We ordered a set lunch (can be shared with two to three people, depending on the menu) that comes with a salad or soup, the main course, and a dessert. After finishing the set lunch, a plate of Onglet Poele (onglei-po-lei) came next in line, then the homemade fries and a plate of Kouign Aman (kween-aman).
Everything might seem a bit overpriced but when you start on slicing the meat or having your first bite at a certain piece of food served, you will think that everything that you paid for is worth it.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to take pictures of everything we ordered because my mom immediately sliced the slab of meat in the Onglet Poele and the one in the set lunch but it's okay. Instead, I took a picture of the last one we ordered: Kouign Aman.

When you dig your fork into the Breton, a thick and sweet cream will ooze out of the puncture and you will surely savor the balancing of the sweet and spicy (because there is a strong hint of cinnamon in it). It's actually the usual description of the perfect fries to the majority: crunchy on the outside but soft and tender on the inside. The salted caramel ice cream feels good on the mouth and the rock salt embedded in it enhances the rich flavor of the surprisingly cold but NOT FROZEN concoction. Now for the caramel disc- it is crunchy and also has the right amount of sweetness in it.
If only I get another chance to visit Brasserie Cicou again, I am definitely going to take a picture of everything we ordered so that I could show you how beautifully they presented each food that also has the same beauty that accompanies its taste.
Let me explain the mystery behind the name. It's a sweet treat composed of two discs of Breton (a warm, cream-filled butter cake) topped with a salted caramel ice cream and a crystallized sugar or a caramel disc (or whatever you call it). It's a hot-and-cold dessert and for your information, it only costs 310 pesos. Sulit! :) You'd be craving for it over and over again once you try it. Bon appetit!
