Tiramisu hero is not difficult to spot. Located along tyrwhitt road, its entrance is flanked by a faux grass carpet and garden facade. Enter the place and you will spot sir Antonio, the cat mascot painted in different poses on the ceiling. It was a relatively quiet Monday afternoon and the cafe wasn't really crowded and it was a pretty nice place for reading or chilling out. I got a little excited by the menu and ordered the yummy sounding Truffle Egg Bacon ($10.50). The dish is meant to be a starter so te portions were relatively small. It is essentially scrambled eggs, cooked outside to be a little firm and circular shaped while the insides remained warm and fluffy. There were also strips of crispy bacon to be found in it. It was served on top of fragrant slices Portobello mushrooms which really completed this delicious dish. I also had their Mommahero ($7.50)- essentially the name for the tiramisu in a jar, meant for 1 serving. There were many exotic flavors available and I chose the strawberry flavour- which came with chunky strawberry slices wedged between fresh cream and spongecake. This tasted more like strawberry shortcake than tiramisu and can potentially be a let down for some. I also had their macchiato ($5.50) which was pretty strong, fragrant espresso shot served with foam milk.

I did not find service here lacking- the staff are generally polite and accommodating. You do have to place orders at the cashier in front though. I do find prices a little steep for the relatively petite portions of food here. But the environment is really inviting and nice to be in.
