Steak & Fries at L'Entrecôte

Thought we would stop by L'Entrecôte The Steak and Fries Bistro at its Duxton Hill outlet. That should be quieter than the Customs House venue which wouldn't be ideal if it rains. At least there're two tables along the five-foot-way at the Duxton Hill that are totally sheltered. 

Couldn't resist the steak tartare on roasted bone marrow. Absolutely arteries-busting delicious. The man wanted crab croquettes and passed on the oysters. I had a bite of it. I skipped the salad; it's just leaves and I'm not fond of eating leaves in this way. I took some and passed the rest to the man. 

For the month of March, to celebrate the restaurant surviving 15 years in Singapore's fickle scene, the diners' every second steak is priced at $29++. That's a real deal! So we opted for their signature L'Entrecôte steak. It's a striploin and is quite tasty. We asked for the sauce to be served at the side. I do not like my steak to be smothered in sauce. Ugh. I usually prefer my steaks to be served clean, with just salt and pepper. 

There was apple crumble for dessert, but I didn't want that much of it. The wine was my dessert. The restaurant poured out two complimentary glasses of calvados for us. I took a sip. It's a lovely gesture but the contents and their flavor profile aren't quite my thing. It has been a while since we visited an old-school casual steakhouse like this. Dunno if many of them would survive.
