Alice Boulangerie has officially reopened, transforming itself into a vibrant dining destination that caters to every meal of the day — breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner. Renowned for its handcrafted pastries that blend creativity with meticulous craftsmanship, Alice Boulangerie is now extending its culinary excellence to a new savoury menu. This grand reopening introduces an exciting dinner selection that infuses Asian influences into traditional European dishes, paired with exquisitely plated desserts that are as captivating to the eye as they are to the palate.
A Whimsical Escape: Step Inside the Redesigned Alice Boulangerie
The revamped Alice Boulangerie offers a magical dining experience, with a redesigned layout that increases seating capacity from 45 to 70 guests. Upon entering, diners are whisked away to a whimsical world inspired by the habitats of squirrels. The interior is a visual feast, featuring warm wood accents that create a cosy, inviting atmosphere. A unique wall feature inspired by tiled roofs, where squirrels are imagined to run along, adds a playful splash of colour and texture, enhancing the enchanting theme. The space also boasts a charming shopfront with a newly repositioned bakery and coffee section, forming an eye-catching kiosk counter for easy takeaways.
New Culinary Delights: A Fusion of Flavours
With the reopening, patrons can indulge in a medley of new offerings that showcase Asian-inspired flavours masterfully infused into classic European dishes. Start with the decadent Seared Foie Gras Toast ($32), where seared foie gras rests elegantly atop homemade brioche, accompanied by a fig and balsamic compote, green peppercorn jus, herb salad, pickled golden raisins, and pistachios — a truly indulgent delight.
Another standout is the Otak Prawn Croquette ($19), a harmonious blend of halibut and tiger prawn, mixed with Asian spices and enrobed in crisp Japanese breadcrumbs. Served with tangy kaffir lime mayonnaise, this dish promises a delicious fusion of flavours and textures that elevate every bite.
Sharing Platters: A Feast for Two
For those dining with friends or family, the Sharing Platters are a must-try. The Laksa Paella ($46) is a delightful fusion of traditional Spanish paella and rich, homemade laksa gravy, topped with quail eggs and smoky Spanish grilled seafood, including octopus, black mussels, and tiger prawns. Finished with crispy beancurd puff and aromatic laksa leaf, this dish delivers the comforting flavours of laksa in every bite.
Meat lovers will relish the Sakura ‘Cherry Blossom’ Pork Loin ($60), where tender Sakura pork is marinated in honey mustard spices and herbs, then grilled over binchotan to achieve a rich smoky char. Served with charred mustard greens, spiced apple puree, roasted hazelnuts, pickled golden raisins, and chives, and elevated with a creamy green peppercorn sauce, this dish is sure to leave you craving more.
Don’t miss the Pork Belly Claypot Rice ($42), a hearty dish of Japanese rice cooked in a homemade mushroom kombu broth and topped with salted fish, Chinese sausages, preserved olive vegetables, tender braised pork belly, and grilled asparagus. Best enjoyed with sambal Cincalok, this dish offers a delightful culinary experience.
Signature Desserts: A Sweet Finale
No meal at Alice Boulangerie is complete without one of their exceptional desserts. Conclude your dining experience with Pebbles ($22), a creation featuring black sesame mochi delicately placed on a bed of peanut butter crumble, accompanied by smooth peanut butter, tangy raspberry jam, and a dark chocolate stem. This dish is elegantly finished with a quenelle of decadent black sesame gelato, making it a true work of art.
Another must-try is Forest ($23), a chocolate log made from 72% Araguani dark chocolate, filled with cherry compote, almond chantilly cream, pistachio praline, and kirsch-infused morello cherries. Served with a side of cherry compote and dark chocolate gelato on a sea salt dark chocolate crumble, this dessert is a visually stunning and indulgent treat for chocolate enthusiasts.
Beloved Classics: A Taste of Familiar Comfort
In addition to the new menu highlights, fans of Alice Boulangerie will be pleased to find their favourite classics still available. Enjoy the Tiger Prawn Capellini ($29), with al dente capellini spun in a secret prawn stock, fresh cherry tomatoes, and chili flakes, topped with baked mentaiko tiger prawns. Or savour the Wagyu Beef Cheek Risotto ($37), where creamy Arborio rice is simmered with sweet butternut squash and topped with tender Wagyu beef cheek, grilled asparagus, and crunchy pumpkin seeds for an umami crunch.
Don’t forget to indulge in the famously charming Squirrel ($14), a moist chocolate flourless cake layered with chocolate biscuit, pecan brownie, and salted caramel crémeux, coated with a dark chocolate crunch, and topped with an adorable squirrel made from orange milk chocolate crémeux and 64% Manjari chocolate mousse.
