Saybons: French Food Factory

By Fion Chua

If you have run out of ideas for a quick bite while on the go, this post is for you!

Background

Saybons, a Singapore-based chain of cafés, was started "with the objective of making French food affordable and accessible to everyone". As for the name 'Saybons', inspiration was drawn from the phrase "c'est bon", meaning "it's good" in French.

My Choice

What I had decided to try out from their menu was the crêpe with mushroom, egg and cheese, which belongs to the 'Savoury' category out of the two available, which are namely 'Savoury' and 'Dessert'.

Thoughts

Personally, I would still consider it as a snack, despite the fact that it is savoury, rather than a sweet dessert. It was not able to serve as a filling meal as it was lacking in terms of ingredients. For a price of $5.90, I was expecting at least a little more ingredients.

Taste & Texture

The overall taste was not bad, as the mushroom, egg and cheese complemented one another for a combination that resembled comfort food made at one's home, despite the crêpe being a little too thin and stale.

If you are interested in finding out for yourself what street food the French eat on a daily basis while out and about but haven't had the chance to go there, this would be a good and interesting start while you run your errands here on the sunny island of Singapore until then.
