One Paradise Refreshment OK Jan 24, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine

 

 

 
I attended a Guess event. In conjunction with the event, the Guess has catered One Paradise Catering to customize the refreshment.

The customized refreshment were Éclair, cupcake and macaron. The Éclair was soft and still chilling. It was as good as eating ice cream. The chocolate coat was neither too hard nor soft. The skin texture was soft and the cream melt together with the skin.

The cupcakes were customized with the Guess logo. It was a layer of icing sugar. I did not eat as I did not want to consume too much sugar. The vanilla cupcake was delicious.

The most interesting was the macaron. It was colourful displayed on the table. I could not resist and ate at least 5 macaron. The texture was firm and the cream was still not creamy.

I enjoyed the refreshment.

First Taste on Dora Keiki Cookies OK Jan 23, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Bakery

I was at Ang Mo Kio Hub and there was a Chinese New Year cookie roadshow. Many of the vendors mainly from Heartland confectionary or factory participated in the roadshow.

The store which I stopped by was Dora Keiki. The pricing of the Heartland Confectionary is much cheaper than the stalls participated at Takashimaya. The price ranges from $15.80 and below. I consider the pricing is reasonable.

At Dora Keiki, I tasted the pineapple tart. It was soft and butter flavour was not heavy. Otherwise, the butter flavour could have overshadowed the pineapple filling and makes no meaning to have the pineapple filling. The pineapple tart is big and heavy.

The next item which I tasted was the green pea cookie. Instead of flour, green pea has replaced flour. Having green pea as flour base will make a healthy eating choice. However, gout eater will have to take note.

The love letter was thin and long. It does not break easily and leads to no waste of love letter droppings.

I love the pineapple tart and the green pea as they do not have butter flavour.

First Taste on Selvni Cookies OK Jan 23, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Stall / Kiosk | Brunch

I was at Ang Mo Kio Hub and there was a Chinese New Year cookie roadshow. Many of the vendors mainly from Heartland confectionary or factory participated in the roadshow.

The store which I stopped by was Selvni. Selvni claims that its cookies are Home Make. Each can is selling at $12.50. As for this week promotion, the cookies are selling at $20 for two cans of any choices.

The promoter offered me Selvni’s pineapple tart. The tart was big. Even the tart was cut to half, it still looked big and heavy. The pineapple filling still looked raw and juicy.

The promoter offered me a tray of the cookies. I sampled Kueh Bangkit, shrimp roll and peanut cookies. The cookies are low sugar content.

The special cookies that only Selvni is known as ‘Romeo Cookie’. I don’t know it is named Romeo. I don’t find the taste any extraordinary. It tasted like any of the ordinary cookies. I teased the promoter if Selvni has Julie, the promoter claimed that ‘Julie Cookie’ is at the main store. How I wished that ‘Julie Cookie’ is brought to the roadshow.

Generally, the cookie tasted alike like any of the store.

Sakura Buffet OK Jan 23, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Halal | Buffet

I had buffet lunch at Sakura. The Sakura buffet has so much to offer. Based on the name, Japanese cuisine will not run away. As an Asian country, the Asian delights such as the fried rice, fried noodle, fried vegetable with oyster sauce, fried egg omette, dim sum like the stream prawn dumpling and the assorted cakes are in the house.

I enjoyed the fried rice as it has shrimp spread on top. The fried noodle is also delicious. It is not oily. The chef uses the egg noodle to serve the customer. The egg ommellete is perfect and goes well with the Thai style chicken.

Besides the asian delight, I enjoyed the streaming hot prawn dumpling. It is wrapped with fresh big prawn and yet the skin is not torn.

The restaurant also caters for the vegetarian. If meat is not allowed, then the diners can consider lentils as their protein replacement.

The desserts are limited. I can find marble cake and but not cheese cake.

I enjoyed the fried noodles and the hot dim sum very much.

Enjoy Swiss Bake Food Smile Jan 23, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Swiss | Bakery

I was at Prudential Tower attending a health talk. From the 23th floor, I was facing the west direction. From the direction, it was the view of the People’s Park Centre.

The host had catered refreshment from Swiss Bake. I love Swiss Bake pastries and sandwiches. I was even surprised to see wrap was also offered. The interesting part is the beverage box. Swiss bake use recycled bottle and there is a opening which can be screwed cap to flow the coffee and tea into the bottle.

When the host allowed the guest to open its refreshment, I could not resist to try the wrap first. I am afraid that the wrap was wet with the meat wrapped. However, it was not, it was rolled with ham and tomato. The wrap was too big for my mouth. I still enjoyed the wrap.

The next item which I tried was the egg and salad croissant sandwich. The egg was fresh and I could smell the fresh hard boiled smell. The ingredient used made it soft to eat with the crispy croissant. The next croissant which I took was the smoked chicken salad croissant. The meat was not salty. The croissant was still crispy and could hear the cracking fracking sound of the skin.

The mini Danish was good too. I tried the banana puff and enjoyed the soft banana filling. Though the banana filling was wet, it did not moist the Danish skin. The skin was still crispy.
The Swiss food is always fine and never disappoint diner.
