Ah, time to relax and have a good brunch in a nice cafe that makes me feel like I'm enjoying an idyllic life somewhere in Europe. And Chez Suzette is where I get just that.
The place is chic with a relaxing vibe: lots of greenery plus quaint shophouses on the outside as backdrop, white marble tables, white rattan chairs and lots of lights streaming through the full-length windows with black frames. And little lovely touches, like plants, flowers, ornaments with European influences to make this cafe feel like one in Paris. I got a seat at the corner, which feels so cosy. Good thing I came early to snag it. The place is full by 11:30am on a holiday.
There are quite a number of brunch items and pasta dishes for selection as mains, and I set my sights on Organic Egg Mayo since I simply just have greater craving for croissant over toast. I'm blown away by the generous amount of egg mayo stuffed between the halves of croissant. This egg to carbs ratio is so good. The light sprinkling of pepper and salt while adding bits of excitement to the taste, allows the richness of the egg mayo to take the centre stage.
I also add supplements of Parma Ham and French Butter to perk things further up. I like this concept of adding supplements according to one's liking. By the way, the French Butter is a must-add-on. The creamy goodness elevates the dish from very good to excellent. Parma Ham is also a very good accompaniment to the dish by introducing the taste of meat .
For the theatrics of blazing flames, I opt to add a top up of Grand Marnier Flambé for my Crêpes Suzette. Watch the video above to experience it ... visually.
More importantly, the crêpes are silky soft, which makes them a pure delight to savour. This is one of the best crêpes I have in terms of texture. The floral citrus taste of orange juxtaposes very well with the herbal bitterness of Grand Marnier. The portion of the crêpes is pretty huge, but I can actually finish them lol
Besides from being a great place to relax and to have dates at, Chez Suzette is actually super child-friendly. Colouring sheets and colour pencils are provided upon request to keep the kids occupied. It is cool to see dating couples, friends, whole families and solo diners (quite a number of us there 😉) all dining at this one place. The service crew is efficient, polite and fast to respond to requests.
I really enjoy dining here since it's so relaxing here and the food is good.
Thoughts: Feel so good to pamper myself with a treat here
