「 Ms Da Yakking Away At 9:44 pm 」
0 freaking screams!

Canelé and Brotzéit makes a great nightout!

Can't remember when was the last gathering, but the 4 of us were finally able to have a proper meet-up. We decided, or rather I decided to try out Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie at Raffles City.



My Darlings! Valerie, Gret and Ben!



Canelé, great food awaits.



(Clockwise from top) Salade concorde, Corn & crab chowder, Smoked salmon, red tomato, capers & dill cream cheese crepe and Bolognaise & poached egg with parmesan cheese doria

The food at Canelé has quite a strong taste, using lots of sauces, spices and such. Not really suitable for those with a blander preference. Personal favorite will have to be the Corn & crab chowder. It's smooth and rich, but not too thick. You can actually taste small pieces of sweet corn and crab meat. This will probably ranked 2nd as my no. 1 favorite is still the Cream of mushroom from Marché.

Sad to say, I find the salad a little too bland, the doria a little too salty and the crust of the crepe a little too thin. But the smoked salmon on the crepe is pretty good, and all the veges are very crispy.

Next comes desserts!! Heavenly dessert is the grand finale of a delicious meal, so I was looking forward to it, especially when Canelé is famous for its dessert. Was I impressed? Well, yes and no.



(Clockwise from top) Triple choco cheesecake, Cafe caramel, Macaron and Tiramisu

Attention: The tiramisu is definitely a MUST TRY! The Italian classic with finger sponge soaked in coffee, white rum and brandy. Soft and smooth and melts in your mouth. Heavenly!

Okay, back to the rest of the desserts. Let's see, the cheesecake is quite nice, the cafe caramel is too chocolaty and the macarons are too sweet, but the passion fruit one is pretty unique.



Remains of the desserts.. One look and you know which is the popular one.

Salad, soup, main course, desserts.. what's next? Biru (beer) of course! Off we go to Brotzéit!





Good food, heavenly desserts, cold chilled beer and great company, what more can I ask for? Cheers, guys!

Fast forwarded 2 days..

I brought my friends, Jack Jo and Mervyn to try out the desserts at Canelé.



(Clockwise from top) Cheesecake, Chocolat classique, Meringue and Gateau chocolat

Verdict: Too much sweet and chocolate is bad for health. I still prefer my tiramisu.
