Antoinette

Dinner date at Antoinette – Mandarin Gallery. They do not accept reservation but we were quite lucky to get a seat for 2 after queuing for awhile. The larger group might have to wait longer. Their other branch at Penhas Road take in reservation though.

We were greeted by the nice and cozy ambience. Perhaps we were seated quite near to the kitchen, my face turned oily after a while.

The mushroom soup, his crab pasta and our teas in the above picture. We find the crab pasta abit too salty.

My order – Brittany! Savoury Crepe with seafood! It tastes good! There wasn’t much variety of desert. I had wanted to try to Strawberry Shortcake but it is not available. Tried Mont Blanc and Dark Chocolate in the end.

The table is in fact too small to put all our food. The waitress got to remove our saucer in the end to make space for the food.. See the exquisite looking jewellery box look alike container..the bill was actually delivered in that container! Overall a very nice place to dine in!

Aren’t this Pretty!

Happy Mother’s Day

This mother day, we had something special. Instead of thinking hard which restaurant to go, I brought mama to market for “Zi Char”. I’m tired of the usual “Zi Char” stall so I recalled that we can try this stall which is located at Tampines round market.

And this is what we had. A simple yet delicious meal! Every dishes are great! I didn’t choose the wrong place! Everyone is full of praise for the food except that the fish is abit salty! I guess it’s because we ordered the “Cai Po” fish which “Cai Po” itself is a salty vegetable. This stall has many different ways of cooking up the fish. Instead of the usual, “Teochew” or “Hong Kong” steam, they had a lot more different variety! I especially love the claypot “Tou Hua”. It is not the usual “Tofu” or beancurd but this is really “Dou Hua”, soft and silky and it melts in your mouth! The vegetable and meat are great too!

This year I also bought something different for my mama. Instead of the usual jewellery, bags, wallets, watches which is like the same every year, I decided on Crab Tree and Evelyn’s body care set which I think is great! I love the citron scent as compared to the flora scent and wanted to get two sets, one for mum and one for MIL. But they are left with one citron set and so I got the flora set for my mum instead. It’s the rose water scent! And they are having a promotion for this set. See what I got!

They had the shower foam, body lotion, soap and hand cream at a amazingly good price! I am so tempted to get one set for myself too but I resisted! haha I especially love their food as well and the biscuits and tea set are what I got for free! Notice the yellow biscuit tin in the middle, its actually  one tin with tea at the top and biscuits below! How creative!
