Saybons

To all my vegetarian friends out there, Saybons @ Junction 8 offers affordable French food for everyone. 

Saybons is inspired from the French phrase- C'est Bon which means 'it's good' in French. To make it a little easier and unique, we anglicized the phrase and added a 's' at the back. Most people should be able to pronounce this one we guess.

The Interior 

Saybons adopted the light blue colour for their decorations, wall color, and plastic cups to represent a lighter feeling when you enter the restaurant. It's a rather small one comfortable for less than 20 persons. 

The menu are attached right outside the restaurant and one on top of the counter. They basically served from toast bread to soups to savoury crepes as well as dessert crepes. They also offered one of the French favourite, the escargots.

Garlic Herb Butter, Tomato Toast, Pumpkin Soup, Ice Lemon Tea: $7.80

I had the promotion of ordering the Pumpkin soup at $3.90 and additional add-on of two toast and a drink at $3.90. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the Pumpkin soup but it's really not that bad. It's not those watery cheapo soup you get at foodcourt, although the price is affordable.

The toast is neither too hard, crispy nor soft, crunchy and I would come back from their crepes in the near future. It was no doubt a healthy breakfast to start off the day. French-cuisine lovers, fall in now! They have two other outlets at Plaza Singapura and Aljunied.

Morganfield's

As we explored deeper into The Star Vista, rarely, during a lunch visit, we found the catchy promotion board of the Morganfield's rather good and cost-saving. Offering a fresh approach to the old American diner concept, Morganfield's serves a wide array of American-style fare including steaks, pork and lamb chops. 

Top Value Set Lunch from $9.90++ (Mon - Fri)

There wasn't any lunch time crowd judging by the fact that there are way too many options to eat at The Star Vista and so we didn't have to queue.

I ordered the 1/4 Honey Stung Chicken that comes with either the Salad or the Soup of the day and bottomless soft drinks (with a number of variety to choose from). Service was good and efficient and shortly salad was served, accompanied by the main course. 

Salad

1/4 Honey Stung Chicken

The main course wasn't that oily afterall and I do appreciate the chef who took time to evenly fried the chicken. The meat's juicy and not really that dry compared to the normal way it's fried. Although, you probably might want to switch to a more healthier dish, this could be one of the option to try out the next time you visit Morganfield's.
