Celebrate Mothers' Day with Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie

Hi Huneybees,


Mothers' Day is this weekend and have you found THE present for Mummy dearest? Why not celebrate the most important woman in you life, tell your Mummy "Je T’aime Mama" (I love you mother in French) with Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie.
Je T’aime Mama (Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie's MOTHER’S DAY SERIES 2012) is a feminine line up highlighting the flavours, colours, and objects that remind us of that of that extraordinary woman who brought us to the world and held it up through the moments when we feel we can no longer do so. This Mother’s Day, Executive Pastry Chef Christophe Grilo, a finalist at the recent World Gourmet Series Awards of Excellence 2012, designed a gorgeous collection of handcrafted lipsticks, fragrant rose macarons, and limited edition cherry and pistachio cake to celebrate the women who gave themselves up for us physically, mentally, and emotionally.


Reminisce the moments when young daughters gaze with envy at their mothers holding up a mirror and colouring the lips of encouragement, dreaming of the day when they grow old enough to do likewise. Canelé commemorates this girly memory with their Rouge a Lèvres, a range of delectable chocolate lipsticks in three flavours- milk chocolate, dark chocolate and raspberry white chocolate. Retailing at $8.50 per piece or $15 per pair, the chocolate lipstick is a petite treat that fits into your favourite clutch and enjoyed whenever the occasion calls for a candy.


La Cerise Et La Pistache ($36 per whole cake), Canelé’s pistachio sponge cake layered with cherry marmalade swathed in fluffy mascarpone cream and chocolate chip hearts emphasises on light and fruity flavours favoured in spring. 

Gentle and not cloying on the palate, La Cerise Et La Pistache is a reflection of the gentleness of a mother’s love. Paired with a charming glass of white wine, the exquisiteness of each bite mirrors the beauty of a mother’s heart.
 
Complete the celebration with Canelé’s exclusive Je T’aime Mama, our rose infused macaron with a surprise litchi jelly centre priced at $3 per piece. Topped with a white chocolate chip bearing the words “I love mum” we remember each breakfast, shopping, or birthday surprise that left a smile on our faces and feel warm in our hearts.

With Canelé’s three-piece Mother’s Day collection for 2012, Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie salutes the every day heroines of our lives - WE LOVE YOU MUMMIES!!!

Psst, the Je T’aime Mama collection is a hot favourite especially the Rouge a Lèvres, chocolate lipsticks. Do make sure you make a call to enquire and reserve before heading down to the stores.

Level 3 was a exchange or introductory place. We get to see new ideas, new food or innovative ideas.


Gula Melaka Macarons anyone?







Yipee! After shopping, it was time for food!






These Caneles from Gunther's are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.




Champagne anyone?

Woohoo! St. Pierre! We get to taste his food!





Garibaldi is another I'm was looking forward to eat.

Yipee! A pic with Chef Emmanuel from Saint Pierre (Left) and Chef Roberto from Garibaldi (Right).
Emmaunuel really had stuffs up his sleeves! He pulled out a pair of chopsticks right from his sleeve's pocket. MAGIC!


Next up, introduction to what we had for that night. We bought several lots to share.

Frangrant Steamed Yellow Pumpkin Rice from Forest (Chef Sam Leong)

Menage A Trois (Saint Pierre).
Very light and refreshing. Great as appetizer.
Beef Rossini (Saint Pierre)
More for beef lovers. I still prefer my beef cooked like steak.
Agneau En Croute (Saint Pierre)
 The lamb meat is so soft, tender and melts in your mouth.
Fettucine (Garibaldi)
The pasta is cooked right to the right Q-ness and duck meat with pasta is something I've not tried before. Very yummy.
My favourite dessert, Tiramisu (Garibaldi)! So sweet!

I'm not very sure where these 3 dishes are from, but they taste wonderful especially the seafood on below. The "soup" is a little tangy and sour, very appetizing!


Angel Hair Pasta with Caviar. Need I say more?
Bought 2 cakes from the Big O booth, but.....
They were destroyed due to my carrying of many things. Sob Sob.
The cakes still taste wonderful and although it was already 4am, hubby and I finished them both!
Truffle Heart shape cake and Spike D - Chocolate Dome with Durian filling...
Thank you Savour! We had thousand and one fun~
Can't wait for Savour 2013....

Today is the last day of Savour. Would you guys be going? Do share your experience!
