Being a member of the TCC, I frequently received their new promotions through e-mails and they never failed to surprise me. It could be their update on promotion of their exquisite high tea set or their innovative dishes that complements with the festive season (i.e. during Halloween, they came up with a drink that comes with spooky eyeballs!)

I've been visiting the TCC for their coffee, main courses and have also tried their cheesecakes before. However, when my colleague brought in this cake to the office from the TCC, everyone was pretty amazed by it due to its striking violet color. We started guessing what flavor it is and how nice it looks. Some guessed it was dragon fruit, others thought it was blueberry. Even after tasting it, nobody can give a definite answer. It was only after researching on the TCC's website that we found out the answer.

This cake was called Royal Cassis for violet is the colour of royalty and cassis is actually a European black currant that was used mainly to make CRÈME DE CASSIS liqueur and black currant syrup. That explains the sour taste to it. With the sweet white chocolate mousse cake
and the sour cassis topping, this cake is perfect and refreshing for something different. Try it for a royalty feel.

When I want something simple and cheap, century egg porridge would come to my mind. Well-loved for its excellent texture, the smooth porridge is a delight to my taste buds. There is no need to add any more soy sauce or pepper as it's already flavorful as it is. It would be even more perfect if there is fried dough stick to go along with.

This giant Cantonese dumpling serves not as a dessert to me but as my dinner. This rice dumpling was stuffed with various ingredients like the Chinese black mushrooms, chunks of pork meat, roasted chestnuts and the salted egg yolk. Who say we should only eat rice dumpling during festival time? This is one delicious rice dumpling that can be eaten anytime, any day.

Our Company holds a party in celebration of Halloween on the 31st Oct 2011 and every staff were given a packet of candy by Sticky! It's not any ordinary candies as this is hand-made with specific designs to suit the occasion. Since it's for Halloween, the candy pictures are related to this festival with pictures of ghost, bat, trick or treat on it. Their craftsmanship is great to be able to add in wordings and cartoons on such a small piece of candy. The candy is sweet and nice. I got to taste many different flavors and they are colorful too. It would make a perfect gift too.

This is another bubble tea shop that opens in Clementi some few months back. Beside the usual bubble tea that others shops are also selling, they also invented their own special drinks that suits Singaporeans. Flavours like Ovaltine, Wintermelon and even Yakult are quite the Singapore style. Not only that, their grass jelly and AI-Yu is hand made by themselves and does not contain preservatives. I picked yakult green tea for a very choice and also highly recommended by the guy working there. Yakult is well known for aiding in digestion and green tea is well known for detox. So when we add the two together it forms a great combination. I can taste the two different flavours distinctively and the pearls are chewy and nice too. Great. They also provide a recycling bin for the recyclable items like their brochure. This is a plus point as they help to keep the earth clean and green.
