When the news of Antoinette s closure broke in June last year, loyal fans were left absolutely devastated.
Helmed and owned by chef Pang Kok Keong, the popular cafe had nine years of rich history and was known for its gorgeous French pastries that have left a mark on Singapore s baking scene.
Pang hasn t left F&B just yet. In fact, around a month after Antoinette shuttered, he went on to open a stall at Xin Tekka Food Hall specialising in Hakka noodles.

This cosy little shop located along River Valley Road specialises in small batch artisanal gelato and sorbets that are absolute flavour bombs (from $5 for a single scoop). Co-owners Jack and Ingrid draw their inspiration from anything and everything around them, and channel them into their creations.
Butterknife Folk’s extensive range of gelato spans from the good old classics, such as vanilla and strawberry to the bold and quirky, such as nostalgic Root Beer Float (think: A&W) and funky Roquefort Bleu that is made with blue cheese, ondeh ondeh, and a raspberry speculoos.
