Antoinette @ Penhas Road
Cafe hunt with two of my friends today and we chose Antoinette of our choice. My mood got dampen a little when it started pouring so heavily at Lavander and I have no where that I can walk over to my destination and I don't want to miss this opportunity of tasting Antoinette's food. Lucky the rain got slimmer after a while and I carried my aunty like broken umbrella and make my way to meet the rest.
You might know Antoinette for its Orchard branches but you really have to check out the one at Penhas Road. Just a 3 minute walk from Lavender MRT, the cafe is hidden in an area where you would least expect bumping into an exquisite looking cafe. The interior is one of the nicest I have seen around and it looks as classy.
My friend loves his all-day breakfast so this was an obvious choice. Served alongside the usual bacon strips, sausage and eggs were a trio of mini pastries, warm and fluffy at every bite. A carbo-licous spread!
Antoinette breakfast ($22): Choice of egg with grilled bacon and sausage, pain de Mie toast, Basket of viennoiseries and orange juice/ coffee/ hot chocolate. Jen sin chose his small little poached eggs and he wondered why does all poached eggs taste so bland? Anyone knows why? But its true that poached eggs doesn't suit my liking cos I don't really eat eggs without seasoning.
It was dinner time but they still have their all day breakfast menu so I decided to go with Savory Blinis with grilled sausage, french butter, grilled tomato and salad ($14.50). The sausage is really fragrant and juicy. The pancake is soft and fluffy unlike what you would get at fast food outlet. The texture is good but it would be perfect if it was sweeter and more fragrant!
More breakfast-like items! the two differing only in the choice of smoked salmon or sausage. Savoury Blinis with Smoked Salmon, French Butter, Sour Cream and Salad ($16.50).
My enormous Meringue for only $4.50. I'm so excited upon seeing this and decided to order one to try. Getting ready with my fork and knife, I did an embarrassing incident infront of my friends after hearing from the waitress that this meringue is soft on the inner side. I plunged my fork ad knife real hard that all the small little crumbs smashed into pieces. So my dear meringue is all over the place. HAHA. Joke for the day! But to
be true, its so sweet and really taste like marshmallow but a harder version of that.
The place may seems like a very posh place where all the prices are very high but I would say that the prices are still in the reasonable range for a place like this. There are higher prices that sells similar stuffs as them. I would definitely go back again some day to do a catch up with an old friend of mine. Good to try!
Till then.
