Dining Experience - Antoinette (Palais Renaissance)

This post is "Throwback Big C's Birthday (Part 2)" and
also review on Antoinette (Palais Renaissance).

Antoinette was one of the most blogged/ instagram-ed dining place/ talk-about.

Reviews after reviews.

The website stated: "Reservations: Highly recommended, 1 week in advance."

Wow~ I thought to myself, is it really that packed?

Since it's Big C's Birthday, we shall dine in pretty restaurants & so we tried Antoinette.

I called in for reservation of table, there's only one contact number provided on the website.

Talk for 3 minutes to find out that that's for Penhas Road outlet.

But I wanna booked Palais Renaissance outlet, the server gave me another number, asked me to call myself and I did.

The place is really pretty. I love this elegant, classy & lavishing-looking restaurant.

It's like dining in the backyard of big houses in America.

Okay, one issue here.. IT'S VERY EMPTY.

Probably just 2 tables were occupied.

I doubt the servers are local and they seems to happily chatting at the cashier area.

At the direction I'm seated, they will not see me if I need assistance.
That very much explained why Antoinette seems to be losing it.

Let's talk about the food.

Country Style Mushroom Soup

Boeuf Bourguignon (Burgundy style red wine braised beef)

Savory Crepe

Pan-Fried Foie Gras

Look nice isn't it? Sad to say.. Only Mushroom Soup is nice.

Look at my face when I drank it~ HAHAHA (unglam shot by my big c).

Ready to stuff the food into us~

It's my first time eating Foie Gras, Big C said: "either you like or hate it".

I'm fine with the taste just that maybe the Antoinette ones is not as good as other restaurants?

My beef, first mouth.. it taste quite unique.

But subsequently, I'm getting sick of the sauce and all.

Okay, maybe it's just not my kind of food.

The crepe is not bad though. I guess if I were to go there ever again, I will have the crepe.

Ambience: 9.5/10

Service: 7/10

Food: 6/10

Price: Expensive. haha but it's once again Big C's treat.

Thank You for always feeding us. ❤

It's quite sad to see how some eatery places started off very well, reached the peak and starting to fall.

Whenever someone, bloggers/ television show/ word-of-mouth introduce nice food or awesome food.

The quality of the food will have drastic changes.

For example: "Bedok 85 Bak chor mee", it was once labelled as "best bak chor mee in Bedok".

Look at it now, the serving becomes smaller.

The soup becomes more bland and etc.

No quality. Standard Dropped.

If I can have heavenly food, I don't mind waiting.

What about you?

xoxo.
