Pince and Pints Restaurant and Bar is a restaurant specialized in lobsters! There are two branches in Singapore, and we went to the Duxton Road branch on a Saturday for lunch. Reservation was easy at the restaurant's website. Once your reservation is confirmed, they will send you a confirmation by email. Pretty efficient.
The restaurant takes up two shop houses in the conservation area, one for the bar, one for the restaurant. The seating capacity is about 30-40 people. The interior is simple but cosy. It is a good place for a few friends gathering for a meal and some drinks.
When I checked their menu online, the cheapest dish was $58.00++, but when I got to the restaurant, they actually have a lunch set menu, which offers some sets at more affordable prices. I took a picture of the menu for your reference here. I am not sure whether they change this lunch menu from time to time, so it is best for you to check with the restaurant before hand.
I ordered their lobster in Lemon Beurre Blanc sauce. What is beurre blanc sauce? Google's answer is:
Beurre blanc — literally translated from French as "white butter" — is a hot emulsified butter sauce made with a reduction of vinegar and/or white wine (normally Muscadet) and grey shallots into which cold, whole butter is blended off the heat to prevent separation.
A picture is worth a thousand words. It is better for you take a look for yourself. The food was artistically arranged for the best presentation. Wow...I almost mistook it as the Japanese flower arrangement. It is so picturesque that I almost didn't want to destroy such a beautiful piece of art.
The lobster was muscular. When I poked it with my fork, it was like poking a muscle hunk's biceps. I suspect the lobster must have done a lot of heavy-lifting to build that muscle. The mashed potato was simmering in the fragrant beurre blanc sauce. Butter and mashed potato are a perfect match, with the addition of wine, that's a sure-fire recipe for great taste, which is very true in this case.
We arrived at the restaurant at 12.00 noon, by the time we finished our lunch, it was already 1.50pm. The wait time was pretty long, probably because the preparation process was complex. Please take this into account if you consider dining there.
Just in case you didn't notice, the set lunch comes with a soft drink and a dessert.
Overall, I like the food and enjoyed it greatly.
