Nice place

Went there with 5 other friends, got the window seats. Very nice view of Clarke Quay. The decor was like a country-side home, well suiting the name Ma Maison,,
2 out of the 3 staff we encountered, spoke japanese accented english, very cute.
We ordered escargot, clam chowder, assorted sausages, curry rice, squid ink pasta, tonkatsu set, omu rice w brown sauce and omu rice w white sauce.
Escargot was seasoned with butter and garlic, rather well done, garlic not overpowering as some other establishments would do it..clam chowder was tasty too, with bacon bits (i think). The assorted sausages wasn't memorable though, neither was the curry rice.
I found the omu rice with brown sauce an interesting mix of tastes. Savoury brown sauce on the outside, slightly sweet ketchup coated rice wrapped inside an omelete. I enjoyed it but wish there were more ingredients though.
The omu rice with white sauce on the other hand tasted like what you would expect from a white sauce pasta. I liked it, as it had chicken bits inside, unlike the one with the brown sauce which was just rice, egg and sauce.
The squid ink pasta was good in a subtle way. Not too oily, spaghetti was cooked just right, not too soggy nor hard. Taste wise, good. It's however not for people used to tomato based pasta though.
Dessert menu was rather sad though, think only 4 items, so we didn't try that...

Nice place great food

first time here...
the place was a bit small and you will find it cosy place and you will not remember you are in a shopping mall... i like that feel..

all the food we ordered were great but my friend do not like the garlic toast... they find it too hard and dry.
but maybe if you have it with a bowl of hot soup it should taste fine.

there were 8 of us and we are like squeezing among ourselves...
not recommended for more than 6 pax gathering...

Reservation recommended.. their tel is 63278122

Homely and Unique

The place is really a gem in the Clarke Quay area. I waited outside from 1730hrs and found that a lot of Japanese families strolled by enquiring what time the restaurant opened. Needless to say, the restaurant was promptly full of Jap families by about 1815hrs.

My group ordered a Tonkatsu set, squid ink pasta, seafood paella, gratin and some others..

Since it's been quite a while since I relished Ma Maison's food, this review won't specifically state down the exact details.

Tonkatsu set - The meat was tender, juicy and quite a delight. The portion was decent and it really made my mouth water when I took the first bite. The set comes with really cute sauce containers (and a salt grinder) which really boosts the atmosphere. Still I found that the variety in the set itself was quite lacking, having only garnishing, rice, soup and the pork itself. The black sesame ice-cream was quite good though!

Paella - I wasn't the one who tried it, but I was told that it was really a gem. "Awesome" as my pal put it. Still, after he finished the entire plate, he mentioned that the salt in the dish got a bit overwhelming after some time.

Gratin - Was good, except the taste was very strong and may not suit some tastebuds.

Squid Ink Pasta - I ate this after the tonkatsu set, so this naturally wasn't as appetising as it would have been should I have started on it first. Still, with some compensation, I'd say this dish isn't the best the restaurant has to offer.

Ambience - Really fantastic, but I gave a 9/10 because the place is a bit crammed. I must say, however, that the decorations are REALLY elaborate.

Service - Their service staff all speak with weird accents, but they're all REALLY polite and delightful!

The memory still makes me salivate

I ordered escargot and cuttlefish ink pasta on my visit a few weeks ago. It was a nice meal whose memory still tempts me to return to try the other dishes.

The escargot are served on a plate under which some salt (likely impregnated with alcohol) is set alight. The snails were a bit chewy and the garlic butter did not taste strongly of the aforementioned herb. A nice touch is that the shells are cracked so it's easier to dig them out.

The pasta was al dente, and fried olio style in the squid ink. It's delicious in a subtle way, even though the random slices of cuttlefish, onions and raw mushrooms aren't that easy to spot - but their flavours were able to stand out as a result of the pasta's mildness. I have to agree with a friend who went to the Bugis outlet that it's the nicest version I've had.

Service was friendly and attentive, and kudos for the unusual decor and the oft-mentioned 'keys'. I'd love to return to try a hamburger or tonkatsu.
