It was a Saturday afternoon and The Star dragged me out for brunch at 12. That's really early for a Saturday. As usual, I was kept in the dark and was totally clueless about where were going. However when we were reaching town, I started guessing and tadah! When I said Pique Nique he was like "... shit" HAHA
Pique Nique is a pretty new restaurant opened by the Sugar Daddy group, which owns Antoinette too. Pique Nique is located in Ngee Ann City or rather, as we all call it, Taka. It's where Macdonalds used to be, beside KFC. You will probably think that the prices will be quite over the top or will probably burn a hole in your pocket but here comes a surprise! The prices are actually pretty decent
ALL DAY BREAKFAST. I love places that serve all day breakfast
What a cute jar. I wanted to bring it home
Hot chocolate with marshmallow cloud
The chocolate was far too thick and the taste was somewhat strange and after a few sips, I did not feel like drinking it anymore.
As for the marshmallow cloud, I was pretty amused by it! Usually you get those tiny little marshies but here you get one big cloud all to yourself! However the marshmallow wasn't very nice. It was like I could feel the tiny bits of sugar present in the marsh. Pretty bad texture
Classic benedict. I like their plates/bowls.
I like how it looks so simple, really fits the theme of a picnic doesn't it?
The Benedict was okay. Nothing fantastic, just the good ol' benedict.
Philly steak! When I first dug my fork into the egg, I wasn't expecting to see much corned beef actually. However, I was surprised yet again. This wasn't the kind of dish whereby the wrap looks kinda full but its actually quite empty inside. Haha the corned beef and sauteed onions were a really pleasant combo. Together with half an English muffin, Philly Steak is certainly enjoyable and satisfying for brunch!
Iced Cafe Latte
The cute lil cup with sugar syrup. Doesn't look very cute here but it is! Haha
The cakes are all shaped like bars. Probably a trademark that people will remember about Pique-Nique. Oh and they have really intriguing and unique cupcake flavours! I'll love to try them soon!
Look at the cute signs screaming "I am not a macaron" Hahaha super adorable. These are cookies I think
We did not try their desserts even though we had wanted to try their brownie. It was not bad a meal I feel. I like how the waitresses and waiters were all decked in checks! It enhances the picnic feeling somehow haha. And there were cute furniture and decorations. Cute furniture and decorations are definitely plus plus points for the both of us. Overall, quite an enjoyable experience dining here except that I think it'll be better if the wall facing KFC did not have any openings. It seems like the noise from KFC kinda "floats" into Pique Nique through those openings. And also, they seem to be pretty short of staff and you might have to wait for awhile to get your orders taken.
Recommended if you're looking for a decent brunch and laidback feel that won't cost you a bomb in town.
