So France Claymore @ 1 Claymore Drive

0 comments

We had a hard time finding this outlet. Pretty hidden and you probably won't notice it from the main roads. Staff was pretty nice and tried their best to guide us to the place over the phone when we called up to ask for more detailed directions.

One could also stock up on imported goodies such as cheeses, wines, condiments within the shop when dining here. As we had a reservation, we were led to our table pretty quickly.

lovely interior

let's have brunch!

drinks menu


Decided to do a light brunch as perhaps only two of us were super hungry while the other half were okay. Decided on baked camembert cheese, a savoury crepe and another sweet crepe to complete the meal.

The manager is a humorous guy and he was advising us on the sequence that we should be enjoying our orders. We learnt that we shouldn't be eating the camembert with a savoury/sweet crepe or something along the line. Hahaa, okay we will enjoy it one after the other then!

bread basket and butter (complimentary)


After our orders were taken, the bread basket was served. The butter serving was not enough for the four of us and thus, we shyly asked if we could have some more. The staff had no qualms on such request and immediately brought out 2 more portions of the butter. Thank you for your generosity!


yummy

How about a glass of wine for a mid-day tipple? Why not?

Bordeaux M de Monsegur 2016 @$14

Baked Camembert @$20 (half)


We were actually surprised when we dig into the baked camembert. Was it supposed to be that watery? Hmm. More liquid than what we used to have in other places where it was only lightly baked till soft and with a drizzle of honey. Here, it is just the pure taste of a liquid camembert (savoury, creamy) after the top layer was broken off.

Served with crispy toast but I preferred it with the baguette as the bread could soak up more of the cheese!

La Montagnarde @$22

bacon, Raclette cheese, caramelised onions

The savoury crepe was good. Love the accompanying salad at the side. Felt like a balanced meal.

Ended the meal with a sweet crepe but my friends were disappointed. The crepe seemed to be undercooked and more doughy in texture. For me, am not sure if it was supposed to be of this texture but I could still eat it. Just felt it was a tad underwhelming as it seemed to be prepared rather simply; banana slices, crepe and lots of chocolate sauce.

La Banane - Choc @$12


All in all, the staff are friendly and efficient here. This place has good relaxing vibes to it. 

Thank you Tiara, Kris and Shermaine for the treat!

Super Burst MSW Giant Puff


The MSW Giant Puff really lives up to its name because it was seriously huge! As big as my fist. The product came slightly frozen, so let it thaw first before biting into it. But seriously, who can resist? I actually bit down on it while it was still in its pretty solid state and boy, it was like eating durian sorbet.

Once it is adequately thawed, the pulpy fillings of fragrant and deliciously sweet MSW envelopes your entire mouth when you bite into these giant puffs. Lovely slight bitterness towards the end but overall so so good.

D24 Snowy Mochi





D24 Snowy Mochi @$15 per box of 6


of a cute size



The mochi skin was super soft and thin enough to burst the D24 fillings if one ever squeezed the mochi slightly. Ate it in one bite and it was super satisfying. Be careful though as it could be addictive since it was of such a cute size and one can't help but want for more.


Dark Choco MSW Mousse




Dark Choco MSW Mousse @$16 (UP $20)

Dark Choco MSW Mousse


The Dark Choco MSW Mousse was so good that one wouldn't want to share this dessert with anyone else. It looks rich and tasted decadent. Filled with The Durian Bakery signature SilkyGold™ Durian Puree, it was just scoop after scoop going into the mouth until none is left.

Sinful, indeed but no regrets....at least not until I looked at the weighing scale.

all mine


To impress the sweetheart, I'd recommend the Dark Choco MSW Mousse, and for the family, the Super Burst MSW Giant Puffs. Hence, just get the Signature Durian Dessert Box to enjoy it all!
