That aside, the tuna pie served was ok, not too bad, except for the fact that it was only moderately warm, while the chicken pie, though it could have been delicious, the crust was warm but the filling was cold. It wasn’t what we expected at all for all the prices it charged. When we asked for cutlery, the waitress took quite a while to get it, until I had to go up to the counter to ask for it, which coincided with the time she exited the kitchen with the cutlery.

We returned the chicken pie for reheating because it was too cold, and they apologised and said that they would ‘make a new one’, and when we enquired about how long it will take, the waitress gave us a gauge of 10 mins. We agreed to wait and was a little bit more heartened at the starting hint of what seemed to be better service. However, 10 mins passed…then 15…and the pie never came. My dad got fed up and went to pay the bill.They didn’t charge us for both pies when my father berated the person at the cashier for the cold pies and waiting. They explained the cold-on-inside pies as they used an oven to heat up the pies, but shouldn’t they have used a microwave? An oven is not really meant for reheating food. As for the delay in our ‘new chicken pie’, I attribute it to the oven’s slow speed at baking as well.

It certainly wasn’t what we expected, and all the more not a very good reflection of SG’s service to my malaysia relatives. The drinks were not bad though, even though it was pricey, but the 10% service charge wasn’t worth it, and neither was the food.

Funny story. We missed the cabinet entirely where they had all the macarons on display. Only when we had paid and walked out of the place did we notice there’s more!

Did you get to try the macarons??

The pastry chef at Boulangerie is Alain Herber. Does the name sound familiar to you? Oh yes, they do have a bigger version of Satin, and that looks very similar to the one on your Twitter background.

We did not really have the chance to give our feedback. When we made payment, there was already a whole line of customers waiting behind us. The whole place was basically packed, and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed at times.

Perharps. But it looks exactly the same just smaller. Tropical desserts are common, but so far I’ve never come across 1 that is exactly the same haha. (can take a look at my twitter background, theres a pic of the tropical treasure on the right corner)

If only food is the thing thats served, its not even service at all haha… Did you feedback to them?

The pineapple-coconut crumble is definitely a “tropical” pastry. Interesting coincidence?

Yes, this is the kind of situation where I feel there should not be service charges. Except for the waitress bringing us our food, everything else is self-service.

Bad…

I am super curious to know if they have changed it. Someone pointed out that this may be their business model, but I can’t see them doing this in the long run.

I’m still smarting from the $6++ coffee!

The ChocoNut Tart looks delish but $4.80++?! :(
