When everyone else has already been here and has posted perhaps tons of pictures of its well-known mille crepes, I've just been here last January. I heard from my friends that the outlet was still extremely crowded especially in peak hours and thereby to avoid that, my friends and I came here early in the morning just at the time they opened the door for the customers.
The venue came in very unique design, not being complete 2-storey outlet, but only partly instead. Some seats were literally located along the steep staircase, kinda scary as it's quite narrow as well.
Mainly covered with white, it delivered classic yet casual ambience. High ceiling with huge glass windows at the front part, letting the guests to enjoy the view of the busy Orchard road while munching their desserts. And actually, the best view could be enjoyed from the most narrow corner I mentioned before.
As I was always too weak to resist any desserts and the time for choosing which one to go for's always tough for me, therefore this order time at Lady M wasn't an exception. I had no choice but to ask the waitress on the most recommended ones. Unique stuff, they actually made the menu came in order, starting from the most ordered cake. No, I didn't end up opt for the cake from like the top 3 only giggling. I used that menu for my reference, but still finally went for the ones I guesstimated would be awesome.
Strawberry Mille Feuille (SGD 9.63)
The main reason we went for this cake was because we wanted to try something new, the one we hadn't seen being posted by anyone else. The choice went to this so called 'Thousand-layer cake', serving layers of puff pastry, whipped cream, sponge cake, vanilla cream, strawberry jam, and fresh strawberries. Making it more special, there's a touch of kirsch hidden in the cake, which was basically brandy distilled from fermented juice of cherries. The flavor was balanced as the creaminess was complemented with refreshing taste from the sour and sweet fruit cuts and jam. Though overall it's a decent one, I honestly preferred the puff pastry to be more flaky instead of kinda soggy.
Chocolate Mille Crepes (SGD 9.63)
Chocolate Mille Crepes (SGD 9.63)
Even far before we arrived here, I still remember the first time I mentioned to my SG-trip buddies that I wanted to try Lady M, my friend Yenny had repeatedly said that their Choco mille crepes was mandatory. As I didn't doubt her and the cake was indeed the most favorite, it became even the first one mentioned to be listed on the order. Yet, I intentionally put it as the last one here in the review, just to make it a climax.
Presentation wise, the cake did deserve two thumbs up. All the layers were faultlessly arranged that the distance between all of them were equal. The perfection turned it to be so seductive to resist. When it came to taste, the outer beauty didn't tell even a single lie. The texture was heavenly smooth with the super-thin crepe base and moist creme layers in between, literally burst out indulgence when it melted in your mouth. The strong dark chocolate taste created rich flavor to spoil the palate of any chocolate addict. Voilaaaa!
Hot Cappuccino
Not much to comment as they're indeed not coffee specialist so I didn't set that high expectation on this cup. Simply said, despite I preferred it to be bolder, it was not a bad companion to my cakes
Falling for their mille crepes, I could doubtlessly claim that Lady M would be one of my must stops in my following visits to Singapore. I would for sure come back for the other flavors and the other cakes I was attracted to, as well. It's proven that people indeed didn't just 'buy the venue', but also the taste!
