Having bought 2 groupon vouchers for $9 each, which entitled Nyx and I to have an ice cream buffet for an hour at Ice Cream Art. The location was bad as it required me to travel all the way from my home (Ang Mo Kio) to Tiong Bahru MRT station, and then a bus to Sports Lifestyle Centre. When we entered, we were stunned as we did not expect such a small outlet. We started our 1h buffet spree and the lady boss (I supposed) was really friendly. I also requested the scopes of ice cream given to be slightly smaller than normal as we both wanted to try all the flavours. The flavours available that day were green tea, oreo cheese cake, horlick malt, dark chocolate, raspberry swirl, cookies and cream, raspberry cheese cake, mango, lychee, soursoap, green apple yogurt, strawberry yogurt, kiwi and durian! (Only last part than noticed the existence of durian ice cream.)

Finally I had the chance to try out Antoinette's Antoinette (the cake which I ordered). Luckily for me, that day was not crowded as compared to weekends. I got a cosy seat by the corner, right under the light so that my pictures were
clear (so fortunate as the whole place was a little dim for clear shots). Right after being seated comfortably, I ordered straight away and waited super impatiently for my cake to arrive.
The cosy interior of Antoinette really suited me! Classy, cosy, sensual. A perfect place for small group gathering (provided the group do not make too much noise to spoil the ambiance). More perfect for a date with your lover as well as with family members. My cake finally arrived in front of me! I suspected that I may have a strange fetish for smooth and glossy looking cakes as I could not help admiring its surface. The booklet behind was actually the menu which I did not even flipped once as I was aiming the cake from the display counter the moment I stepped in. Instead of digging into Antoinette, my first reaction was to poke the red bubble resting on top of it. It was firm but clearly contained something within. I made a cut across the bubble, causing a small flow of jam to leak down slowly. I have no intention to spoil your appetite but it really reminded me of a female having her period! (No offence) Alright, enough of playing around and let my mouth do the job. I actually spread the sourish raspberry jam over the cake, hoping that it was the right way. The bubble was like jelly and I ate it appreciatively. Before I knew it, I have already eaten half the cake! (You must be dying to know how was it?) One word, heavenly! The first wave of taste that hit me unaware and flooded my mouth was the earl gray. After a few mouths, the taste of earl grey no longer lingered, but was overtaken by the more intense second wave of the chocolate (mousse/chocolate/crunch/sponge)! It was really an exclusive treat that inspired me with awe.

Not quite sure what time the discount actually starts but the egg tarts were going off for $1 each. They were going off fast!
I managed to buy the last piece of kaya and the apple cinnamon egg tarts. The other 2 were original and which people
were less interested in. (The flavours really enhanced the taste!) The kaya was rather strong and fragrant that it
overwhelmed the taste of the egg. As for the apple cinnamon, it was rather subtle, more soothing to my taste buds,
especially when it was consumed right after it was taken out of the refrigerator. Mentioning about being chilled, these
egg tarts had a cheesy texture and mouth-feel that in confusion, for a moment, I thought that I was eating cheese!

Although the cake was simple, I like it very much. (Sometimes simplicity can be the best!) The
pandan and kaya combination went rather well together, emerging as one unique taste. They were like 2 ores, alloying
together to form a stronger material. (I must have played too much games in the past) Another thumbs up was because
of the alternating layers of sponge and pudding-like kaya, it did not contain any cream! (Do not count the decorations
on its surface; I did not like cream.)
Mum loves coffee and I have already guessed beforehand that she would order the coffee cake. Coffee sponge with
coffee flavoured cream. Everything about it was just coffee. I still preferred my pandan kaya cake!

My friend choose the green tea and orange chocolate while I choose the double chocolate and durian! Look at the shape of
these egg tarts, so different from the normal ones. They looked like little flower pots filled with egg custards. The egg
custards were really soft and yummy! We split all 4 into halves so that we could share all the flavours. The green tea flavour was the tart itself. The egg custards in the double chocolate and orange chocolate were flavoured with chocolate and orange respectively and as for the durian, real fillings! Our favourite was the durian egg tart. I did not make the wrong choice as before I actually ordered it, I went to ask the sales assistant if the durian was only the flavour. She said no and I ordered it straight away. I felt the real durian flesh at the base as I ate it. Just do not use too much force when you hold your little 'flower pots' as they were either quite fragile or I used too much force.
