Antoinette
A place for good food, great pastries and decadent desserts! Located at 30 Penhas Road and Mandarin Gallery.
Wide array of desserts on display!
Head Chef is Chef Pang who once worked in Canele, another paradise of desserts.
Chef Pang's quality Macarons that rivals those of the best.
Some of its pastries and meringues. Always a feast for eyes.
A special Christmas menu accompanied by a cup
of hot chocolate. The hot chocolate came along with Antoinette's
breakast, however it was nothing to rave about. Had better hot
chocolates elsewhere.
Well, honestly I had forgotten about the name
of this dessert. However, its taste will forever be imprinted in my
mind. The fine dessert first hits your taste buds with sweetness
followed by a tinge of sourness. You will then taste a slight crunch of
caramel bits (or so I think) and finally it ends off with a slight
sweetness again from the cake in between.
Just got the Name of this dessert courtesy of an avid fan of Antoinette! ^^
Dessert Name - THEOBROMA
Dark chocolate cremeux, dark chocolate mousse, exotic jelly, hazelnut
dacquoise biscuit, flourless chocolate cake, crispy chocolate, dark
chocolate crunchy pearls, salted vanilla caramel.
The main feature of this feature are actually
the 2 Macarons in the back. The one in light brown is known as
"Antoinette" and the chocolaty one is called "Grand Cru". Antoinette is
an infusion of Earl Grey tea mousse and raspberry coulis in the middle.
Grand Cru is a Single Origin 58% Dark Chocolate Macaron. However, for
chocolate lovers, you may be disappointed as it does not possess the
intense and multi-layered flavours of chocolates from either Valrhona or
Michel Cluizel. But overall, the Macarons are crisp on the outside,
chewy on the inside and not too sweet. A must have!
Mini Viennoiseries that came with Antoinette's
breakfast. Nothing much to rave about as it wasn't buttery enough to
capture my attention. However, I felt it is a perfect match to the
well-balanced breakfast platter.

Antoinette's breakfast is great! The bacons
were grilled to perfection, not too salty nor tough. The sausage was
flavourful, felt like it was hand-made. The highlight was the scrambled
eggs which we requested at an additional charge of $3. It was
exceptionally fluffy, soft and not too moist. Finishing it off was the
salad dressed with balsamic vinegar which totally erased all the guilt
feeling and richness of the meal.
