The Sweet Movement sits in a cozy little corner of Somme Road, a stone's throw away from City Square mall. It is under the same flagship of D.C Bakery (or Dessert Cup Bakery from Raffles City). They now serve petite bite-sized desserts accompanying great coffee, and the serene atmosphere and environment makes The Sweet Movement a great option for a lazy afternoon read. This hole-in-the-wall dessert cafe is a one-stop dessert haven to satiate my hunger pangs for sugar cravings... and I thought it may an ideal party place or even for business meetings!From time to time, they will change their decorations with sweet little notes. These quirky notes are usually quotes that would provoke your thoughts, providing inspiration if you need any.

Do note that these bite-sized pieces are not actual sizes as it was for their pre-launch event. Do visit their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TheSweetMovement?directed_target_id=0 for more details! You can also message their Facebook admin, although they do take quite awhile to reply because they are rather busy with managing both The Sweet Movement and Dessert Cup Bakery.
Still, I love the service in the place as the staff is very friendly and smiley. Vanilla Milk Jam - SGD2.80 ea, SGD10 for 4 pcs
This is a delicious crispy toast topped with their homemade vanilla milk jam. It is rich in flavour and sweet at all sides! The vanilla was strong and fragrant to my tasting, I felt like I was eating crispy vanilla ice-cream.Milk Caramel Jam - SGD2.80 ea, SGD10 for 4 pcs
Similar to the vanilla jam, a daub of caramel is added to the toast. It was a tad too sweet for me, but my friends loved it! It was as crunchy as potato chips and I think it'll make a great replacement for popcorn in the movie theatres.Left: Nutty Seasalt Caramel; Center & Left: White Chocolate muffins - SGD3.50
Forget about molten gooey lava cakes. The muffins that The Sweet Movement delivers is a perfect decadent dessert! I just can't help but want more and more. This isn't the creamy sort of paste, but it sticks true in making their muffin base the focus. The decorations are just a bonus, but the warm moist texture is really fresh as they bake it fresh daily!The coffee has a strong aroma and is very rich. I think it's quite a strong fix which may leave me a sleepless night if I drank it too late. The froth sits perfectly on the coffee essence, and they are quite good at their latte art too!I would prefer their latte as compared to their cappuccino because of the rich smooth finish made by the coffee. The cappuccino, as expected, was too frothy to my liking! It'll make a lovely drink for OpenRicers who desire a creamy drink.

The following are their standard muffins with various designs. Each muffin costs SGD3.50, which is the market price of most muffins in the desserts industry.I thought all was equally tasty, but if I were to make a choice, I would choose the flower. This is because of their additional white chocolate... though the rest tasted quite similar too! I love the moist base, and I could eat all 4 of them in one go. It's highly addictive, these desserts, mind you!

If you're heading to The Sweet Movement, don't forget the following:
1. Bring your camera, they have cute looking desserts and the lighting is quite good to take pictures.
2. Bring a book for a lazy afternoon off the urban district.
3. Bring lots of water and get yourself hydrated from the desserts and coffee!
4. Bring an umbrella in case it rains. This is because even though the cafe is sheltered, you may be drenched if the wind blows!

I'm now under sogurt's loyalty programme with their coupon card. Get a stamp for every $5 that you spend, and you will get discounts.. $1, $2, or $3. When you bought at least 30 cups of $5, you'll get a FREE membership.Anyway, it's easy to hit $5 with sogurt because you can't really tell how much the cup weighs until you go to the counter. their original yoghurt is always the best, i love eating it without any toppings for health's sake! there are usually adorable ladies for the counter crew as well you'll have a lovely time in the restaurant especially when out with friends! try to wear more clothing when you go there because the store is usually freezing cold.

Yellow Cup Coffee has officially opened on 26th Jan, and it was a great honour to be part of their pre-opening launch!Google "Yellow"and you will see that yellow is actually the colour of GOLD! It is the mission of this cafe's owners to let their customers enjoy a golden standard of coffee. Each cup is handmade on a La Marzocco Strada machine which has been dubbed the "Ferrari" of coffee machines! No picture of the coffee machine because you should go and see it for yourself! ^^;Popular marvel heroes are plastered across the walls, granting the atmosphere of being in a downtown New York cafe. According to the boss, they're going to purchase more of such posters to fill the entire wall!This is how the feel of the cafe looks like. Cozy, warm and fuzzy... here's where you can share your secrets with your loved ones comfortably.Lovin' all stuff yellow! Their staff is as trendy and quirky!
We had a free flow of coffee and pastry and I had a great time trying each and every one of the pastry!From left to right lies the Apple Muffin, Chocolate Scone, Seaweed bread and orange peel muffin. The price ranges from SGD2.50 to SGD3.50. You can have fun trying all of these except the seaweed bread, which was a tad too oily and tasted quite plain. It felt like I was eating a piece of white bread with seaweed on it. Slice through the orange muffin and you can see how moist the inner parts are. There are no flaky residues that would leave your plate messy and thus, it isn't a challenge to eat their desserts glamorously!The Apple Crumble (SGD4.20) has a dust of icing sugar. The nutty crust holds a light-as-a-crowd pastry cream, and slices of apple are visible at the crown of the pastry. It was a lovely confectionary accompanying the coffee!The snow pear danish (SGD4.20) is DEFINITELY my favourite. It's a great accompaniment with the coffee, delivering that perfect blend of pure indulgent pleasure. It has a fluffy crust with sweet-tasting caramelised pears to go along with it. It wasn't too sweet, but the puffiness of the danish is a go-to fix for the perfect dessert.The chocolate croissant (SGD2.70) was a little too flaky, and it doesn't taste as good as the one you can buy at deliverance. I could hardly taste the chocolate because it has been overpowered by the strong flavour of the flaky bread! I wouldn't recommend this one.The barista at Yellow Coffee also makes great latte art as well! You MUST try their coffee at Yellow Coffee, because their coffee machine is the 'ferrari' of all coffee machines. I'm a relatively experienced barista and a strong coffee-drinker, and as good as it sounds, their Yellow Coffee is indeed the most premium coffee I have tasted in Singapore. Their coffee ranges from SGD5.70-SGD6.30. You may ask for decaffeinated drinks if you are sensitive to caffeine, and if you are health-conscious like me, do ask for low-fat (skimmed) milk as well at no additional costs.Some of the latte art may be a bit abstract, like the one above. It actually showcases two swans, though I thought it looked like a leafy plant on the soil.

Here's a list of Q&A that would help you enjoy a cozy experience in Yellow Cup Coffee!
How's their service?
It may be bias to say that their service was great because I went for their pre-launch. However, the barista was really helpful and friendly. They make customised orders too... it was quite slow on that day but they had a LOT of orders and I really thought it was worth the wait.

What desserts should I order?
They actually have a full-day brunch but they're still experimenting with it. So just go ahead and try their brunch if you're a daredevil. On the other hand, I really recommend the snow pear danish. No matter what, don't forget to order a cup of coffee. The names and prices may be subjected to change!

How do I enjoy myself at the cafe?
People usually do cafe-hopping in a group or with friends, but I think Yellow Cup Coffee is a great place for you to read a book and drink a cup on your other hand. The staff is really friendly so I won't be surprised if they chat you up. Who knows you might make some new friends there?

[THE POSITIVE]
As of 2013, Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room is now 12 years old since its opening. In all that buzz and fuzz, the cafe mimics the cosmopolitan city of Hong Kong. They served the food lightning-fast, but it took quite awhile to make payment.[THE NEGATIVE]
Sadly, the concept of a 'tea room' is nowhere near its title. I felt uncomfortable eating in the restaurant because there were no partitions for privacy. With the open-concept restaurant near Daiso Japan in IMM, anyone who passes by would naturally want to take a look at what you're eating.
The menu doesn't clearly state that payment must be made when you order, and it is not surprising to spot a queue at the counter.If you're there, it's a MUST to try their Noodles!I ordered a bowl of Shrimp Wanton Noodles, while my dining partners ate Dumping Soup Noodles (水饺面）for SGD4.50 each. One can't really tell the difference between the two.Take a closer look and you will find that the Dumplings are larger in size as compared to the Shrimp Wanton.
The fillings of the Shui Jiao consisted of minced meat and chopped vegetables. The wanton's filling is made of minced pork, coarsely diced shrimp, finely minced ginger, finely minced onions, sesame oil and soy sauce. I can't help but find a close similarity with the Italian tortellini or Jewish kreplach. We also ordered Fried Brinjal with pork floss for SGD3.00. It was crispy, delicious and fragrant all at once! I would definitely recommend OpenRicers to try it.

Recommended Tips
1. Go really early, avoid lunch peak hours and dinner peak hours. We spotted a really long queue. The entrance of the restaurant is at the Daiso Japan's side.
2. Avoid bringing bulky bags because there isn't really any space for you to place your belongings.
3. The lighting there is great to take good pictures of your food!

Lady M Confections has recently opened another outlet in Singapore at One Fullerton. But I have decided to visit the older branch at Marina Square to see if any changes were made. Walk right in and one feels like one is walking right into an Apple store in New York. The white-washed background and white furniture give you a sense of indescribable peace and calm. In fact, the tables and furnitures are also white in colour, giving off a feeling of being in paradise.The logo is pretty well-designed and so are their confectionaries. It involves highly-detailed and skilled artisan chefs to come up with each cake, and each slice is accurately measured and evenly proportioned.Gâteau aux Marrons (SGD8.50).
It is delicate with a fine crumb, two layers of almond hugging a soft whipped cream in the center. Crosshatch pipings of chestnut-infused cream, it is lush and true to flavour The cream graces the entire surface of the gâteau. For an elegant finish, it has roasted walnuts and snow sugar.The sprinkle of nuts was delicious to chew along with the soft sponge-cake. Along with the sweet-tasting cream, it was a mouth full of exciting flavours!Milles crepe (SGD8.00).
I would confess the standard is highly comparable to that in Europe. This world-famous signature cake of theirs features no less than twenty paper-thin handmade crêpes layered with ethereally light pastry cream. Delicate and irresistible, the top is gently caramelized till golden. Sink right in, and alternating crêpe and cream layers literally melt in your mouth leaving a subtle sweet finish.Look at those fine layers and see how soft it is! I really loved how easy my fork can sink into the slice of cake.Sit near the sunlight and you can truly enjoy the radiant glow of the miles crepe. I love peeling it off slice by slice, but it can be said that it is best eaten whole!If you would like to take away, you have to walk-in to this shelf of cakes. You can easily spot this as it is located near the cashier.Some recommended tips for OpenRicers:
1. Each slice of cake is not enough for two people to share & it's highly possible that you would want more!
2. You don't have to order drinks because there is free flow of water (iced or warm).
3. However, tea
makes a great companion with cakes!
4. It's very difficult to get the attention from the service crew, so please go ahead and sit near the cashier and kitchen as possible.
