The Stamford Brasserie, Swissôtel The Stamford

The Stamford Brasserie, Swissôtel The Stamford

Our first visit to The Stamford Brasserie (Level 1 Swissôtel The Stamford, 2 Stamford Road, tel : +65 6431 6156). While their name rung a bell, I've never noticed them until recently.

Just sweets.

Got intrigued by their vanilla bean cremuex which looked kinda like a cocoa bean pod. Couldn't identify the cake/cream fillings inside but the shell was dark chocolate. Also not getting any vanilla flavour from the cream as well. Did not taste bad but it's also a first and a last.

Their almond croissant also looked unusual with its scaly crest of toasted sliced almond. Those were held up by marzipan which was flavoured with, get this, Chinese almond (杏仁). Which I read are actually apricot kernels. There were more crushed sliced almond with some custardy thing stuffed in the middle of the croissant. Pastry was moderately buttery and pretty delicious as a whole.

Coffee's ok. Moderate strength and bitter. Which was what we wanted.

The Stamford Brasserie, erdinger weiss

$12 a pint during happy hour and for Erdinger Weiss on tap in Swissôtel, I guess it's a pretty decent deal.
