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!!

Wednesday and the long overdue foodie

It's Wednesday today!

I was telling my bff yesterday how much i loved Wednesday since it marks the mid-week and weekend will be coming after which. Oh weekend, i really wish to see you more frequently in the calendar so not to be shy and hide your face please? : /

Anyway usually i'd be happy on a wednesday but today has been an exceptional one. Perhaps due to the nightmare i had this morning in which the boy turned into a monster that we could no longer be together. I was super duper sad and woke up in tears. 

=______________________________= 


And kept on sobbing for another few minutes before i fell back asleep again. 😣


Not really in the mood to do anything but quite happy that i found several job ads that are seemingly okay. Gonna send out resumes tomorrow and hopefully will receive reply soon!

You may ask why not send out today. You know, sometimes it is all about mood hahahahahaha!


Ok continue from previous post!

Warning: picture-heavy and saliva-inducing!




AnMour @ Taman Sutera Utama again!

Prawn fritters if i'm not wrong


Chicken Cordon Bleu (?)



the mashed potato was really good!



Homemade pork patty burger
hmmm not so impressive though



I think they were panna cotta if i remember correctly
hmmm didn't like it


Have not been to AnMour for a while since my last visit. i feel that their standard has dropped slightly so it is no longer an option when deciding our lunch/dinner place.




Moonlight Cake House


Nasi Lemak
Surprisingly good!





Chocolate / Hazelnut Cake

The cake was okay but not to the extent where i would make a trip down just for their cakes. I guess this is just the standard of what a CAKE HOUSE, as they claim themselves as, should possess if they want their business to be sustainable for the long run.




食客 Korean BBQ


Kimchi Soup & Bibimbap

食客 is one of my favorite Korean restaurant
The foods were good but i really couldn't stand the poor ventilation : /




美寿司 Mishuji Japanese Restaurant @ Mount Austin


Salmon Nigiri @ RM8/+



Salmon Mentai Nigiri @ RM10/+



Hoshin Roll @ RM25/+


Overall experience was ok but i have a feeling that it seems to be a norm for sushi to be priced in this range nowadays when we would expect even better quality in older days at this amount paid. Inflation? I'm not too sure though. 

Perhaps consumers nowadays are willing to spend more for their tummy that businessmen out there are just taking advantage of this.

There are many other options out there so i will not travel all the way down to Austin just to have these localised Japanese foods. I would just pop by tha Kage Sushi or Ebisu at my area when i have any craving for Japanese foods, they are equally good too if not even better.




Toro's Espanol @ Permas (relocated to Bukit Indah, right behind Legato Pub & Bistro) - Must-try


Apple Dates Stuffed Chicken @ RM21/+



Seafood Paella from set lunch @ RM16.80/+


This was the second Spanish restaurant i came across. I liked the foods but i find their paella more oily than that from Koco Loco. Read more here --> Español Restaurante Koco Loco 




Ambush @ Bishan Junction 8 - Must-try


Soup of the day S$3.50



Okto Platter @ S$16.50/+


Portobello Salad @ S$10/+


I liked the foods and ambience very much. Pricing was rather reasonable too. Will definitely go back!




Bakerzin - Must-try


$24.90 Set Dinner - Waldorf Salad



$24.90 Set Dinner - Carbonara


$24.90 Set Dinner - Jivara



Ala Carte - Baked Sausages  $11.50/++



Bakerzin can be regarded as one of my favourite restaurant in Singapore! They used to have this Seafood Pie which both the boy and I liked very very much but it was no longer available ever since they revamped the menu.... Felt quite sad over this for some times.  😢


BAKERZIN, Y U NO SELL SEAFOOD PIE NOW???




Café Cartel

Caesar Salad with Smoked Salmon S$15.60/++




Trio Meat Lover's @ S$21.50/++



Bologna Cheezy Meatballs @ S$8.70


We wouldn't have ordered all these if we had not bought the Groupon vouchers loll. Not really worth it in my opinion.




RamenPlay


Chashu Ramen

Japanese Gyoza



Hiyashi Chuka


Oh well, nothing special about them...




Shimbashi Soba @ NEX - Must-try

Mini Yuzu Seiro @ S$18.90/++










Tamagoyaki - FOC


Matcha Ice-cream - FOC


Kaiso Salad @ S$7.80/++


The soba are freshly made daily and there is a showcasing area where a certified chef will be demonstrating the making process of soba. I knew the chef was certified because the cert was displayed on the glass lolol. 

Totally in love with this healthy meal! I will definitely go back for their soba again!



The Marco Polo Kitchen






It had really nice ambience and it was simply a good dining place. But seriously the foods were awful and also expensive that we didn't even border to give it a second chance. However it seems to be always crowded whenever we passed by. Should we give it a try again?




Bobby's @ Chijmes 


Baked Potato Skin with Cheese



Pork Rib



Pan-seared Fish



Good ambience, food were okay but rather expensive though. No, will not go back again.




Famous Mamak @ KL


The super famous nasi lemak! The chicken was da bomb!!!
SO.CRISPY.SO.GOOD.



The authentic Ibumie Goreng! 😱😱😱😱😱

SO. GOOD.
and cheap too!






oh gosh finally finished everything. Didn't realise there are SO MANY photos. 
Desserts coming up!
