When Angelina came to Singapore, I was very excited cos I didn’t manage to try it in Paris due to limited time. So when I happily told the friend ‘oh Angelina opens in Singapore!’, she replied ‘Jolie is in Singapore’, I wanted to -____- her. The Parisan tearoom opens it first outlet in Singapore and gosh, it is sure crowded. I went there twice cos the first time i was there, they sold out everything – hot chocolate, mont blanc tart, Paris-New York tart at 5pm. It was insane
A very small place with no reservations
Old Fashioned Hot Chocolate “L’Africain” $12
It is not your usual hot chocolate but one that is so thick with the taste of chocolate you might actually have problem finishing the whole cup. How can anyone take this x2? It really just felt like drinking molten chocolate
Angelina Breakfast $35 (available till 11.30am)
The Angelina breakfast comes with 1. choice of Tea, Coffee or Hot Chocolate
I love how they come with a piece of milk chocolate instead of a cookie
2. Freshly Squeezed Fruit Juice (we chose orange)
3. Mini Viennoiseries w house-made jam which was so delicious
We love their pastries for being light and soft. It would be better if it’s warm but the buttery flaky pastry still lingers in your mouth even when it’s cold
4. Bread Roll
The bread roll was so good! It’s served hot, and spread it with the apricot and raspberry jam was sweet and appetising
5. Eggs, any way you want it done
We chose scrambled and it was the best decision. We love how the eggs are soft, creamy and milky
6. Fresh Fruit Salad
A small plate of fruit salad which was quite filling honestly
Norwegian Eggs Benedict $18
The eggs ben were disappointing. One egg failed to poach, the salmon was really salty and we didn’t like the sauce. They just didn’t come together
Truffle Fries $10
The taste of truffle was strong at the beginning but it disappeared towards the end. It was still satisfying to be munch on them though
Mont Blanc Praline $13.50
We got the praline cos they ran out of Le Mont Blanc. The lightness of the meringue beneath topped with sweetness of the chestnut cream was just a package of everything sweet
Tarte Tout Chocolat $12
I actually enjoyed the chocolate tart, possibly cos the praline on top gave more texture than just a sweet chocolate tart though the chocolate is pretty gao as well
Angelina is classy, elegant and upmarket. I will recommend their breakfast set than to go ala carte cos you can share among 2 and go for their desserts as well. Service can be really slow. I think they might have adapted the French lifestyle of serving so be prepared to wait. But if you want a taste of Parisan tearoom, you can drop by for a visit
