Le Soleil

Le Soleil, a popular upscale Vietnamese restaurant at the Royal Garden Hotel, is presenting an exciting early summer menu prepared by its Vietnamese chef Do Thi Thuy Linh. The menu bears strong Northern Vietnamese influences, which tend to be rich in taste with more spicy- sour notes than its southern counterpart.
 
The menu features popular appetisers such as Rice Paper Rolls with Vietnamese Sausage and Shrimps ($178), Crispy-fried Saigon Spring Roll ($178) and Steamed Rice Flour Pouches with Minced Pork & Dried Shrimp ($178). For lighter fare, the Baby Lotus Root and Mixed Fruits Salad ($138), which is crunchy and refreshing, and Stir-fried Minced Pork with Herbs Served with Lettuce ($168) are both excellent choices.
 
One of our pleasantest surprises was Crispy Soft-Shell Crab with Curry Sauce in Farm Bread ($208), in which a delicious mild curry sauce brings out the taste and texture of the crunchy crab. Next came A4 Miyazaki Wagyu Beef Noodles in Soup ($298 ), which was a smash hit among all our party. Between the savoury soup base and the well-marbled beef, we consumed the noodles with alacrity. The Braised Pork Belly and Rice Noodle in Soup ($178) is also tasty; with the lime -based sour soup adding a welcome tangy flavour.
For desserts, we had Baked Alaska ($108) and Butterfly Pea and Coconut Jelly ($78) which were mutually complementary.
Be sure to indulge in Le Soleil's list of refreshing drinks. We tried several, including Salted Plum with Lime-Lemonade ($65), Ice Tricolor Coconut Milk ($65), and Fresh Thailand Young Coconut ($68), plus Ca Phe Phin ($70 ), house speciality Vietnamese-style coffee that retains a distinctive French lineage.
 
Le Soleil also serves an Afternoon Tea Set of a platter filled with savouries, sweet items, scones, cakes and other delights. It’s a leisurely way to pass a summer’s afternoon.
 
For a light and refreshing summertime meal, a visit to Le Soleil to check out its summer menu ticks all the boxes. Enjoy.
