Verdict:

There was literally a LINE forming outside this place, a sure fire way to attract hungry passerbys looking for food at lunch time. And it certainly did me! The first thing you willl see are loads of people clutching onto their dear, (and delicious looking) waffles and baguettes, exiting the shop with satisfied looks on their faces.

Then....I KNEW....I have to try this!

Here's the interior.

This set up's French, with authentic workers from France themselves! Well, i presume that since they corrected my pronunciation with a noticable accent when i ordered my "Le Fermier". And i heard the specialty is Le Fermier and Le Normand.

The thing that really appeals to everyone, i think, would be the fantastic baguette they bake themselves! It has such a light crispy taste that is rare in any other baguettes or any form of pastry i have ever had! And i that is from a bread lover's perspective. But on the warning note, the baguette is pretty large (about an arm's length). >,-

The ingredients themselves looked pretty "blah" on the board to me, but when i bit into the sandwich, the flavour of the chicken slices, mayo and sprinkles of pepper on top werent what i had expected at all! Its fresh, its simple, its French, and most importantly, it tastes reeeaaallly good the more you gauge into the baguette.

Another thing interesting about the shop would be the wall cork board at the left side of the cashier. You wouldnt believe what it is filled with.

Seriously! Money! From ALL over the world! Imagine how good this place is to attract this many people! And i spotted many Malaysian RMs and i got all excited and started taking pictures. And some were even signed dollars!

Haha! So if you want a take-away bite, just get it from this shop when you're anywhere near Degraves and maybe put YOUR dollar note on the board.

Au Revoir!
