5 things I will miss at Petite Menu:
1. Deep fried soft shell crab with the killer salted egg sauce. Every meal here must start with a double portion of this wonderful cholesterol bomb.
2. Letting Chef Nixon spring a surprise menu on us. Jerusalem artichoke soup with poached egg and addictive fried baby shrimps? Chef knows me too well. Without him, Petite Menu won’t be the same no more.
3. Super affordable haute cuisine. Tell me, where to find $36++ for a good quality 4 course dinner these days? And by good quality, I mean fresh and perfectly seared scallops, threadfin, cod fish, halibut etc etc.
4. The pretty and artistic plating… How come chefs can style a dish so effortlessly by randomly sprinkling garnishes here and there but when I try to do the same, all I create is a mess?! #obviouslynochefgeneinme
5. Of course, my favouritest deconstructed blackforest dessert forever and ever. Chef has passed on the recipe to K so I’m patiently waiting *hint hint* haha.
Petite Menu and Chef Nixon, you will be dearly missed!

My Food Sirens II 
when are they closing?
The restaurant is not closing. Will still be there as part of the hotel’s lobby cafe. However, the management is not going to continue the concept anymore and chef is leaving. From what I heard, they will switch to serving local delights such as laksa and easy to prep sandwiches etc etc. Not sure what haute items on the menu will be kept though (I heard blackforest may be staying). Such a shame….
When is this change due to happen? Wanted to try this after reading your past posts, not sure if I can still try the chef Nixon’s works after reading this -.-“”
Has the chef left already? Any idea where he’s going?
Can definitely still try his food! He will be at Portico (featured in the sunday times last week).
why are they closing?
See above 🙂
Been wanting to give this place a try. Have to get my ass there fast before the concept is tweaked…
I wonder is it because the concept doesn’t appeal to diners….but to change it to local delights is so predictable and boring…(to me at least) hahahaha

I have absolutely no idea why they think the idea won’t work… And I totally agree with you about the predictable and boring (yes, boring especially!) part 🙂
