A dessert post to mask the bitter heart

3 days after GE13 and i am still as heartbroken as the moment when the so-called official results were announced. Felt so sad whenever the Ubah banner or banner with image of Uncle LKS came into sight. :(

Anyway some say there are still chances for appeal and the opposition leader is brewing something so let's hope for the best!

Leave the bitter stuff behind and let's have some desserts!



Tea Dot @ NEX, Singapore

Lemon Meringue Tart

i liked it!
Not too sweet nor sour.


Lollipop Earl Grey

It was okay but a tad too sweet to my preference.
I'd prefer the Matcha Gravity




Da Paolo Gastronomia @ Serangoon Garden, Singapore

Crème Brûlée S$3.90/+

this was a Crème Brûlée that was not Brûlée enough loll
Taste okay but this is definitely not the one to go to when you have craving for it


Apple Tart | S$6/+

this was tart that was not so tart-y lolol
can't really remember the taste as i had it really long ago =_=
but no doubt it was good!



Tiramisu | S$11/+

Everybody knows how good Tiramisu from Da Paolo is. Must-try!



Crunchy Hazelnut

ordered this during my second visit.
I wondered they it was named CRUNCHY when i was not crunchy at all =_=



Banoffee Tart

Basically it's was Banana + toffee. It was okay but not too impressive though.




Bakerzin @ Jurong Point, Singapore

Lemon Tart

oh well, just a normal piece.




Secret Recipe

Absolute Chocolate | RM10/+

i remember when i first knew about Secret Recipe, the cakes were mostly RM4.90/pcs while brownies were RM3.50/pcs back then.

NOW?

this was freaking RM10/pcs!!!

Ok lar this is from the premium range that's why it's more expensive. BUT even the normal cheesecakes / cream cakes cost RM7.50 each now!

INFLATION, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY CAKE?




Just Want Cafe @ Permas Jaya

Café Latté

Just Want Cafe is a cozy cafe located at a little corner around Permas Jaya.
It's definitely a good place for your to have some good coffee while catching up with friends.


Had totoro latté art!
Not to forget their awesome biscotti too.



Tofu Cheese Cake

Had this the other day. Didn't quite like it at first but the more i ate the better it tasted.
The texture fell between that of light cheese and the heavy new york cheese cake.

Did i mention they have good tiramisu too?





Mad Jack @ NEX, Singapore

Tiramadsu | S$4.90/+



Sweetie Pie | S$3.90/+




U Dessert @ Mount Austin

Mango Coconut Pudding
This was good but the coconut seemed to have given me flatulence.... :(


Mango Cheong-Fun
Yum yum yum the mangoes were soooooooooo sweet!




Bread Society @ ION Orchard

Lemon Tart



Looked appealing but trust me - it was really really not as good as it seems to be.


Apple Crumble Tart


I'm not even bothered to describe it.
Simply another disappointment




 Espresso Sporting Club "M" @ Monster Cafe, Nusa Bestari

The interior, very interesting though.



Carrot Cake

The cake itself was quite dry and tough........... : /



Café Latté

Too bitter to my liking.




Twelve Cupcakes @ Parkway Parade, Singapore

Chocolate Chocolate | S$2.50


Red Velvet | S$2.50

Twelve Cupcakes are my love as they are sooooooooooo good especially this Red Velvet!!!
The cream cheese tastes just right and the sponge base is SO soft and fluffy.

MUST-TRY!




Pierre Hermé Paris

Assorted Macarons


No i didn't go to Paris. But i really wish i did T_T
Thanks to my beloved miss choco who always bring me these awesome sweet stuff all the way from France!

I couldn't remember the exact flavour of each one, but there was flavour like FOIE GRAS!




OH SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! :O :O :O



NOT PH but Sadaharu AOKI
equally good!!!!!!!!




Cupcakes with Love @ Katong Road, Singapore


It is located along the road which i take to the boy's office. Finally there was this fine day i managed to stop by and got my hands on them!


A chart showing all the variations.



Display cabinet





Minimum purchase of 4 pieces for free box!



To my disbelief the small little box costs S$2 each :O
For purchase of 3 cupcakes and below, cupcakes will be packed in PAPER BAG =__________=

For the price of S$3.50 each, i was quite shocked and disappointed that they are providing a proper packaging at extra cost.

Mind you, Twelve Cupcakes, at the price of S$2.50 each, provides a specially-designed container for individual cake.



Top, L-R: Red Velvet, Strawberry Surprise
Bottom, L-R: Adult Chocolate (contains Rums), Polka Chocs
$3.50/each

Taste ok but the texture (and price) is in no way a good match of Twelve Cupcakes.
Also, they could be more generous in the amount of topping.

Will not go back again. :<


The hidden polka dots.




Carffee @ Taman Molek

Signature Tiramisu | RM9.90

Pretty good! Nowadays i have not special liking towards Tiramisu anymore because i can make a really good one lolol


Café Latté | RM9.90

This is my favourite café latté so far. Brewed from Southern coffee bean.




You might notice that i did not give much comments or description on these foods. This is simply because i procrastinated for loooooooooooooooog enough that i have forgotten about how they taste already =___________________=


Promise will be posting up-to-date entry!!

What (not) to eat post! Do not read this if you are hungry. You have been forewarned.

Else do not blame me for making you drool at the middle of the night. lolol

This is not a proper blog post but an attempt to give attention to photos that have been kept unattended in my camera roll for a year (or more). Photos I'm sorry T_T #guilty.jpg


Also posted with the intention of telling you to try (or not to try) them!


1/
Green Tea Cheese Cake from Secret Recipe.
They should have renamed it to Bottled Wheatgrass Drink Cheese Cake




2/

The very highly-raved about Rich & Good Cake Shop
It was good, but not extraordinarily good though.



3/
Salad yew-char-kway!!!!!!!!!!!
RM3.50 for 2 yew-char-kway + coleslaw.
The only place (i know) that is still selling this is the Malay stall right opposite Marrybrown in City Square.





4/
Fondant chocolate from Beard Papa

This is also da bomb! It's already heavenly at room temperature but it's even better after heated up because you will get the oozing chocolate centre like the chocolate lava cake! #MUST-TRY



5/
Dorayaki!!!
Forgotten what filling already so apparently it was not so fantastic.




6/
Okowa (sticky rice) from Yonehachi located at basement of Takashimaya.
You could choose from this assortment set or individual type of okowa. I liked it!
Gosh Japanese foods are also good. Even wasabi tastes good. #iwannagotojapanandeatALLthefoods



7/
Walnut & butterscotch X Rum & Raisin X Macadamia Supreme
Well ice-cream can never go wrong especially when it was NEW ZEALAND NATURAL




8/
I had this Osaka version of Hokkaido Cake because it was 99% similar to Hokkaido cake but has been named OSAKA CAKE.  =________________=



9/
The famous Boon Tong Kee chicken. $4.50 each so expensive but it was just SO SO.






10/
Almond caramel waffe from Sucré Waffle.
Trying once is (more than) enough.



11/
Smoked Salmon Platter from MOF



12/
I have zero resistance for this kind of Gongcha-like beverages but i always got disappointed by the weird milky taste and this one was no exception.



13/
Rum & Raisin X Moscato
Let me repeat: Ice-cream can never go wrong! =_=
Especially branded one lolol



14/
Ikea token for...........

15/
Ice-cream cone!!

When i saw the machine i happily went to exchange for coins wanting to dispense the ice-cream like how the staff at McDonald did YET some smart people invented this fully automated mechanism where ALL you need to do is simply insert the token --> place your cone on the stand --> press the start button --> wait for the ice-cream to be ready.

......... :x

Anyway the ice-cream was OK, very childhood flavor - if u get what i meant. ;)







































16/
Absolute Chocolate from Secret Recipe, RM10.60 each

From the price you can already tell it is the absolutely chocolatey Absolute Chocolate
Very, very rich chocolate cake that is a little bit too much. Royal Chocolate Cake, the other new flavor, suits me more!



17/
BEST YAM CAKE EVER.
Homemade is always the best!!



18/
My favorite pork bratwurst and sauerkraut from Chinatown
The boss was a German and their sausages and sauerkraut are really good
Remember to choose the ketchup when asked for choice of sauces. It's not the normal ketchup we eat but a special recipe. If a ketchup that doesn't taste like ketchup, is it still a ketchup? hahahaha
Mashed potato is good too lolol



19/
99.99999999% same as Ireland Potato but it seems to have been taken over by this CRAZY POTATO :(
Favorite wasabi mayo flavor! Bought from Mid Valley, KL.


20/
Red Velvet from Coffee Bean. Pretty good :)



21/
Fried Kway Teow from Sedap Corner. Sedap indeed!



22/
Only in Malaysia - Maggie Goreng tambah ayam :D
from mamak chain Ayub!

Have been addicted to Nasi Briyani that spices up my life! :D
And this was Nasi Briyani tambah ayam from Habib, RM7.50



ok i hope these photos have successfully make you hungry.
