness
Not good. The pork belly was tough and the braising liquid was found wanting, despite the addition of dried cuttlefish? Which was very tough. Very sad for this price
Egg was not bad at all. Chili was good too because it's less spicy than normal without compromising on any of the flavour so you can heap more onto the food without burning your mouth haha
The kway was delicious though, it has a bite and it's made a lot better with the translucent flavourful soup suitably amped up with white pepper. Get it on its own without the overpriced sad claypot pork belly
Overall hits and misses, I won't make a trip here. Come here if you're in the area before/after the crowd, and know damn well exactly what to order
This was highly recommended by the waiter in charge of our table!! The dish comprised a thin-crust pizza served with coppa ham, mushrooms and was topped with truffle oil to give it a delicious fragrance 😋 The thin crust is great for ensuring you have sufficient stomach space for trying Merci Marcel's other signature dishes, such as their ravioli. Priced at $26++, the dish is great for sharing amongst bigger groups. :) If you are keen to try it, do note that this dish isn't served at the Orchard outlet!
This was delicious, the pumpkin sweetness came through, but just enough such that it's still a savoury porridge. The meatballs had a pleasant mushy "fibrous" texture, kinda reminiscent of xlb filling. Ultimately this was a win, but the plain pumpkin porridge only costs 2+, which is what a rational foodie should choose haha(idk if you're allowed to add on ingredients to that, otherwise everyone would do that)
