A hidden gem in the neighbour area, a nice cosy place right beside Fat Cats. =)

 
Waffle with Cheesecake Icecream (ice cream of your choice) - $8.50

We just had a heavy dinner so anything else was plain 'jerlat' to us, but the waffle with ice cream was such delightful that we ended up polishing off everything on the plate. Particularly liked the unique cheesecake icecream flavour compared to the rest of the flavours, which includes vanilla, chocolate, salted caramel etc. Overall, this is one of the rare places that offers good waffle (in my opinion)!

It sells all sorts of pretty food from cakes, sandwiches to all day brunch. Pardon me, it was really an impromptu visit and I promise to do the food "justice" by visiting it again with a proper camera. =p

It's probably confusing at your first visit, at least for me. We stood at the entrance for a good few minutes, waiting to be served but who knows, it is a free seating and self ordering concept cafe. So just go in, find yourself a seat and then go to the counter to make your order and pay at the cashier.

 
As we just had dinner, we ordered a cake (On-My Baby Crepe $8) and a pudding (Chocolate - $4.50) to share. Yup, the pudding was served in a milk bottle alike container, cute right?

The cake was pretty interesting with layers of crepe, strawberries, sponge cake and cream. But I must say, the cakes are rather expensive, $7.50 is the cheapest? Not your daily bakery to go, I guess....

On the other hand, the pudding was simply divine, must try! ^_^ The texture was almost like eating flavored cream. I started off eating the chocolate part, before I moved on to the original. Both were good on its own. As I dipped the spoon deeper, to my delight, there was brown sugar/caramel at the bottom, which gave a very nice caramelized taste. With every spoonful, there were different "surprise". =)

 
The royal pudding seems to be the popular item here! I saw most of the diners ordered this.

 

Anyway, I liked it so much that I bought 3 more bottles home. Among the three, I liked the chocolate best, followed by mango and original flavour.

 


Yummy! ^_^

Hatter Street Bakehouse & Cafe Smile Nov 19, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Desserts and Cakes

 
Hatter Street is a fairly new cafe nestled in the Kovan neighbourhood. It appears rather out of place amongst the old style kopitiams, neighbourhood shops. But again, I really like the idea of theme cafes sprouting in the sub urban, well at least you dont have to travel all the way to the town just to have a nice hi tea afternoon.

As you step into the little cafe (yes, rather tiny with approximately 20s odd seating?), you will be whizzed into a "Alice in Wonderland" theme. 

 
The cakes looked interesting but the prices are quite stiff, considering that the size is not big. Oh well, next time I will try them when I'm feeling rich!

 
Pandan Icecream with Gula Melaka Sauce - $8.90

I have eaten waffles at many places, but I have never seen such a combination before ~ pandan & gula melaka sauce? Really sound very local. I liked that the pandan icecream was subtle and not overwhelming and it was a good match with the gula melaka sauce. Probably tasted like shit if matches with the usual chocolate or caramel sauce. Hahaha

The waffles was also very light, just nice when you have a hearty dinner yet have a itch for something sweet. And the blueberries were sweet too!

This definitely ranks the top few waffles that I will revisit!

2014 Vday Celebration at Edge Smile Nov 19, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Hotel | Desserts and Cakes | Seafood | Buffet

I went for a buffet dinner on Vday! It was a very last minute booking and we were so glad to find a table here. 

I'm going to start spamming with lotza lotza photo okay? Prepare a bowl to catch your drooling saliva ya? Dont say I never give warning.....

 
Fresh Seafood - Oysters, Prawns, Crabs, Scallops!

 

 

 
Indonesian/Malay Cooked Food

 
Frog Legs!

This was probably the first time that I've seen frog legs served in a buffet.

 
Spicy Crayfish with Fried Man Tou

 
Black Pepper Crab

We only took the pincers coz easier to eat lah. I quite like the black pepper crab as it was more flavourful as compared to the fresh crab legs. Satay Assortment

 
Meat Assortments - Ranging from Chicken, Duck Confit, Salmon etc

We were really spolit for choices!

 
Quiche, Aparagus, Potato and dunno what in the last plate...

 
Chicken Curry

 
Fried Tempura

This was pre-fried though and merely heated up, so not as crispy as freshly fried from the wok. Can probably give this a miss.

 
Sushi Assortment

Salmon Sashimi

Fatty and Fresh!

 
Salads

 
Grill Station

We were given wooden stick with our table number, which we passed to the chef at the Grill Station. Once cooked, it would be served to us.

 
Tried the grilled beef and pork. Cooked to perfection!

Because it was Valentine's Day, the dessert station was so dainty and sweet, mostly in pastel colour in pink & purple. Everyone was trying to take pictures here, as the sweet stuff made the perfect background!

 
The meringue here were nice too, not deadly sweet, especially those with coconut fillings.

 
They also served traditional kuehs but was somehow "neglected" in one corner. Keke

 
Pink fondue! Have you seen anything like that?

I loved the pink fondue which tasted like Pocky Strawberry and it tasted perfectly with the strawberries which were all so sweet. I must had eaten at least a good 5 or 6 strawberries.

 
The durian puree was not displayed out at the dessert station. But the staff serving at our seating area recommended it to us, saying that this is their popular dessert and he was really nice to help me to request from the chef. Thumbs up for his service.

The verdict for the durian puree? Really devilicious, so wickedly good that I was trying to finish it even though my stomach was already protesting! You can really savour the mao shan wang meat yet it was creamy enough. I'm missing it while typing now... >.<

Overall, I think the spread is really good and I wish I have a bigger stomach size to try everything!

Bloomsbury Bakers OK Nov 19, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Bakery


 
Chanced upon Bloomsbury Bakers when I was searching for food places near Boon Keng. Since I was alone for lunch, I decided to go and check out this quaint little cafe in the midst of HDB blocks and industrial estate.

Anyway, the cafe was not too hard to find, very near to the bendemeer market. It just that if I had not known the cafe beforehand, I would probably not expect one in this area, kind of out of place?

 
Red Velvet Cake - $5

I dunno how you choose which item to buy when faced with a wide selection of pretty cakes and tarts. But for me, I will choose one that seems to be more popular, i.e. item which seems to sell out faster lor. Keke

And so red velvet cake, it shall be!

I really like the red velvet cake here which had more cake and less cream cheese. It was also moist and soft, unlike some other places which made me gasping for water if I ate the cake too fast. The coconut shaving is optional but I thought it added extra flavour to the otherwise similar taste. Anyway it was so good that I accidentally finished it, and ended up I cant finish my duck rice which was suppose to be my lunch. Keke
