You can’t walk past Centrepoint without stopping to look at Lady M across the street – it’s impossible. How could you not love its beautiful, lofty facade? When I’m out on weekdays, busy running errands under the hot sun and not having cakes, this view makes me incredibly envious. But the universe is fair – one afternoon, I finally got my chance.
Lady M, the confectionery boutique from New York, is popular for her cakes. Its latest storefront at Orchard Central is an elegant and minimalist duplex. It’s also the only outlet that offers all day breakfast!
I was most impressed by the toasted muffin – crisp, soft and sweet. As I sliced through the eggs topped with a tangy, appetizing sauce, its yolk oozed out and it was pure golden and flowy goodness. Seriously, what an exemplary poached egg.
The limelight was not entirely stolen though, as its sides were just as delightful. The sausages were tender and juicy, while the mushrooms were infused with truffle oil. Most surprising of all were the baked beans, tasty and distinctly different from the canned, mushy ones most restaurants serve.
And because no visit to Lady M is complete without her signature cakes, we had to grab a few!
Alas, all good things come to an end. Lady Baltimore is only available from 1-10 May 2015 as a Mother’s Day Special, so try it while you still can!
A trip to Lady M isn’t complete without trying the signatures that earned her a reputation for cakes. After sampling 3 different Mille Crepes, it’s no wonder why they’re so well liked. When you start eating, the paper-thin crepe layers harmonize with one another and melts in your mouth almost immediately.
Some say dessert IS the main course, but Lady M at Orchard Central makes some pretty neat savouries you shouldn’t miss, of which M’s Big Break was the most outstanding. I had expected the famed Mille Crepes to blow me away, but they’re a little jelat if you don’t have a sweet tooth. Mimosa was mediocre, but Lady Baltimore was most impressive – both a looker and a lovely treat.
