Getting lost in the dessert trolley
While La Vache’s menu is superlatively simple and stripped-down when it comes to its savoury items, guests have plenty of options when it comes to sweets.
Post-meal, the staff will wheel a trolley to your table — one that is gloriously stocked up with three shelves of desserts for your consideration.
The dessert trolley features an assortment of French classics, such as raspberry millefeuille (S$16) and ice cream, along with some digestifs to help the heavy meal go down more smoothly.
Given all the options, what should you order?
We say: Make a beeline for the profiteroles (S$16) — La Vache’s rendition of the classic cream-filled choux pastry is as solid as it comes.
Soft and airy choux pastry, stuffed with fragrant cream, then finished with thick, decadent chocolate? Simple, but absolutely delicious.
However, if the stomach calls out for something sharp to cut the richness of the meal, the lemon meringue tart (S$16) won’t fail you either.
Silky and vivacious lemon custard, underscored by dainty meringue and a crumbly tart base — a great postscript to a heavy meal.
No matter if you’re a lover of steak, fries, or dessert, or just someone looking for a new date-spot, we’d recommend a visit to La Vache.
You might regret it, though — only because you’ll find yourself utterly preoccupied with stuffing your face with fries.
