We devoured everything at Le Matin!!

Le Matin recently launched a new menu at their ION outlet and everything slaps and is worth every single calorie!!

Lemon Thyme Madeleines | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There is a reason why that is the cover photo haha because it’s probably my favourite out of everything I tried. I wasn’t expecting the Madeleines to be served warm and crispy and I finished almost the entire bowl by myself cus they were too addictive and yummy.

Bread & Butter | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This starter dish is also another one of my favs and it was such a brilliant pairing! The whole wheat milk buns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and they tasted so good even without the savoury porcini butter but of course, the butter elevated the experience. Petition for them to sell the butter!!

Crab Waffles | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are a crab lover and you love savoury dishes, you must check this out! The umami crab tartare and taramasalata dip really elevated the crispy seafood butter waffles as the waffles tasted a bit meh on their own. Also they were really generous with the crab tartare chunks so you can taste real crab chunks with every dip and bite.

Steak Frites | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Honestly nothing extraordinary but the herb butter sauce on top of the steak really blew me away!!

Brown Butter Artichoke Wedges | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was intrigued by this dish when I first saw it on IG and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The artichoke wedges were fried golden, they were crispy on the outside and tender within. Though it was recommended to be paired with the lemon thyme aioli, I prefer the wedges on their own.

Mangosteen & Lychee Granita | ⭐️⭐️

This dessert compromises of mangosteen sorbet, lychee granita, and lemongrass bubbles. Not particularly fond of this so I suggest you can skip this if you are not a mangosteen or lychee fan, but it was a refreshing and a great palate cleanser after eating all the savoury dishes.

Soufflé Au Chocolat | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I couldn’t get enough of this!! The soufflé was baked to perfection and I love the hazelnut praline inside, which had a hint of sweetness to balance the dark chocolaty soufflé. I was quite confused by the taste of the reduced milk ice cream initially, cus it was a bit bland and it tasted neither like a rich cream nor an ice cream so I didn’t know whether to like it or not. But somehow, it worked well with the soufflé and I wished they could give a bigger scoop haha

Bonus: Rum & Raisin Choux Bun | ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am not a fan of alcohol so rum is usually too bitter and strong for my liking, but this boozy choux bun filled with rum & raisin cream and a pecan praline center changed my mind! (Bought this for mum but I ended up eating almost half of it hahah) The rum wasn’t too strong and I like the crispy sable at the bottom as it added a crunch to the soft bun.

I forgot to take a picture but I bought the almond croissant too and sorry, it was a no from me hahah 🫢 I have had better ones but I will give credits to the crunchy almonds, at least they were not lao hong 😂

Overall, it was such a pleasant experience dining at Le Matin and I am looking forward to trying the other pastries and cakes there 😆
