Becasse is a high-end artisan bakery and European restaurant nestled in the heart of Dempsey Hill, and is under the subsidiary of none other than Jones The Grocer. The entire setting was simply gorgeous - vintage, French, classy - with the whole black-and-white, tiled themes. Upon stepping in, one feels as though time has stopped, and we are trapped in the retro days of good, old-fashioned bakeries .We had the High Tea set - the items were delicately set on top of the black blocks, resting ever
Becasse is a high-end artisan bakery and European restaurant nestled in the heart of Dempsey Hill, and is under the subsidiary of none other than Jones The Grocer. The entire setting was simply gorgeous - vintage, French, classy - with the whole black-and-white, tiled themes. Upon stepping in, one feels as though time has stopped, and we are trapped in the retro days of good, old-fashioned bakeries .
We had the High Tea set - the items were delicately set on top of the black blocks, resting ever so delicately flaunting its display of pastries proudly. The service crew explained each item on the long glass plank to us briefly. There were 5 sweet items and 3 savoury ones along with a pot of tea for just SGD$20.00.
One of the items was a tiny pot of creamy Pot of Hazelnut Cappuccino - it was like a coffee cream dream - smooth, velvety rich, resplendent strongly of cappuccino's aroma and flavor. It was like eating a thick cup of solid cappucino, complete with froth and rich cocoa shavings. I loved this.
Then there was this tiny Banana Tart with salted peanuts was lovely. The banana flavor was strong and salted peanuts complemented it well.
Next, I tried the Prawn Salad on Lettuce - delicious, succulent and juicy in texture and flavor. This was my favorite savoury item on the entire Hightea platter. My only complaint was that it could have been bigger, lol.
We also shared their signature Salted Caramel Macaron Milkshake (SGD$8.00) - simply because it looks so inviting and pretty from all the photos I have glimpsed. It left us a little downcast because the only "salted" parts were probably the cheese popcorn tossed in, as well as the blue macaron as seen. The milkshake itself was very milky / vanilla in flavor; we were glad we shared one instead of ordering one each.For full review and more photographs, please feel free to visit:
