I have been wanting to try this dessert place ever since it opened at Mandarin Gallery, but with crowds flocking over the weekend, the opportunity never really occurred.
As we were celebrating a friend's birthday, we decided to head to the Antoinette outlet at Penhas Street located opposite Lavender MRT. To me it is odd to have a dessert place at this location but it turned out to be a lovely venue on a Friday evening; a great place to avoid the weekend crowd in town, yet being close enough to the city to be a central place to meet.
Antoinette is such a pretty little place, where a girl will feel just like a girl, just perfect for brunch, afternoon tea or deserts. They serve all day breakfast, savory and sweet crepes (which are must tries), salads, and mains as well. Included is of course the desserts that they have become known for and a large selection of teas.
We had the crab salad, the roasted chicken crepe, the seafood gratin, the Antoinette cake and Antoinette ice cream. The salad was fresh and beautifully decorated with fresh crab meat, the chicken crepe was spectacular, especially with the rich sauce, the seafood gratin came with fresh mussels, squid and prawns. The Antoinette cake and ice cream are both made of Earl Grey flavor, which was an accidental repetition. But the birthday gal didn't like overly sweet desserts, so it was an exception. Overall we spent about $35 a person which is fairly decent for all the food we had. Would I come here? Most certainly! It's a great place to hang out especially during off peak periods with a book on hand. I just didn't like the outside area where the buses stop and pick up passengers to Malaysia; making it incredibly dusty.
