Fig &amp; Peach $10 Grilled peach, grilled fig, taleggio cheese, yuzu dressing Fantastic and light.&nbsp; It is traditional, I can&#8217;t say it is groundbreaking but it is just right.&nbsp; The fruits are sweet which pairs well with the savouriness and umami of the cheese. Gambas $16 Chilli prawn, garlic, coriander, chorizo Another fantastic appetiser.&nbsp; This is the best Gambas Prawns I have had so far.&nbsp; I don&#8217;t usually like Gambas Prawns.&nbsp; It is usually too spicy and worse, it is usually greasy.&nbsp;&nbsp; The chef has kept this Gambas light in oil and spiciness.&nbsp; In addition, he has cleverly added chorizo for the added dimensions of savouriness and umami.&nbsp; Most importantly, and what turned this dish from a &#8220;no&#8221; to a &#8220;yes&#8221; for me was the considerable amount of chopped coriander on top.&nbsp; They add freshness and balance the spiciness and oil. Canard du Ciel $22 Braised duck leg, duck breast, seared four gras, pommes yam, coriander port wine sauce&nbsp; Nothing wrong here.&nbsp; The skin of the duck is crispy.&nbsp; The mashed pommes is actually made of taro which I really appreciate.&nbsp; Taro has a lower glycemic index than potatoes so you don&#8217;t get a sugar high and feel sleepy.&nbsp; You get to remain alert.&nbsp; I really appreciate that.&nbsp;&nbsp; Apple Tartin $10 Roast apple, cinnamon tartlet, vanilla gelato&nbsp; The crust of the tartlet is really delicious &#8212; it was really firm and crusty.&nbsp; The vanilla gelato was delicious too.&nbsp; I sat in the al fresco area so I really like a cold something to round off the meal.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am certainly glad to have gotten acquainted with La Belle Epoque.&nbsp; The food is good. The price-to-portion ratio is fantastic. La Belle Epoque, Singapore 63 Boat Quay, Singapore 049851 Tel: 6732 1687 Labelleepoquesg | Facebook"}
