DESSERT DECADENCE

Ensconced in the alleys of Penhas Road, Antoinette’s flagship location belies its plush interiors. Past the viennoiserie shelf of flaky, buttery pastries, is a welcoming lounge decked with refined upholstery, panelled walls and antique lighting. You can expect the same Parisian flair at the pâtisserie’s other locations in Mandarin Gallery, Scarlet Hotel and Palais Renaissance, and what’s also similar is the array of French fare at each. Apart from savoury classics, such as boeuf bourguignon and wafer-thin crisp crepes, is a range of exquisite desserts: the Antoinette tempts with melt-in-the-mouth tea-infused milk chocolate mousse wrapped round a chocolate biscuit, raspberry coulis and an earl grey tea crumble while the Cleo is a light on the palate offering of yuzu cremeux, white chocolate vanilla mousse, sponge cake and almond sable.

With the unveiling of limited edition gift boxes and antique collector’s tins this Christmas, there’s never been a better time to visit this quintessential salon du thé. Antoinette’s signature desserts are worked into mouthwatering log cakes while sables, festive chocolates, macarons and traditional breads make for thoughtful, appreciative gifts throughout the season.

Available at all Antoinette restaurants from 12 November to 24 December, while stocks last.
