After the a lunch time gym session I walked past Paul’s and my legs just decided to stop and naturally I look at the delicious range of pastries, baguettes, etc. And suddenly my eyes stopped at the tart aux abricots. I order and pay for the tart and return to the office. I wait a time until there were less people in the office before I open the box. I do this otherwise I would have had to share. And this was a very good decision as when I did finally put the first piece into my mouth I just wanted to hide away and enjoy it to myself. The perfect combination of the light sweetness of the custard is balanced by the slight sourness of the apricots and all on top of a buttery and flaky pastry. This was perfectly complemented by a black coffee.

Having seen the advertisements in Orchid for Wild Honey I just had to try it out. So I ask a friend for brunch to the branch in Scott’s Square. Looking at the varied menu I choose the Grilled Ruben. When it arrives the my mouth starts to water and it doesn’t disappoint. The pastrami, cheese, sauerkraut, dressing and crispy rye is very good. The chips could be better but that won’t stop me ordering this tasty sandwich again.

Decided to come here for dessert after a walk at Macritchie. Luckily we didn’t have to wait for a table. One look at the menu we decided on the earl grey caramel waffle. The waffle tasted as good as it looked. The waffle was moist and paired with the earl grey caramel (which was a little over powerless but the caramel) and ice cream was a great combination. Looking forward to my next visit to Columbus.

I’ve walked past Old Chang Kee on numerous occasions and the Nasi Lemak Chicken’O is sold out. Lucky for me I pass this outlet and it’s not sold out. I take one bite and it’s as the advert read egg, chicken, peanut, ikan bilis, sambal chilli, it’s a nasi lemak chicken’o in a puff! It has big chucks of chicken, egg and moderately spicy which should satisfy most palates. Now go get one.

After visiting the dentist I go to the basement of Paragon to get my prescription. And on the way of the mall out I notice some goodies in a glass display which look like cronuts except the label read Crodo. So I order the one that looks the least sweet, the glazed crodo, yes I know my dentist wouldn’t approve. I get back to the office, I plate and cut the Crodo half which revealed a soft and layered inside. I take a bite and the pasty is soft, buttery and almost melts in your mouth!
As anticipated it was a little too sweet but that didn’t take away how good this merge of two very different pastries tasted. I will definitely be back for another!
