Completely Random

Now after that previous nasty 'review', we do need abit of desserts to cheer us up dont we?

I managed to also catch up with XH during my trip back in October and she brought me to Antoinette at Penhas Road, Lavendar.

I have heard alot about this particular outlet and the exterior did look quite good. The interior with the amazing French Renaissance furniture was like my favourite kind of playground. And the sweets.


I had to try their new cake, Angelique. Hmmm, it was very sweet. too sweet.


XH's - it was not bad. I have had better cake. so nothing to be woah about.

So safe to say my first experience was not really that good food-wise. But i had a wonderful time drinking my favourite earl grey tea and chatting with my girl after months away.

Looking forward to more tea-time with my girlfriends and even dudes on my next trip back.

M's Food Find #67

Heyyyyyyy y'all. Yes I've been dead... but here I am now. and to celebrate that, some food. A place quite popularized in Singapore.

This post is on TWG at Marina Bay Sands, a dinner I had with my mother and sister on a random night.





I quite like the little elevated island in the middle of the malls. It would be nice on a quiet afternoon alone or spending with a girlfriend for a nice quiet chat.



I obviously love TWG teas. The fragrance and range are amazing. And I can never quite decide. I have spent quite alot of time there during my summer of 2011, alone to read a book or just sketch or write or with friends. But mostly in ION Orchard's outlet across Harry Winston. So often that the staff knows me hahaha. I just wish it werent so damn crowded.


We had the lasagna which was quite ordinary. The food here havent really impressed me thus far.

I have had their tea tier as well. Good jam but the rest werent that fabulous. Macaron flavours also are quite light, could be stronger.




Their sorbets however, are amazing. So light and full of flavour. Especially good on a typical hot humid day in Singapore. This is the raspberry tea infused one. I have had the ginger one before too.

Now the last photo looks super yummy but the dish was not served warm as it should be. The fish was also unfortunately not fresh. Cold fish just makes it kinda worse.

On another separate visit to TWG, we had ordered a green garden salad which came beautifully light and amazing fresh sweet beans. That was good.

So for my future visits to the beautiful ornately decorated teahouse, I would have my tea, maybe a salad. People watch and sketch in my book and tune out the chatter. Quiet times are tough to find in a bustling city like Singapore.
