When the much talked about Antoinette opened sometime around late May this year, I’m pretty sure it got some of us excited. Well-known former executive pastry chef of Les Amis Group’s Canelé, Pang Kok Keong is the man behind Antoinette which is situated near Lavender mrt station. This post is long overdue actually. Heh heh 😛 The food bloggers planned a meetup since Elaine and Glenn were back, separately (lol), from New York and Perth, for a short stay! 🙂 I will let the photos do the talking ok? The mains were taken by me while misterchewy shot the desserts! I liked my eggs florentine and the desserts were generally nice 😀
I once stumbled upon an interesting question on Twitter: “What do you think of people who take photos of their food?” So what does the above photo tell you? 🙂
Heh heh. It just so happened that the both of us were craving breakfast food for dinner 😛
My classic eggs florentine was served with poached eggs on toasted brioche which seemed like a nice alternative to the usual english muffins. It kinda felt as if I was eating eggs with toasted bread though. So.. On second thought, I think I’d still prefer my eggs wth muffins 😛 I particularly liked the creamy hollandaise sauce which had a very mild sweet sourish lemony taste.
Egg with grilled bacon, sausage, pain de mie toast, basket of viennoiseries and orange juice. Definitely something to fill you up!
For the health freak in you, (oops Elaine, I’m not implying that you are one) there’s always smoked salmon with lots of green.
It has been a long time since I last had gnocchi and I liked it for its doughy chewy texture! Can’t remember who ordered this but it sure looks good!
This is another dish which I would very much love to try if I ever pop by Antoinette again.
And now we have the desserts! Whoohoo! If you love chestnuts, you will love this. The strands of sweet nutty chestnut puree were simply irresistable!
This is really pretty! Something for you to hold and admire for a long time before you finally decide to devour it 😛 A very sweet-smelling/tasting, girly dessert which I did enjoy.
When we were eyeing the desserts at the counter, I was like.. OMG! Magnum ice cream! (Except that it was a little more bling bling with that layer of shimmery gold) We just had to try this! Hahaha! It’s chocolate. Eh what did you expect?
A dainty piece of cake. Nice to look at but it was kinda dry and just average, really.
Misterchewy and I liked this! Smooth, moist layers and a crunchy praline base. Might be a little too sweet for some people.
Sesame, Pitaschio, Brittany , $5 for 3
Chloe, Charlotte $5.60 for 2
I tried half of a sesame macaron and another half.. Oh shucks I cant remember which.. Nevermind. All the other macarons didn’t interest me much except for the sesame one. Haha I think macarons are perfect only during tea time (or high tea if you insist). It’s too sweet to eat more than two macarons in one sitting without pairing them with tea.
These were all the desserts we conquered that night! Not sure about the rest but I almost went crazy. Sugar high perhaps!
This was taken BEFORE desserts. Not high on sugar yet. LOL.
Meet the gang!

Such skinny food reviewers. Don’t understand how it’s possible…
eh heh heh heh! I shall thank you on behalf of the skinny ones! 😀
wow the gold “magnum” is very pretty! and beats the actual magnum gold in the gold factor
yup we were all captivated by it! 🙂
Wow, Chef Pang is really opening up many places all around town! Looks like a nice place to go to. With Macarons served there, I’m definitely headed down. I’m just wondering how do the macarons here compare to the ones at Canele ?
Yup someone interviewed him about it and his reply was that this is his dream, so why wait? Hmm the macarons are pretty comparable. Maybe you should test and do a review soon! 😀
Your pictures look great!!! This place has got to be on my to do next list!
Thanks YO! your photos are pretty awesome too 🙂 Yeah i’m looking forward to reading your review!
