French Patisserie - Angelina in Singapore

Capitol Piazza seems like a new favourite for foodies, comprising of hot restaurants including Dazzling Cafe from Taiwan and Angelina from France. In this post, I will be sharing my gastronomic experience at Angelina!!! 

They have breakfast menu which last till 11.30am (it opens at 10am). A brunch menu which last tills 2.30pm. And the others available from 11.30am onwards. The brunch menu is part served on a mini tiered-tray similar to a tea-time set. Pretty cute I feel. 

First up, the old- fashioned hot chocolate "L'Africain" is seriously, last warning. The rich and smooth hot chocolate is served in a mini pitcher and a small, elegant cup. This is almost like a dessert on its own, better than a chocolate cake or ice cream. But definitely not for the faint-hearted given the richness in every drop of hot chocolate. There is whipped cream for you to mix in which thickens the drink and makes it creamier. It is up to you to apportion the chocolate and the whip to your liking. I prefer a tiny dollop of the cream stirred thoroughly into my hot chocolate. This is recommended to be shared especially if you're having desserts along with this. 


Knowing we cannot cope with all sweets, we ordered a safe snack - club sandwich otherwise known at Angelina as the Parisian Sandwich. It is served with a bowl of French fries and mesclun salad. We had the choice of smoked salmon, ham and cheese, chicken or vegetarian for the sandwich. Ham and cheese sandwich was what we got (see below). The toasts are deep fried to give it the crispy touch. There is lettuce salad and hard boiled egg layered in between the toasts. I found this pretty well done since it's worth S$22. The fries turned soggy pretty fast and I reckon it could be better. Otherwise, I still love my sandwich at Angelina. 


We also ordered a pot of jasmine green tea but it is not re-fillable unlike most places. It is a good choice to go with the dessert- Lemon Cheesecake. I attached their dessert menu at the bottom of this post knowing some of you might be keen. 

Zesty and citrusy mousse with crunchy biscuit base are the reasons why I would give this cake an A. Most of the desserts here look promising from the looks of the description and the crowd seated in the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. 

Expect to spend up to $50 per pax if you are here for meal and desserts. Ours was $70 for a main course, 1 dessert and 3 drinks. 

Ambience is classy but rather noisy given the open setting on level 1 of Capitol Theatre. Also, it is surrounded by several other restaurants such as 1933 and Equilibrium. Angelina is situated near the door to Capitol Galleria. 

I'd be back for more for a chilling good time.

People's Park Complex hidden treasures

Image
I know it can be frustrating if you can't make up your mind between the three roasted meat stalls and four other dim sum stalls. They all look the same but you know surely one of those stalls is the famous one which your grandparents and parents grew up eating.  Today, I'd introduce to you one of the best dimsum and roast meats non-restaurant style, together with some new findings in the current People's Park Complex.  It has been a long while since I last wowed at the dimsum before me. The stall only displays a pathetic number of dishes in the glass cabinet as compared to Ho Kee which display a wide myriad of choices. Yet... 道记(Chop Hean Kuan) 's dimsums sells like hot cakes. The price range is not large, cheapest at 90c for items like the ugly looking yet tempting siew mai, egg tarts and 韭菜角, the most expensive item is 2 bucks for the 糯米鸡. The mini char siew bao was heaven. I seldom fancy this because it feels  often feels like eating marinated card board.

Jimoto-Ya (Singapore)

Image
Sometimes, i wished there isn't so many new restaurants sprouting around our tiny island everyday (pocket is bleeding), but at times, i am exhilarated especially when something like Jimoto-Ya is in town! Thanks to one of Jimoto-Ya's sake supplier who strongly recommended the place, that i had to try it right away. And in a week, there goes 2 meals at Jimoto-Ya. I was there on a weekday afternoon and a weekend night respectively. Both experience were unique on its own yet similar in the right points.  From top: Ebi Shoyu Ramen Set (19 SGD), Curry Rice Set (19 SGD), Ebi Shio Ramen Set (19 SGD) Lunch and dinner menu are the same at the moment with ramen and rice sets taking the limelight. For lunch, i shared the above 3 sets with my 2 girlfriends who were as delighted as me to eat them the second the food was served. The smell of amaebi boiled for hours alleviating from the soup made it even more irresistible. The choices were decided with the help of the boss, Se

Tendon Kohaku's 2nd outlet!

Image
Ever since I chanced upon Tendon Hokaku (even though I've read so much about it before that plus all the instagram spams on my wall) at its 1st outlet at Suntec, been missing it. Just that the queue can be quite a pain especially during the peak hours. So there's also peak periods for dining nowadays!  It's opening at Circular Road last week has caused such a hype especially amongst the working crowd in the area. CBD IS HAPPENING TOO!    Quickly, the queue has formed with longer queue times as the days go by. I went on a Wednesday at 1pm and the waiting time was 15 mins, better than I expected. Then on Thursday, it became 40 mins. I'm not sure how long it'll be in the days to come. But if you all agree with me, the perpetual queue is a good sign too!    The cosy outlet has about 6-7 tables and some counter seats so I reckon it can hold up to 20 pax at each time. Menu is a standard 4 types: Seafood, chicken and mixed vegetables tendon (spicy or non-spicy) at $15 whil
