And the shops remain there forever, the owners are able to raise their children and make careers out of it. They know all their neighbours and they help one another. It&#8217;s a quiet life, simple, maybe even hard, but perhaps also full and satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-instagram\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C5Fk_TtpZ9x\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Everything is about money, capitalism, colourless chain restaurants lacking individuality. That is why when a cafe like <strong>Le Petit Paris<\/strong> pops up, we need to support it. It&#8217;s a beautiful cafe, with its quirky Parisian decor of Cerulean blue and bistro chairs, reminding one of Van Gogh&#8217;s <em>Cafe Terrace at Night<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"1804\" data-attachment-id=\"59712\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/zh\/2024\/03\/29\/le-petit-paris-swan-lake-ave-bedok\/screenshot\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/chef-felicien-and-julia-child.jpg?fit=1284%2C1804&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1284,1804\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Screenshot&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1711663104&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Screenshot&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Screenshot&lt;\/p&gt;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/chef-felicien-and-julia-child.jpg?fit=729%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/chef-felicien-and-julia-child.jpg?resize=1284%2C1804&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59712\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chef Felicien and Julia Child<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a small operation with only one wait staff fronting the floor.

Its base is really mushroom soup, so at the first few sips, it was fungi-savoury then chestnut-sweet. It took some getting used-to, but the hazelnut bits really add an interesting dimension. The soup I thought was a bit too starchy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"6048\" height=\"4032\" data-attachment-id=\"59709\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/zh\/2024\/03\/29\/le-petit-paris-swan-lake-ave-bedok\/duck-confit-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/duck-confit.jpg?fit=6048%2C4032&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"6048,4032\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 12 Pro Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1711648319&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5.1&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.016666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;latitude&quot;:&quot;1.3212888888889&quot;,&quot;longitude&quot;:&quot;103.92421666667&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"duck confit\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/duck-confit.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rubbisheatrubbishgrow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/duck-confit.jpg?resize=6048%2C4032&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59709\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Not your usual duck confit; it&#8217;s baked duck confit parmentier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also tried the<strong> baked duck confit parmentier<\/strong> ($28).

The cheerful way the wait staff treats guests and how the chef greets everyone who comes into the cafe are a testament to the joy that they have. You know the adage &#8220;If you enjoy what you&#8217;re doing, you never work a day in your life.&#8221; That&#8217;s what they are doing. This is a call to action for people to patronise the cafe so that we have more independent cafes like these, with individuality, personality, and delight&#8211;it&#8217;s not all about money&#8211;all over Singapore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Le Petit Paris Menu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
