There was going to be a little pot-luck dinner at a friend's house at night and I was supposed to bring along some desserts. I thought it might be a good idea to bring some apple strudels. I drove to the Ritz Apple Strudel at Royal Ville, near Sixth Avenue. I drove into the carpark and parked right in front of the shop. When I pushed open the door into the shop, I couldn't help but frowned. Such pungent smell, must be durian. A fruit that you either love or hate and I happen to fall into the lat
There was going to be a little pot-luck dinner at a friend's house at night and I was supposed to bring along some desserts. I thought it might be a good idea to bring some apple strudels. I drove to the Ritz Apple Strudel at Royal Ville, near Sixth Avenue. I drove into the carpark and parked right in front of the shop. When I pushed open the door into the shop, I couldn't help but frowned. Such pungent smell, must be durian. A fruit that you either love or hate and I happen to fall into the latter category. Better make it fast.
The shop has many types of strudels other than the apple strudel; they have favours like mango, strawberry, peach and of couse the culprit of the pungent smell, durian. They have tiny cream puffs, vanilla or chocolate, Eclair and many others. I quickly asked for a full-size apple strudel, $21.90 each. The price had increased, it was stated $19.80 on their website. I picked four boxes of cream puffs, $3.00 per box of 10 and two boxes of Eclair, $3.00 per box of 6.
After making my purchase, I exited the carpark and was shocked to be charged $1.71 for 7 minutes of parking. There was no grace period at all. Should have parked along the road instead.
Nevertheless, the little unpleasant encounter didn't affect the taste of the strudel. Its pastry was crispy, the apple a little sourest and the cream sweet. The combination was delicious. I had much trouble trying to eat it with a fork because the pastry was so crispy that whenever I tried to cut it, it just flew out of the plate. I hope my friend was not upset with me littering her floor with crumbs. The cream puffs and Eclair were nice too, especially when they're cold. The children loved them very much.
