Visited on 17 Sep 2016 (Sat). For some of you who do not know about J65, this restaurant has actually replaced the very popular former Cafebiz at Traders Hotel. They have renamed to J65 at Hotel Jen Tanglin. J stands for Jen, while 65 stands for our Singapore country code. Haha!

Coffee / Tea / Hot Chocolate Station

This was my first time to see this premium tea brand called "Zesta Connoisseur Collection"  at hotel buffet, with 6 selections that day (English Breakfast, Green Tea, Earl Grey, Peach, Darjeeling & Peppermint).

It was rare to see Hot Chocolate provided at hotel buffet! Wow, diners here are really spoilt for choices!!!

Cappuccino! Hmm.. Too much milk and foam

Overall Impression: The service here was quite good, the staff will come to clear the plates regularly. Though the food here is not that fantastic, but for lunch buffet at $31++ per person with wide variety of beverages including hot chocolate, ice tea and fruit juice, wide variety of nice desserts and decent food quality, this is still a very Value For Money Buffet! 

Hotel ambience + 4 star hotel service + wide variety food and nice dessert selection, go where to find leh????? :-)

(This is for Far East Plaza Outlet)

Opening Hours: Daily: 11.30am to 9.30pm

Visited on 12 Sep 2016 (Mon - Public Holiday). Saveur is a casual dining restaurant that serves High Quality French Cusine at very affordable prices! They're located at outside Far East Plaza facing the road.

This is a very casual dining restaurant with very simple settings and all the tables are very close to each other, so this place is more for family or friends rather than couples on a date, unless you don't mind the table beside can hear your conversation. Note: This is not an atas restaurant.

You can see their small open kitchen.

We ordered 1 set of Three Course Set Dinner

Starter: 

Salmon Confit

We were really startled by this salmon confit. It was extremely tender, juicy and melt in the mouth!!! Don't worry this was not raw, it's cooked, yet so soft... Complemented so well with salty seaweed and chives atop to enhance the whole taste! Served alongside was the refreshing apple and fennel salad. The BEST Starter that we had in our foodie life!

Main Course: 

Half Oven Roasted Chicken

Omg we were blown away by this dish too. I never thought an oven roasted chicken can be this amazing! The sauce that they used for marinating the chicken was utterly awesome that will make you lingering for more. The meat was very tender including the breast meat, as most chicken breast meat at other places were quite tough. The chicken was roasted to perfection! The half portion chicken was quite big too. Overall, thumbs up for this dish!

Dessert: 

Chocolate & Hazelnut

Chocolate mousse with crushed hazelnut, broken raspberries, chocolate tuile and hazelnut praline. This chocolate dessert was very rich but thankfully there were crushed hazelnut and broken raspberries on it to give u a rich chocolate with sourness taste to relieve some richness.

Top Up $3++ for Coffee

They served those very normal type of coffee..

Ala Carte Starters Menu

Ala Carte Order:

Mushroom Soup ($4.90++)

I thought the mushroom soup was those common creamy mushroom soup that you can find anywhere. So I was really delighted to see this mushroom soup was served like a cappuccino in a cup. This warm and comforting soup inside was thick and robust! Must try!

Ala Carte Main Course Menu

Ala Carte Order:

Duck Confit ($14.90++)

This is their signature dish at Saveur. We usually have to pay double of this price for duck confit at most restaurants, so it's really value for money to eat quite high quality duck confit here for only $14.90++. The meat of the duck confit was a tad tough on certain part while some were really very tender. The exterior skin was crispy with very nice marinated taste. I really love their mashed potato and their delicious sauteed mushrooms here too!

Ala Carte Desserts Menu

Beverages Menu

Wine/Beer Menu

Overall Impression: The staff here were all very young teenagers with good and polite service, but we were unfortunately served by an auntie whose service was like those kopitiam service - unrefined, no smile, served the dish on your table in a rough manner. We were quite shocked to see this kind of service at Saveur. So try to get the service from those young staff if possible. 

I really have no complaint about their food quality. Every single dish is well-executed and has caught our heart. We usually have to dress up in formal wear to go fine dining restaurants to have fine dining food. But at saveur, you can wear whatever you want, even bermudas while enjoying your fine-dining food. Haha!

There is no other better place that serves high quality french food at such wallet-friendly prices. If you have a budget for celebration or just want to have some good food but don't want to break your wallet, this is the place for you. But do note that there is no ambience here and will be noisy when it's crowded. This place is always full house especially dinner time. Enjoy the good food and do make your reservations online early!
