Foodie post: Au Chocolat @ Marina Bay Sands

Ok ok. This post will be flooded with images of a lot of food ate by 4 women. The individual item cost is now a blur. But each of us paid $40 in the split bill if that is of any good reference to you. This is a back dated post of my girls night out last month.

Presenting you with the Au Chocolat review!

Cute menu

  

The restaurant puts in a lot of effort in presentation so I consider it one of those fancy imported eateries with mid range pricing. Be it menu look, restaurant setting and food presentation, they have mostly covered the look section. The restaurant is located on level 3 of MBS, at the very end where the skating rink sits below. It can be roughly said to be split into 3 sections - One for drinks and gelato with some chairs and tall tables, one for their pastries and merchandise with no seating & one serving sit down ala carte food. The price range for ala carte dishes are roughly in the $20 range.

Here are the food we ordered: 

Truffles Fries (Price forgotten) - chunky fries with truffles seasoning. Big serving that's good for sharing. Comes with 2 dips, mayonnaise and BBQ.

Creamy chicken and mushroom crepe ($18, excl tax) - succulent chicken served with sautéed mushrooms, bacon, garlic & sour cream. It may not be visible from this picture but it's actually a very big crepe. I think girls should share it. The portion is too big for one. My girl friend said the taste is not bad.

Smoked Salmon Crepe ($20, excl tax) - Norwegian salmon with apples and cream cheese. My girl friend said it's good.

The Great Carnivore ($20, excl tax) - ham, mushrooms, cheese with eggs, sausages, hash browns, bacon and bread. This is my order. Other than the perk of it being a giant serving, I find the taste itself average. The hash browns were already slightly cold when it first arrived. Unlucky me! Anyway, the serving of 3 eggs is simply too much. Haha.

Burger ( price forgotten) - ok I forgot what exactly the burger contains and it's official dish name. It looks like beef, bacon, cheese, mushroom and fries. Actually this looks the most delicious of the 4 mains we ordered. My friend said its good too.

We went to the other section to order the pastry desserts for share. 

Calamansi Merengue (price forgotten. I think it's abt $8-9). This is extremely sour but my girl friends seemed to enjoy it much more than me. I guess it's an acquired taste! This tart looking thing is actually quite big. Like a small cake.

Apple pie slice (I think it's $8) - No doubt my favorite of all the dishes. Not that it's exceptional, but it's good. I love apple pie.

We each order a coffee too. My mocha (price forgotten) tastes ok ok only. It looks like this:

My overall verdict: 7/10. I think you can go for the overall ambience. The food was in my opinion - so-so, not exceptionally good. For the same price, you might get much tastier stuff. But no doubt the overall atmosphere do give you a pampered tai-tai feel and is worth the occasional indulgence on weekends.
