I always had the idea that Angelina was just cakes and confectionaries and pastries only so I never paid them much attention when they opened up at Capitol Piazza. Recently we walked past their place at MBS (#B2-89/89A Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue, tel : +65 6688 7218) and also saw them featured on YouTube and I realized that they was more than met my eyes.
That's their old-fashioned iced chocolate “L’Africain”. Fruity thick chocolate drink. Had dimensions but I don't know if there was that much cocoa. Not a bad chocolate drink. Will try the hot one the next time.
For some reason, the coffee from our Christmas set came first before everything else from the set did. Thought it would be the last. We asked for cream and they obliged. Because the coffee didn't pack the punch as the one of the defunct Antoinette, it also didn't taste the same with cream. This one was like French kopi gu yu.
Back to the Christmas set I mentioned earlier, there's a seafood platter that came with it. Seafood plate to be precise. The prawn, scallop and torched salmon rosette were all delicious. There was enough caramelization to for that smoky flavour without downplaying the taste seafood. Those guys in the kitchen who made this must have either been lucky or competent.
This lamb was the main course for the Christmas set. Done medium. Not bad. Flavour's there but not exactly robust and there was also a hint of rosemary which I would have preferred not there. Gratin dauphinois that came with it was creamy and delicious.
They had a delicious slow cooked chicken with morel cream. This was part of their a la carte, not the set. Flavourful chicken was competently cooked and made extra yummy by the rich morel cream. By the way, that morel cream also paired well with the lamb and we knew because we tried.
We couldn't try any of their desserts on menu because the set came with a chocolate fondant which we didn't want to waste. Wasn't bad.
