I guess the sentiments about Lady M have changed quite a fair bit ever since their early days in Singapore at Marina Square, but I still hold the opinion of their Mille Crepes being one of the better and more accessible ones with multiple outlets around that readily satisfies my cravings for a Mille Crepe.

Launched in November of this year, the Truffle Mille Crepe is their latest addition to their series of the flavoured Mille Crepes, which includes flavours like the Green Tea Mille Crepes, Champagne Mille Crepes and Rose Mille Crepes; just to name a few. The Truffle Mille Crepe is described to be made of handmade chocolate crèpes, dark chocolate-truffle cream, chocolate ganache, truffled leuillantine, and cacao nibs. It is also said that the Truffle Mille Crepe features chocolate from the Caribbean Islands. Whilst most would have expected the cake to be more of a chocolate truffle creation, the Truffle Mille Crepe was pretty much a surprise for what it is — a cake that had seemingly incorporated the use of truffle for a slight savoury twist. Amidst the dark chocolate-truffle cream spread across the multiple layers of handmade chocolate crepes is the truffled leuillantine; think of them as small, truffle-infused crumbles that comes with a distinct truffle aroma that attempts to create a sweet-savoury note together with the chocolate elements — pretty adventurous and tickles the tastebuds in a rather intriguing way that catches one by surprise on the very first bite. Otherwise, the Mille Crepe isn’t overly sweet, and comes tightly packed between the layers so it doesn’t quite shift around the layers and disintegrates layer-by-layer as one slices through the cake; something I quite adore about Lady M’s Mille Crepes in general.

At $12 a slice, the Truffle Mille Crepe is probably one of the more pricier options in Lady M’s menu (the priciest in my memory would be the Champagne Mille Crepe at $25, available at Lady M Champagne Bar at ION Orchard); probably more like an item to have just once if you must, considering how one could have gotten a more artisanal offering at almost the same price at The Bar at Waku Ghin from their Patisserie Platine menu. That being said, they are probably one of the very few options for something fancy if one is around Westgate, though we did wish that their operations here were a little more streamlined here considering how the staff felt rather disorganised; something that marred the dining experience here for a few who had dined there on the same day which we made our visit for the Truffle Mille Crepe.
