The posh Antionette has traded its upscale home at Mandarin Gallery for an accessible location at Millenia Walk. But the interior is just as chic, and the food just as comfy. Freshly baked bread and pastries continue to line the confectionary display. Look forward to signatures like the strawberry shortcake (from $9) and the Antionette (from $11) made with milk chocolate mousse infused with earl grey tea.
But with its new home comes new offerings as well. A selection of sandwiches make it easy to grab a quick meal for those rushing for time: bite into a flaky butter croissant ($3.50) for a luxurious breakfast, or dig into the Italian focaccia ($8) that’s loaded with tender chicken, pesto butter, and cheese for a hearty lunch. Those with time to spare can sample Antionette's selection of savoury crepes made with buckwheat flour. Unique options include one topped with smoked salmon, capers, and dill cream cheese ($18) or the okonomiyaki-inspired Tokyo ($18) with roasted chicken, cheese, seaweed, and bonito flakes. And if you can (and you should), make time for the Ondeh Ondeh Kaya Toast ($6), where aromatic kaya and gula Melaka is slathered generously on toasted ciabatta, complete with a thick slab of creamy French butter.
