Ready to be Dazzled? Smile Oct 27, 2015   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Taiwanese | Café

 
Dazzling Cafe 蜜糖吐司專賣店, the Taiwanese dessert chain, has opened its Singapore branch at the new Capitol Piazza. Dazzling Cafe Singapore seems like it is designed for the instagram generation. The cafe, its food and even its menu all look colourful and dressed-up to be photographed. The whole cafe seems to be staffed by young pretty girls all dolled up in apron and dresses.

 
Even the decor of the entire cafe is so "cute". Almost like you're entering a dollhouse. Are you ready to be DAZZLED?Looking at the menu, the font is tiny and it does take a while or two to squint to read the name of the dish as well as what's in the dish. I wish they would have bold the dish name so we can actually tell the staff what we want to order, rather than read the ingredients of the dish to the staff, which is exactly what I did!

 
They have pastas, brunch items and most of the items are slightly higher in price compared to your typical hipster cafe but they seemed to have slightly unique renditions like an orange sauce based pasta for example.

 
Dazzling Cafe is famed for its desserts and especially its signature Honey Toasts but it has a separate menu for savoury dishes. The mains are mainly spaghetti. Dazzling Cafe Singapore has a unique to Singapore Spicy Seafood Tomyam Tomato Spaghetti.

 
Their drink menu seemed simple and quite pricey as well.

 
The honey toasts at Dazzling need no introduction. They are famed from Taiwan and even their menu here is so attractive. It's hard to wonder if anyone can walk into this cafe and not order a single honey toast!?

 
It was a difficult decision trying to decide which toast to get. I wanted to try all of them!

1. Cream of Mushroom (200g/serve) $8.90++
Strong truffle aroma

Strong truffle aroma

 
The layers of mushrooms in this soup is sublime. Dazzling uses different mushroom flavours to make a robust mushroom flavour. I find that when you layer any type of mushroom soup with multiple types of mushrooms you get a full flavor that brings out the best in possible flavor. They also use a touch of truffle oil to help boost the flavor.

It was a decent portion for one person and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

2. Bacon and Mushroom Fettuccine (320g/serve) $18.90++

 
Bacon and sauteed mushrooms served over fettuccine cream sauce topped with 63 degree egg. The presentation is simple, yet really pretty! Why? Because RUNNY EGG! The 63 degree egg itself doubles up as the "sauce" for the dish. The waitress will also warn you before hand that it is a partially uncooked egg. 

I thought this fettuccine tasted very different from your typical bacon and mushroom pasta. Moreover, the cream sauce was a tad too diluted. A comforting dish, at best. But definitely not worth $18.90++! The cream of mushroom soup had way more mushroom flavour in comparison to this dish.

3. Scallop and Crabmeat Spaghetti Aglio Olio (320g/serve) $18.90++
A tad too dry

A tad too dry

 
Pan-seared scallops and white crabmeat tossed in spaghetti with red capsicum, garlic and fresh basil. It was a light and refreshing dish. I didn’t really taste too much seafood, sadly enough, but it was lightly tossed with olive oil, tomatoes, and broccoli. Always good to get those greens in!

 
The Aglio Olio was flavoured up so well having absorbed the aroma of Olive Oil and Shallots. But even though it is an Aglio Olio, I felt that it was tad too dry. I enjoyed the bacon and mushroom fettuccine alot more.

4. The Usuals $22.90++

 
Poached eggs, cream spinach and parma ham on brioche toast, finished with hollandaise and micro herbs. Flawless poached eggs, well rounded hollandaise with a hint of spice, and delicious spinach. What's not to love! The parma ham also adds a slight hint of saltiness to your dish. The salad is also dressed well with a sweet sauce. All in all, a very plesant dish, despite the high price. I would definitely get this again rather than their pastas.

5. Upstream Catch $22.90++

 
Smoked Salmon and cream spinach nested on toasted brioche finished with soft poached eggs. This dish will amaze you with its wonderful poached eggs and a hollandaise sauce with a crispy texture from the brioche toast. The smoked salmon and spinach are brilliant accompaniments!
Smoked Salmon and poached eggs

This is one upstream catch that you wouldn't want to miss!

6. Pan Seared Duck Breast in Orange Mustard Sauce (320g/serve) $24.90++

 
Spaghetti with Pan-seared duck breast served in Orange reduction and Pommary mustard sauce. The orange mustard sauce itself was sweet rather than savoury. The al dente pasta in a sweet orange sauce together with medium-rare seared duck breast was an interesting combination.

 
As stated in the menu that this is a chef recommend dish so I have decided to give it a try instead of my standard mentaiko / aglio olio pasta. Do note I found the duck breast meat to be a bit tough even though I was informed that the duck breast would be cooked to 70% doneness.

7. Caribbean Fruit Punch with Calpis Sorbet $8++

 
This drink provides a tropical tangy finish in our hot weather. Sip it fast though as the fruit bits fall off the sorbet as it melts. It took a long while for this drink to be served and we had to get the attention of the wait staff several times to check on the progress of the drink. I would like to mention that the staff were indeed very attentive and friendly. Good job girls!

 
It was more of a slushie and you can either can a brainfreeze trying to drink it or wait for a while for it to melt so that you can sip it up. Unfortunately for me, the drink took too long to arrive and I didn't want a brainfreeze so I asked the staff to pack it in a to-go cup and left. 

8. Caramel Latte Macchiato $7++

 
This drink arrived shortly after ordering and it tasted pretty good. It was real coffee, not useless sugar-overdosed cofffee. I definitely felt my energy levels getting perked up while drinking this.

The latte art was pretty cute too.

9. Banana Chocolate Honey Toast (Normal) $17.90++

 
When we were served this dessert, everyone at the table was going "wah! WAH!". The presentation of the Banana Chocolate Honey Toast was truly impressive. Being topped off with pistachios and surrounded by bananas with chocolate syrup drizzled all over the toast. This is the reason to be DAZZLED!

 
Given a choice of crispy, normal, soft for the toast. We choose Normal.

 
After you are done instagramming your Honey Toast, the wait staff will come over and help you "dissect" and serve the toast. You are also technically supposed to cut up the toast FIRST! and then drizzle the honey over the toast. Unfortunately, we were too engrossed with instagramming and started to pour the honey over the toast before we were given instructions.

 
Cubes of crispy breads hidden in the enclosed box of toast is my favourite thing! I drizzled the honey over the cubes of crispy bread and spread the chocolate syrup, together you have a heavenly combination in your mouth! It's quite a big portion and we finished everything including the box of toast.

 
The one that is clear about Dazzling Cafe is that they have gotten their whole aesthetic down, both in terms of decor & food presentation. It’s perhaps the most obvious reason on their current popularity. While I do like their gorgeous Honey Toasts, I really can’t look past the premium prices.

Well, from the limited dishes I tried, I suppose they fare better in their savories here in Singapore. But I know, all of you are just gonna ignore this and order the toast and waffle anyway. The presentation of their food definitely did not disappoint, but their food could definitely use some tweaking!

It is worth a trip to this place if: (1) you’re a huge dessert fiend, (2) willing to wait (even before opening time), and (3) willing to spend above average amount for a meal / dessert.

Located in Demsey is the White Rabbit. It has a rather decent sized parking lot which is free of charge for customers. The White Rabbit is more of an upscale fine dining place you would take someone to celebrate a special meal with. It is also a beautifully restored 1930s Ebenezer chapel.
Down the rabbit hole!

Down the rabbit hole!

 
The White Rabbit resides in a restored old chapel along the stretch of Dempsey Hill. The historical establishment itself is very captivating in creating a unique ‘Alice in Wonderland’ concept of The White Rabbit, attempting to bring you to another world. 

 
There's a very cute outdoor dining area lined with lounge chairs. The staff explained that they were setting up a wedding the next door. I can definitely see this place being used for weddings. 

 
I am glad that they managed to preserve the stained glass from when this was a place of worship. The atmosphere in the chapel was peaceful and romantic with ceiling lights as well very powerful air conditioning systems. So much so, that they staff offered us ladies, scarves or even warm water instead of cold water.

1. Truffle Mac and Cheese with mushrooms $16++

 
Though this is an appetizer portion. It had alot of mac and cheese and thus, became very filling quickly. The amount of truffle added to the mac and cheese was very significant and you could smell and taste it. They were generous with the mushrooms as well! The texture of the cheese was warm enough to enjoy and yet stick all the macaroni together.

 
There was also bread service. I picked tomato basil bread, and since the bread is all freshly baked in house. The bread was piping hot and extremely crisp to begin with. The provided butter melted immediately once I applied it into the bread. 

2. Deconstructed Cheese Cake $18++

 
This was an interesting dessert. The wait staff asked me to mix up everything on the plate as there was graham crumble, blueberry sorbet and pop rocks all layered one on top of the other. The cream cheese wasn't too sweet or sour. The pop rock popped in your mouth in every mouthful. It was definitely a surprise for me. I enjoyed that the graham crackers were crumbles instead of a hard crust, that you would find in any typical cheesecake. This way, you could enjoy the graham crackers bit by bit.

3. Chocolate Fondant $16++

 
The chocolate fondant consisted of a caramel core lava cake with fruits and banana and rum ice cream. The lava cake wasn't moist on the exterior, but rather it was bread crust like. On the inside, was a small pocket of caramel that flowed out like liquid gold! The banana and rum ice cream was full of creamy goodness. I guess to compliment all the sweet stuff, all the fruits provided were sour?

All in all, a very beautiful place to spend time with your loved ones. The food and the ambience are both top notch!

Categories : Teochew | Dim Sum | Seafood

Established since 1992, East Ocean Teochew Restaurant is well known in Singapore and the region for serving the best in Teochew cuisine and dim sum. In 2012, they moved to Takashimaya shopping centre and as pioneers in the art of Chinese cuisine, they constantly innovate by introducing new products such as cute looking dim sum, aimed at children.

 
You can consider East Ocean if you want something more than just your traditional dim sum. As I had some friends visiting  from out of town, I decided to give them a try.

 
On thursday at 12pm, the dining area was maybe 30% full. They were groups of business people and you could tell they were important discussions over the dim sum, as they barely touched their food!

 
So here's the cute dim sum menu I was talking about. Nothing that really stood out to me. I was hoping for cute looking siew mai, har gau or even char siew pau maybe?

1. Pan Fried Carrot Cake $5++
Pan fried pretty well!

Pan fried pretty well!

 
So first up was the pan fried carrot cake, one my my favourites. The texture was great, charred on the exterior to give it a crisp bite and yet soft and warm in the certain. You could clearly see the shreds of carrot inside with small pork cubes. It was flavourful and actually met my expectation.

2. Steamed Spare Ribs $4.80++
Served with yam

Served with yam

 
The spare ribs didn't have much bones with them, so it was very easy to eat. The meat was very well seasoned and flavourful. My foreign really enjoyed this. Hidden underneath the layer of meat, are yam cubes. The yam was steamed till it was all mushy but yet soaked up the essences of the spare ribs!

3. Lion Fish $6++
It's a fried prawn ball

It's a fried prawn ball

 
So we got these cute fish shaped, fried prawn balls. My friends and I all agreed, it was just for looks. We would pick har gau any day over these. 

4. Little Big Foot $6++

 
When this was served, my American friends went, "Wow". I think the chefs did great by innovatively placing almond flakes on the back of "Big Foot". They were so cute, it took awhile before everyone on the table was done snapping photos.

 
Inside the thick, and chewy pastry was sweet barbecued pork. I was expecting more of a char siew soh, so this was a surprise. The almond flakes were well with the pork I must say.

5. Ha Kau $6++, Chicken Feet $4.80++, Siew Mai $5++

 
I decided to also get a range of traditional dim sum, to help bench mark East Ocean vs the familiar restaurants I've been to. Surprisingly, the taste was just "meh". Nothing to rave about.

6. Steamed Custard Bun $5++ *highly recommended*
Highly recommended!

Highly recommended!

 
Definitely the highlight of my meal! Check out the liquid gold, flowing out of this very hot, steamed bun. The sweetness of the liu sha was perfect and the texture of the bun was soft and fluffy. 

7. Steamed Shrimp Rice Roll $5.80++

 
The shrimp was sizeable and crunchy. The sauce had a right mix of sweet and saltiness. The shimmering rice roll was very soft and delightfully tasty.

8. Crispy Roasted Pork Belly $15++ *highly recommended*

 
My friends who never tried this before were crazy over this dish. It was only when I told them it was $15++ that they realized, they had to savour this dish slowly. Good stuff doesn't always come cheap, but pricey stuff doesn't always mean good. But this is by far the best dish we had at East Ocean. The skin was so crispy, and the meat was juicy and tender. Strangely though, it was served with wasabi mayo.

Service throughout the meal was great, as the staff was constantly refilling, our pot of tea and asking if we needed any help ordering. They were also attentive to our every action and cleared our plates thrice throughout our meal. We ended up spending close to $90 for the 3 of us, and we did have our fill, but I felt that the quality of the dim sum could be better. It's sad to say that I know of several other chain dim sum restaurants that surpasses the standard here at East Ocean for several of their dishes.

My suggestion, skip the kiddy menu. Yes it looks cute, but it's not worth the price or the calories.

Located literally right a corner junction is 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro & Bar, at just 3 months old, it is a very new establishment. The owners are also new to the F&B business and putting in their all to make this a welcoming place to all their guests!
Outdoor seating area

Outdoor seating area

 
The outdoor dining area had a very simplistic and yet practical feel. I can totally imagine chillin' here with your bros and "people watching" since this is facing the main road.
Cosy corner

Cosy corner

 
The seats inside the shop were very cosy and comfy. You could definitely feel like you were walking into a bar, but then again, as you waltz in further, you will notice the sofas in the corner and the dim lighting. The owners mentioned that they wanted to create a comfortable environment similar to your living room setting, that you can bring your friends and family to hang out. It is a very sincere concept and I can definitely feel the results of what the owners are trying to do here.

 
There is a high ceiling that provides a warm and airy ambience to the restaurant. The bistro and bar serves up Western and Italian cuisine, the menu includes a variety of pasta dishes, pizza, western dishes, colourful salads, and more, as well as a range of artisanal coffees, alcoholic, and non-alcoholic beverages to compliment each meal.

 

 
The menu consists of a wide variety, from alcohol, finger food to pasta, pizza, tiramisu and other desserts. 

Crispy Mid Wings (SGD$10.00) *Highly Recommended*

 
As simple as chicken wings look, they can be very different in taste and texture. A lot of cafes are starting to offer chicken wings in mid-wing style similar to those wings places you find Stateside. Whereas, in typical Singapore setting, you expect the whole drum-wing-tip as one piece of chicken. 

 
The chicken wings here being mid-wings make it easier to eat, without making a mess in front of a potential date. They are extremely crispy and yet not oily at all!! I watched a table of customers get served a plate of this and the aroma filled up the entire restaurant. No kidding! 

 
They are pretty sizeable despite being just a mid-joint. The batter around the chicken wing isn't too floury and they stayed crispy despite us, foodies taking a long time to snap pictures of them. By the time we started eating them, there weren't as piping hot as when they came out of the kitchen. But each bite or should I say crunch, indicated to my taste buds that these are freshly fried chicken wings for sure!

Black Truffle Egg Pizza (SGD$23.80)
Thin crust goodness

Thin crust goodness

 
One of the owners were highly raving about this dish and we were intrigured by it. The looks of this dish was very appealing and the sweet smell of truffle was addictive. We couldn't wait to dig in, but the owner showed us the way to eat this pizza. 
Spreading the liquid gold all over!

Spreading the liquid gold all over!

 
To start off, you had to smear the egg yolk all around the pizza till the whole pizza is covered in the yolk before slicing up the pizza. With the yolk drenched pizza, the crust became slightly more soggy and it was slightly more difficult to cut up the slices. The pizza was interesting indeed, but I felt it was a bit plain.

Meat Lovers Pizza (SGD$19.80)
For all the meat lovers out there!

For all the meat lovers out there!

 
This meat lovers pizza is fully packed with American pork pepperoni, ham, bacon, chicken and pork sausage, topped with Mozzarella Cheese. It sounds, looks and tastes just as the description say it does. I love their thin crust and the texture of it. I checked out their kitchen and noticed their industrial grade oven. That oven alone says alot about the owners and their pizzas. This owners are definitely very serious about their pizza game!

Cheese Lovers Pizza (SGD$19.80)

 
Topped with Italian cheese - Mozarrela, Scamorza, Gorgonzola blue cheese, Taleggio and Feta Cheese, this is one strong cheesy smelling pizza. It is not for the feint hearted. There were some people who couldn't really stand the strong smell of the five cheeses. The blue cheese especially has a very strong and distintive smell. For myself, I could bare with the smell but I could only stomach one slice. With all the cheeses combined, each mouthful was quite "gerlat". I would say this pizza is catered to the more western tastebuds.

Aglio e Olio (SGD$16.80)

 
Traditional garlic flavoured pasta topped with wild mushroom and tiger prawns. It was served in a big and clean dish. It was beautifully decorated. You could see some effort was made to make this dish presentable.
Fresh and crunchy prawns

Fresh and crunchy prawns

 
The tiger prawns were decent in size and they tasted rather fresh and crunchy as well.

 
The noodles were a bit harder than I would like, but the taste of it all, was on point, not too garlicky and the mushrooms were juicy and the chefs were generous with the ingredients.

Carbonara Bacon (SGD$16.80)

 
This dish had rich and creamy sauced based from egg yolks, cheese,black pepper and streaky bacon. Usually you would find one egg on top of a carbonara which you then have the pleasure of mixing it around the pasta. But here at 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro & Bar, they mix the egg yolk into the pasta cream sauce for you. You then get a eggy and yet creamy sauce with a salty taste thanks to the bacon. Here again, you can see that the chefs were yet again generous with the ingredients. You are guaranteed a slice of bacon in every mouthful! I enjoyed this plate of Carbonara, this is a plate of carbonara done right!

Seafood Marinara (SGD$17.80)

 
Fish, Prawns, Scallops, Mussels and Squids simmered in a fragrant tomato sauce and served over pasta. Here again, lots of ingredients, but the pasta is also a bit harder than expected. I think 1 Tyrwhitt Bistro & Bar is still new to the business and is trying to get their al dente pasta done right. Other than that, seafood lovers would love this, the sauce wasn't too salty, you could taste the essence of all the different seafood mixed into the sauce. 

Chicken Chop (SGD$16.80) *highly recommended*
Loved the mushrooms!

Loved the mushrooms!

 
The chicken chop sauce was so yummy, to all mushroom sauce lovers, this is the one dish to try here! This dish consists of a generous slab of chicken grilled to perfection, with savoury brown sauce with mashed potatoes and sauteed mushrooms.

The skin of the chicken chop was crispy and delicious. I am a huge fan of sauteed mushrooms and the sauteed mushrooms here were addictive. I think I cleaned the plate off of the mushrooms!

Pork Chop (SGD $16.80)
Check out the thickness of this pork chop!

Check out the thickness of this pork chop!

 
This pork chop wasa highly recommended by the owners and is probably going to be labeled as their signature dish. It is slow cooked to perfection and topped with savoury brown sauce, served with potato wedges and home-style vegetables.

Apparently you can choose the doneness of the pork chop, we choose medium-well, but in the centers it was more pink than the outside areas. I took a bite from the outside and it was juicy and tender. I loved that this was not a typical thin sliced pork chop, but rather a super thick slab of pork, and probably because of its thickness, the chef had trouble trying to get it medium-well done? I'm not too sure, but we had our pork chop re-fired up and everyone was delighted to tuck in the second time round!

Grilled Salmon ($20.80) *highly recommended*

 
Sprinkle of zest and a dab of lemon butter sauce to beautifully highlight the flavour of the grilled salmon. It is served with grilled vegetables and potatoes. The salmon was very fresh and the skin was so crispy, I enjoyed it so much.
Crispy salmon skin goodness!

Crispy salmon skin goodness!

 
The vegetables were also fresh and you could tell some one spent time to clean up and pretty up this slab of salmon. For $20.80, you definitely get your moneys worth! The salmon is huge for the price and also very juicy and tasty!

Panna Cotta ($8.80)

 
Freshly made Panna cotta served with mixed berries and Raspberry coulis. These desserts are seriously some of the hardest desserts to get done right and for a first time cafe. They've got it spot on!  *clap clap* 
soft and silky texture!

soft and silky texture!

 
The smoothness of the panna cotta can only be explained when you slide your dessert spoon into it. The sweetness is complimented by the sourness of the fresh raspberry coulis. I thoroughly enjoyed this dessert and I know I'm coming back for more of this dessert!

Tiramisu ($8.80) *highly recommended*
PERFECT!

PERFECT!

 
Homemade velvety Tiramisu served with mixed berries that melts right in your mouth! I spoke to the owners to confirmed that this was home made and the owners mentioned that initially they had the tiramisu supplied in, but the didn't like the quality of it and decided to invest time and resources into making their own Tiramisu. DEDICATION! Hear that?! Some cafes definitely need to see how real cafes do it! For $8.80, you get a slice of tiramisu goodness that is pretty much a one way ticket to happiness. The softness and the rich mixture of alcohol, puts this on one of my most favourite Tiraimisu in town!

Kronenbourg Tower 3L ($76 / $49 Happy Hour)

 

 
They also serve towers of alcohol and have happy hour pricings.

The owners are on the right track and this place definitely has a good feel and taste for food. Their prices are reasonably and I can foresee myself bringing friends on a weekday night to chill out with food and beers.

Rainbow Cottage Cafe is a place that brighten up anyone's day! Their decor is colourful and makes you feel like you're up in the clouds right next to the rainbow! Their cakes are also very cute, colourful and they all look so delicious and tempting to order them all!

I came in a very large group of 10pax and the owner Jason was very accomodating and frequently called me up to confirm the party size and checked on what we were planning to order. This was to ensure that he had enough food prepared for my party of 10. Great cafe planning in my humble opinion! This is the first cafe to give me so much attention before I even step into the cafe! *applause*

1. Haiwaiian Pizza $13.50

 
I started off the meal with a very familiar pizza, I didn't enjoy it so much the last time, and now, it has a stronger cheese factor! The base of the pizza crust is still disappointing but taking that aside, the ingredients tasted great and everyone loved the pizza. 

2. Baked pasta with Beef/Chicken $8.90 *Highly recommended*

 
There's something about Rainbow Cottage Cafe and their pasta sauces, it is very addictive! Their beef or chicken baked pasta was so good, it disappeared almost immediately! For those who can't take beef, the chicken is very tasty and makes a perfect meal. For those who can take beef, just go for it! The beef lasagne has a stronger flavour and the beef is mouth-watering! The fragrance from the sauce is very memorable, and I would definitely order this again!

3. Baked Pasta with Mushroom $8.90

 
For the non-tomato base people, there's the pasta with mushroom sauce, this sauce is alot milder in flavours compared to the tomato base. You can still taste the mushroom but just a tinge of it. The mushrooms used here seem to be thinly sliced but still juicy in every bite!

4. Baked Rice $8.90

 
This seemed to be more of a baked risotto as the rice was very soft and even a baby without teeth could enjoy this main course! Some of my friends couldn't stop exclaiming in excitement as they dug into this, as this is probably the most unique experience I've had with baked rice. Usually in baked rice, the top layer of hardened cheese covers a bowl of plain white rice, but not here at Rainbow Cottage. Their rice is seasoned well and even a small mouthful of the rice is very tasty! 

5. Baked Lasagne with Chicken $8.90 *Highly recommended*
Chicken lasagne was good, but if you can take beef, just order the beef!

Chicken lasagne was good, but if you can take beef, just order the beef!

 
In Singapore, I think we generally see more spaghetti more than lasagne, so *applause* to Rainbow Cottage for offering, macaroni, spaghetti AND lasagne. The sauce here is similar to the one with the baked pasta but there seems to be more minced chicken embedded in the layers of lasagne. Again, the chicken is very tasty, but for those who can consume beef, just go for the beef option, it has more flavours!

6. Baked Lasagne with Beef $8.90 *Highly recommended*
The beef lasagne is a winner!!!

The beef lasagne is a winner!!!

 
Personally, after trying all their available main courses except the vegetarian pasta and wraps, this is my personal number 1 at Rainbow Cottage! The sauce was executed perfectly, it's not too salty and you can still taste the tomato and beef distinctively in every spoonful. The lasagne was cooked to perfection, the texture was on point!

 
Everyone couldn't stop raving about the beef/chicken pasta/lasagne!

7. Beef/Chicken Spaghetti $8.90
A bit watery, but there was enough taste :)

A bit watery, but there was enough taste :)

 
The sauces here seemed to be a slightly more watered down version of the sauce served with the baked pasta or lasagne, but still enjoyable for any spaghetti fan out there. The noodles were al dente and the portion was just right.

8. Mushroom Spaghetti $8.90
It wasn't too creamy :) and it was well executed

It wasn't too creamy :) and it was well executed

 
Not that this was my least favourite, but there were tons of good dishes served to us and I think this didn't seem to "wow" me. My friends who weren't fans of cream based sauces told me that they loved this. I felt it was a so-so dish, even as a mushroom lover, I would rather go with the baked mushroom pasta instead of this.
Good spread of food!

Good spread of food!

 
9. Assorted Gelatos $3.50 per scoop
Soooo good!!

Soooo good!!

 
Rainbow Cottage Cafe has an array of homemade gelatos, their Bubble gum coloured cotton candy gelato (*Highly Recommended*) is so yummy! It reminds you of your childhood days eatin bubble gum and it is not too sweet either. Actually, all their gelato isn't too sweet. 

 
The raspberry gelato was the most sour of the flavours we picked, but it was still delicious and smooth. But beware, do not mix it with other flavours, it might not benefit the other sweeter flavoured gelatos.

The cheesecake gelato was nice, it was a very dense and creamy cheesecake in a gelato form. It did take my friends awhile to guess what flavour it was though, but everyone still enjoyed it!

10. Matcha lava cake with Tiramisu gelato $6.50 + $3.50

 
I'm not a huge fan of lava cakes but I am a huge fan of this matcha lava cake! The matcha flavour is strong and the cake is moist and the lava was milky and again, had strong matcha flavour. Paired with a scoop of Tiramisu gelato, it was a one way trip to heaven. Best of both worlds, in my humble opinion. I'm sorry chocolate lava cakes, you guys are outdated, the new thing is matcha everything! Both inside and outside!
Best lava cake ever!

Watch the liquid gold of matcha milky goodness flow out!!!

11. Dark chocolate cake with duo chocolate gelato $5.50 + $3.50
Perfect combination

I had massive chocolate fans dining with me that day, so I decided to surprise them witha  dark chocolate cake and chocolate gelato. The chocolate cake was slightly on a drier side but mixed with the chocolate gelato it was sweet and enjoyable. 

12. Waffle with marshmallows $ 4.50

Rainbow Cottage Cafe seems to be selling lots of waffles, everywhere I turn, every table seems to be order waffles with ice cream or just plain waffles. I got waffles with marshmallows and the waffles were slightly salty, I guess they expect you to order ice crema with the waffle, which is understandable. The waffle plate was cutely decorated with little chocolate and honey syrup to make it look like clouds maybe?

All in all, a very enjoyable experience for everyone and everyone had a full and happy tummy. Service was also excellent and the food came out in a timely manner. The owner Jason was also super friendly and accomodating to our every needs.
