Au Chocolat

Located at level 1 at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, Au Chocolat is a restaurant offering French cuisine and specialize in chocolate and candy. Beside the dining bistro, this confiserie is filled to every corner with goodies for young and old. 

Chocolate and candy wonderland

Be treated to the colourful combinations of the exterior and you would be tempted to buy some and try. I swear the tarts and pastries in France is amazingly good. For a start, we were here for their brunch following reviews of the much-hype of Au Chocolat.

Meet Danielle, an 8 year old French girl 

Danielle and two other dog companions is the main characters of Au Chocolat. Together they embark on special adventures filled with joy and hoping that all it's customer would experience the same excitement during their visit here.

Quite interesting concept isn't it? This definitely set those children thinking somehow. Here comes our food...

Ultimate Benedict $22

Don't be deceived by the small portion of this Ultimate Benedict. It sure look small from the picture but it's adequate portion to share for two. The crispy bacon is really unique and the combination consist of eibeye steak, roasted chicken and scramble egg. (We actually request for scramble egg instead of 2 poached egg!) The hollandaise sauce completes the meal for two hungry people in the afternoon!

Pardon me I actually forgot the name of the mushroom crepe. It's heavenly good as well. We couldn't finish the portion because the portion of the mushroom is just way too much. The cream sauce match perfectly with the crepe. Writing this post makes me hungry already.

If you haven't been to Au Chocolat, head down and give it a try!

Windowsill Pies

A new couple finds it easy to express love. But people who have been in a relationship for long may find it difficult to articulate themselves. Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to reignite the dying embers of love.

Today, I'm going to avoid the crowd at Orchard road. Heading over to a small cafe near Lavendar, I'm heading to Windowsill Pies for some picnic in the woods.

From the 14th to the 17th of February, Windowsill Pies will be serving a picnic for two with two slices of pie (a pot of tea to go with), a potato starter of your choice, a velvety corn and leek clam chowder and a main of your choice. All rounded off with a cute caraffe of juice or a couple glasses of wine! Priced at $65 for 2 people and an additional $10 for wine.

 Velvety corn and leek clam chowder

The specially made clam chowder served with crispy samosa look-alike puff is the starter of this 3-course Valentine's Set. The portion is big enough for two to share. I'm not kidding, this is really some good clam chowder, one of the best I've had.

Latkes with French Onion Jalepeno Dip, Bacon waffles with Egg salad

The homemade recipe for the Jalepeno Dip is also one of my favourite because I personally do not like Jalepeno but I only know the dip is made from it after the meal. Amazing isn't? The Latkes with French Onion or Rösti (if you will), dip in the sauce is the perfect main course, although it look like some breakfast set that we are having. 

Bacon waffles with egg salad is ok, thou i prefer the egg salad to be in bigger portion. Here comes the dessert, an icing on the cake. Full of robust flavours and exciting textures, their pies are crafted with honest ingredients and a close attention to detail. They normally had their cakes sold out pretty fast. 

That's already saliva swallowing :)

Strawberry and Lemon Tart

Windowsill Pies is already famous for their cake. I've tried one of those at Manicurious. (3-in-1 Nail salon, retail and cafe) 

Tea - Muscato Blanc

We had previously chose Muscato Blanc tea leaves to go with after the meal and strawberry, lemon tarts. Easily one of the simple yet perfect Valentine's date I had with my girlfriend and I'm pretty sure we would be back for more reviews.
