Mimolette unveils revamped menu

Mimolette (55 Fairways Dr., 6467-7748) might not be the easiest restaurant to get to, but thanks to a newly revamped menu, making the trip has never been more worthwhile. One notable new standout is a Kurobuta five-spiced pork rack with Vitelot (an ancient type of blue potato) chips with mimolette cheese, haricot and balsamic reduction ($40). Another dish—and the one that got us the most excited on the new menu—was the foie gras ravioli ($18 appetizer, $28 main). These perfect pasta pockets were set afloat in a dreamy cloud of parmiggiano foam and drizzled with irresistible white truffle cream sauce. Even if we had to walk here from Changi, the memory of the earthy, salty, delight on our tongues would be enough to sustain us during the return journey. Dessert has gotten a new look too with homemade pineapple sorbet topped with coconut espuma and fresh strawberries served in a martini glass and fittingly called Pina Colada ($14). Of course, not all change is good as executive Chef Louie Moong wisely demonstrated by leaving his Macaroni and Cheese ($20) in place—with gruyere, mozzarella and emmanthal cheeses, he elevates this common dish to high art. In fact, no matter what you eat, you might want to order one of these just to take home.
