Finally have a chance to try out the French food at The French Stall.
It was an impromptu decision. Our initial intention was to catch a last min French film in conjunction with the Singapore French Film Festival, but could not get seats. Thus, we ended up at the humble French cuisine outlet, one that I have long heard about but have not had a chance because I have no transport.
It is a little, brick red and white shophouse that sells really authentic French cuisine alongside Serangoon Road, about 5 mins walk from the Farrer MRT station, managed by French Chef Xavier Le Henaff and his Singaporean wife.
It was a pleasant experience. Services was good, with majority of the staff being Filippino, not surprising. Food was good and simple, yet not exaggerating and affordable. Ambience was just right and down-to-earth, though non air-conditioned.
The deco is not fantastic as compared to other French restaurants neither is the hygenie of the toilets. However, it gives a feeling of being back to the French colonial times (thanks to the dimly-lit lampstands along the corridor and the old newspapers cuttings and pictures), enjoying a humble and homely meal after a day of hard work. The meal was especially enticing when you know that you are eating with your loved ones.
I especially love the deserts, which gave me a "woah" and heavenly feeling.
Giant profiteroles with Hot choco sauce (look at the size and the hot choco flowing down the cold vanilla ice-cream. Yummy!)

Choco Souffle (check out the thick hot choco flowing out. It was delicious. Yum Yum)
