For our visit this time around (well, our second for 2015), we made sure to drop by Lady M Confections in Orchard Central, just right across Somerset Orchard serviced residences where we stayed. Although at first glance it looks more of a dessert place given the mouth watering cakes and crepes we see, its all-breakfast fare is also worth noting, and trying.
Apparently, it's from New York and has recently landed in Singapore. What we've missed in our 2013 New York visit, we've made up for in our 2015 Singapore visit. Not bad at all.
We tried the much vaunted desserts but the all-breakfast dishes we feasted on impressed our tummies more. Sharing some with you here, in pictures :-).
Salad to drool for. This one is tops on our list - smoked
salmon and poached eggs with roasted squash.
This one is a close second for us - fisherman's pot pie.
We are pie persons. And the fact that it's got shrimps
and white fish makes us like it even more.
Hmn, they say that this type of breakfast can be boring -
poached eggs on toasted muffins, bacons, beans, sausages.
Well, maybe it can be boring but not when it's Lady M. :-)
Ambiance is light and easy - its floor-to-ceiling glass walls adequately lighten up the place evoking a casual but classy vibe. The street side view of Orchard Road is also a big plus as it allows one to see how life unfolds in the iconic shopping haven.
We asked the lady who waited on us to tell us the title
of the centerpiece artwork hanging from the ceiling but
unfortunately she said she does not know. Also asked her
what the medium was, whether it's steel or fiberglass, etc.,
she said again that - you're right - she does not know. :-)
An all-glass wall maximizes the view on this side
of Orchard Road.
In the interest of transparency, let it be disclosed though that the service was a bit slow. A pair of diners came after us, that is, after we had ordered, and yet, their food was served ahead of ours. A slice of civility and politeness was enough by just reminding the staff of what our ordered dishes were. We observed that the place was undermanned. Also, there is a notice at the entrance about the one hour dining rule so as to give way to other diners in waiting. To be sure, our order of 3 dishes and 2 desserts can't be gobbled up in an hour. We stayed for about 2.5 hours and no, we were not shooed away. :-)
