Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Ice Cream and Gelato

After lunch, came to Tom's Palette for dessert. There are many variety of ice cream offered here. Some of the flavors change and you might not find it in your next visit. But you will always find the popular flavors available such asGranny's Favourite.

Ordered Stout Caramel and Blueberry Cheesecake. For the Stout Caramel, the taste of the beer was quite strong. It was like 80% stout and 20% caramel taste. The Blueberry Cheesecake really tasted like cheesecake. More cheesecake-like than Baskin Robbins. Somehow the two flavors really go well together. It was like eating beer flavored cheescake, quite interesting.

Best Fried Carrot Cake! Smile Feb 28, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Chinese | Hawker Centre

Went to Singapore Food & Beverage fair today and came across this stall selling carrot cake except that it offered 10 different flavors! All the extra flavors they add seasoning powder for the taste. The uncle and aunty at the booth was really nice and friendly. They recommend the original flavor but I like seaweed so I ordered carrot cake with nori seaweed.

 
My first bite and I could bite and taste the chai po. Crunchy, salty and just so yummy with the egg and carrot cake. The carrot cake wasn't oily and the salt level is just nice. Couldn't really taste much of the seaweed but who cares when the carrot cake is so delicious!

Whoa, Delicious! Smile Mar 29, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Desserts and Cakes

Came here to eat their waffles.

 
My friend almost walk passby the shop withour realising it. Lucky I was there. 

 
I love the decor of the shop. Something like Alice in Wonderland feel. You can even play with the stufff toys there.

 
The wall also shows what they are selling.

 
So I went to the counter to order. Some of the desserts looked really tempting. However I was set on ordering the 'whoa'ffles already. I ordered the 'Whoa'ffles, Pandan Ice Cream Drizzled with Gula Melaka($8.90) and Vanilla Caramel Dream($3.20).

 
The drink came first. It had hints of vanilla and slight caramel. But tasted like normal black tea.

 
Finally the 'whoa'ffles came. It looks really nice. So picture worthy. The waffles were crispy and fluffy. The gula melaka was really delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness. Pandan ice cream had a slightly familar tasted. A little like the Lapis Sagu(9 layered kueh) from beganwan solo. Somehow I like everything more when I taste them seperately then together. But overall it still a lovely dish.
Will be back for more of their 'whoa'ffles!

Nice Brunch  Smile Mar 29, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : European | Café | Desserts and Cakes

Came to Lola's Cafe for brunch wth two of my friends. When we came, the place was packed so we had to queue. They have a machine on the spot for you to get your queue number and once there is a table, they will give you a call. 

 
They also would ask if you would not mind the sofa seat which is actually the one you can see in the picture. It looks okay but in front of the sofa seat is a few rows of table. It's a little awkward as you will be looking at other people when you look straight.

 
Finally recieved a call and went back to the place. The waiter led us to an indoor seat but forgot to give us the menu so we took one ourself.

 
I ordered the Mushroom Melt($10)- Brioche Bread, Swiss White Mushroom, Mozeralla Cheese Cream, Garden Salad, Balsamic Dressing. Took my first bite and could taste the yummy mushroom-y taste with the savoury chewy cheese and light creamy sauce. The bread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Really delicious. Definitely a must to order if you love mushroom. However it can get a little overwhelming after more bites. The salad dressing was not to my liking. It was citrus-y and sweet. Not so nice. However my friend was okay with it. The only thing I like from the salad was the cherry tomatoes.

 
We also ordered the Honey Paprika Crispy Wings($8)- Wings, Honey, Spices. True enough the skin was crispy and the meat was tender. You could taste the spiciness from the paprika and the sweetness from the honey. A nice combination.

 
Asked for plain water and it came in this bottle with shot glass. Quite cool.

 
Some of the tables if you look below, you can see that it looks something like the lower part of a sewing machine. You can even step on it and it will move.

 
Some of their decor. 'Beauty is in the eyes of the BEERholder'.
This is definitely a good place to bring your friends for brunch but do make a reservation if you do not want to wait.

Nice Meal Smile Mar 14, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | Café | Pasta | Steaks and Grills | Pets Friendly

At this cafe there are 2 sections- pet and non-pet.

 
We sat at the non-pet section and got the 1-for-1 Set Lunch which consist of 2 soups of the day, 2 Main Courses (each $16 or below) and 2 Drinks. From opening till 3pm at $25+

 
You can request to have your drink before or after the meal. I ordered Iced Lemon Tea and somehow it tasted like peach tea. The honey lemon was nice, the honey had a nice sweetness and lemon was mild.

 
The soup of the day was cream of asparagus. It did not really taste like asparagus. But still it tasted quite nice.

 
Order the dory which consist of truffle fries, wasabi mayo and a fillet of fried dory. The truffle fries was nice, could taste the truffle oil. The wasabi mayo was interesting. Tasted exactly like wasabi and mayo mixed together. It goes nicely with the fries. Help add some creaminess to the fries. Fish was normal. Batter was crispy. Coeslaw was refershing. Instead of mayo dressing I think they used vinegar. Overall I really like it.

 
My friend ordered Cabonara- Tagliatelle, bacon, portobello mushroom and arugula. On the side was cream and egg yolk. Taste was average but nice plating.
