Antoinette @ Standard Mandarin Gallery, Singapore

Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone.


How has the Water Dragon been treating you lot in addition to then far?


I kinda experience similar Stella who lost her groove equally my zeal to weblog is a footling waning...but similar all proficient people, I improve larn dorsum inward the saddle chop-chop or else, I reckon I volition last fined in 1 lawsuit again for weblog abandonment issues.


I'm clearing the mount of backlog...including posts I had from concluding twelvemonth during a whirlwind trip to Singapore. Since one-half of the identify unit of measurement is there, unremarkably fourth dimension is devoted to them but I exercise create exercise to sneak some fourth dimension out to depository fiscal establishment stand upwards for out this identify Antoinette.







The French may plough upwards their noses to this Laduree doppelganger-like cafe but it seems this identify is in addition to then hot that you lot take away to queue for at to the lowest degree thirty minutes or to a greater extent than to grade a tabular array hither (they don't have got reservations hither different their other outlet). Designed similar a French boudoir amongst a matte gilt ceiling, chandeliers in addition to dark in addition to white sketches, it makes a pleasant identify to partake a cuppa provided you lot have got ounces of patience for the long wait.


One affair you lot volition honour is the clientele is predominantly woman someone amongst a scattering of faithful boyfriends or hubbies inward tow. And...maybe because I was at that topographic point but earlier Xmas, they were all dressed to kill for tea for major camwhoring sessions. Singaporeans, delight enlighten me..is that the norm in addition to they follow Tokyo where the girls similar to clothes upwards for tea sessions?






Since the tum was rather total from lunch, I settled for French Toast amongst salty caramel.


Made from rich buttery brioche, this came amongst a vanilla seed studded whipped cream. I rather enjoyed this - mopping the decadent caramel amongst but the correct hint of saltiness amongst my fluffy butter laden bread.


All unopen to me, most people were ordering the breakfast items - all 24-hour interval breakfast choices amongst eggs,  24 hr baguettes, blinis (not shaped similar pocket-sized ones it seems but pancake sized) in addition to eggs including an Egg Florentine. Another pop pick seemed to last pasta amongst egg, gild sandwiches. The Queen of French Republic may plough inward her grave though equally there's burgers inward the menu. Maybe she tin shipping away last appeased amongst sweetness in addition to savoury crepes or improve still...her favourite cake.





In front end of the eating theatre stands an enticing array of sweetness treats - Religieuse of caramel amongst fleur de sel (Looking prim amongst her nun's wimpole), Saint Honore L'Amour topped amongst a ruddy rose petal, mont blancs (chestnuts mountains), Le Royale amongst its night chocolate cloak, in addition to etc. There are too an array of jewel-like macarons. On the side table, are the meringues, kouglof,  caneles in addition to etc to tempt you. So much to direct from, I tin shipping away prototype those who dearest sweets volition larn crazy here.


I settle for the namesake, Antoinette. It is essentially a milk chocolate mousse infused amongst Earl Grey tea amongst a chocolate sponge cake in addition to a chip of squeeze within. On its own, it tin shipping away last rather rich but pop the berry on overstep in addition to a dribble of raspberry sauce seems to residual out the decadent chocolate goodness amongst a striking of tanginess.





In addition, I did pack some macarons habitation that I close forgot. The babe bluish boxes fifty-fifty resemble Laduree amongst their gilt twirls on the side...just that it is non inward pastel green. In general, the macarons were generously filled amongst ganache but flavours were a footling on the artificial side I felt. Moreover, if you lot spot the pictures, the shells look to have got a grainy texture.


To amount it up, I gauge this is your adjacent best affair without flight to gay Paree for the existent thing. Service is efficient in addition to brisk. This happens to last business office of Pang Kok Keong's sweetness empire. Formerly from Les Amis in addition to the homo behind the Canele, this Parisian themed patisserie joins his Pique Nique, a pose dorsum diner.
