Les Bouchons Revisited @ Ann Siang Hill

wall

After the unsatisfying and unsettling steak meal at Porterhouse as well as fries at Loof, a visit to Les Bouchons beckoned for the best of both worlds. Reservations are still recommended else risk an al fresco seat.

wall

Textured walls.

bread

Bread rolls were still as rock hard as I remember them to be, even with refills.

salad

Salad has gotten from bad to worse with the tongue biting acidic dressing. I could barely finish it after picking at the walnuts.

condiments

Selection of sauces to go with the steak.

steak frites

Ribeye with Herb Butter ($36.90)

I made a request for mine to be medium well expecting medium, knowing well that the French do theirs one grade rare. It came medium well, after all the other medium attempts! Disappointed as it is though the beef was succulent. Somewhat tough at points.

fries

The frites were not as gratifying as before and refills came extra greasy.

Les Bouchons could have lost some of its sparkle.

The first was mersmerizing.
Decent to worse.

Three years worth of revisits and it gets worse than the last. Time to find a steakhouse that remains consistent at least! Oh yes, service? I do not wish to speak of. First, I get a stern “are the photos for your own personal viewing?” and then the waitress spills warm water all over.
