The Connoisseur Concerto

I like the environment of this TCC branch. It feels like a hideout for me whereby I can watch the rest of city life pass by hastily, yet feel really relaxed in here, especially if I just plop myself against their soft sofa seats.Lobster Bisque

It's an even bigger bonus when the food is good.

The tomato soup base has been infused with some lobster seafood flavour - really tasty! There are lots of ingredients in the soup too. The best part, surprisingly, has got to be the pastry. Served on butter-toasted french loaf, there are chunks of to-die-for lobster meat and fish roe all over. Love it!

chowder. but i thought it was too dismali loved these thick calamari rings. they came in various shapes and sizes. definitely handmade!
and opt for tartar. don't bother with the sweet sauce that comes with it.this pasta was chock full of ingredients. the baby lobster was good. it's awesome! the baked rice was full on cheese. comfort foodand this chicken with wasabi sesame sauce was very good! the chicken was generous and the sauce was deliciously addictive.

I have always tried the plain aglio Olio with nothing but olive oil, garlic and chill padi and I thought it is worthwhile to give a try of the seafood. Moreover, it is more worthwhile. It has succulent pan – seared scallops and fresh prawns, the prawns are very fresh and the scallops are very juicy. However, I did not quite enjoy the spaghetti maybe it is due to the different brand in olive oil used.

This Mango cake is called "MANGO DIVA" which is selling for $5.6 for a single portion. It has a smooth surface on the top which is gelatin with the sweetness of the fresh mango inside. It is like a mango shortcake, gracefully adorned with mango and berries! It's fruit cake therefore it is healthy and it cheered up my day by eating this with tea at TCC! Should try it!

Had been a pasta lover all this while, so I will not hesitate to try out the pasta sold by different restaurants. Went to TCC- The Connoisseur Concerto and ordered their seafood aglio oglio. the spaghetti is not bad after all. Seafood too, were quite fresh. Only downside is that the pasta can be a little bit too dry for me. Oh well, tis might be a little bit spicy to those non-spicy eater. But overall, still satisfied with the taste.

There was a promotion going on at 1 for 1 for all main courses. We decided to head to TCC to try out the promotion. My friend and I ordered the same main course, which is the fried oysters spagetti which costs $22.90++ in total. This helped to save us half the price. The fried oysters were well fried, as they were crispy on outside and juicy in the inside. The portion was quite small though.

Went to The Connoisseur Concerto @ Clarke Quay to celebrate our friend's birthday. We had chosen this cafe because of its ambient environment. Also, it was our first time we had our meal here. We bought the Devil's Chocolate Cake as my friend is a chocolate lover. This cake in fact is very rich in chocolate and delicious, however we kinda feel sick after having too much of it. It is best served chilled.
The service is also kinda good. They helped us a lot which made the surprising birthday celebration to my friend a success one. Only disadvantage is that the cake is slightly expensive though.

After a day of walking around robertson quay, I decided to reward myself by having some sinful stuff like cheesecake Since robertson quay is catered more towards restaurants and pubs (mostly closed in the afternoon), I finally found a TCC where I could take a break from walking.

I ordered a cappuccino cheesecake ($7.90) as it was strongly recommended by the waiter. This heavenly cappuccino cheesecake is beautifully presented with decadent double chocolate ice cream and cocoa streusel. It was velvety smooth and sinfully rich. I love the chocolate ice cream too - a perfect combination with cake; since chocolate and cocoa contain good source of antioxidant.

Normally, I can drink a cup of coffee on its own. But, if I had a cake or some other snacks, then I would prefer to have a hot beverage to go with. Flat white ($4.90) has always been my all time favourite. Simply love its smooth texture Not forgetting it was accompanied with 2 yummy cookies

I just realize they serve breakfast too.Even their ice water come in cute little glassware, every details count at The Connoisseur Concerto!I had the Yuzu Scented Spaghetti with Teriyaki Salmon which was new on their menu. It taste spicy and sweet with chili padi in it! This dish really suit most Singaporeans taste bud. Their salmon is of the right texture and right bite. Just that the salmon look small with the spaghetti. Notice the artistic presentation of the sweet sauce on the plate? My appetite was boost with such lovely food presentation.

We ordered the calamari rings to share and it was crispy and chewy, a dip with the sauce just make it simply perfect.After the good experience at this outlet, I just felt like patronizing all The Connoisseur Concerto outlets - nice food, great atmosphere.

TCC is one of my favourite cafe to enjoy some peace and relaxation. Love spending my Saturday afternoons in TCC with my laptop and just do some work. Will always order their Oreo Mocha Frappe which has a perfect blend of Orea with Mocha. The brownie n Oreo Cheesecake is really good too! What are you waiting for? Head down to TCC now!

Simply love this fabulous dessert and its presentation.... this warm dark chocolate cake is moist yet soft, with chocolate lava oozing out smoothly, gently, temptingly. It is not too chocolatey, best to top with vanilla ice cream (the warmness from the cake and the cold ice cream is a heaven match combination, it's like melt in your mouth kind of feeling, yummy), its sweetness is well complemented with summer berries, and mint leaves.The delicate orange sesame tuile is lightweight, dry, crisp, comes in a dizzying array and delectable

My first time trying the food menu at TCC!

Dined in here for lunch on a weekday and I remember there was a 1-for-1 lunch promotion.

I had the Ocean Sur'fin, something like pan-seared salmon with roasted potato wedges and asparagus. It was surprisingly tasty!

The salmon was tender and the potato wedges weren't too soft, turning mushy.

We walk around many places, finding a place we can settle down for dinner. But there were people in every restaurant, queueing up for a table on a christmas eve. We didnt felt like joining the long stretch of queue. So we decided to continue walking until we saw TCC and there was no one in it! It looked almost like it was not open for business and it was 9pm! We confirmed with the friendly waitress to see if it was open and got a table for two. The red sofa seats really brighten up the entire place. As there were no other customers other than us, the waitress focus all her attention towards us. She was attentive in explaining the menu and we waited for some time before our food were served. The cheesy mozzarella stick came in bite size and it was really nice! But be careful not to burn your tongue as the cheese is hot. It came with a sauce, tasted like salsa and together, it was perfect! The chicken baked rice was nice too, with fresh leafy vegetables as the ganish. My friend had a spagetti with fried fish. Though it looks simple, but the spagetti were flavourful and chewy. The fried fish was cooked till golden brown too and it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Although the food were nice, the prices were steep which i think with the amount spent, you could have gone to a better place with better ambience.
