Summer is in full swing, and seasonal produce has officially reached its peak ripeness. French restaurant Maison Es is celebrating the arrival of summer with the launch of a new a la carte menu, showcasing chef Esther Sham’s version of a fresh French summer — meshed with a few Asian-inspired surprises of her own.

The garden-themed restaurant recently renovated its lounge area, now equipped with cozy sofas with coffee tables for guests to unwind during afternoon tea service. Pre-dinner cocktail sessions are also available this season: guests can help themselves to finger food and creative cocktails, making for a lovely spot for summer social gatherings.

Look out for recommended signatures such as:

- Foie gras terrine topped with kumquat gelee served with pickled dragon fruit
- Texture of asparagus with organic egg yolk served with wild mushrooms, fava beans and black truffle
- Roasted pork shoulder with red wine apple pie served with apple vanilla coulis
- Croutons-coated Hokkaido scallops served with prawns, soy bean puree and citrusy fruit segments
- Saffron and curry spaghetti in Catalan style

The new a la carte menu selections are available now throughout summer.
