Nearly missed this little café while walking around Holland after dinner. It has a little sign to indicate that it's on the second level, easy to miss it though. I've heard from my friends that it's well known for burgers but didn't try it because I already had dinner! My friends and I were just there to have some desserts. It was so hard to choose which tart/cake to buy because all of them looks so good! So we asked for some recommendations and the staff there recommended chocolate & salted car
It was so hard to choose which tart/cake to buy because all of them looks so good! So we asked for some recommendations and the staff there recommended chocolate & salted caramel tart ($8) and also the carrot cake ($6). There was also a buy 1 get 1 free for 3 of the tarts but we thought it will be too much for us so we did not get, but I think it's quite a steal!
The chocolate tart blew me off totally. It has a really good combination of bitter and sweet from the chocolate. Personally I prefer my chocolate bitter with a tinge of sweetness and this one was just right for me! I just couldn't get enough of it! The crust was well done too.
I didn't find the carrot cake as exemplary as the chocolate tart like how my friends raved about it. I think it's because I had the tart which has a stronger taste and that covered the milder taste of the carrot cake. But the carrot cake was quite moist, not the dry kind.
Seats are not in abundance at MU Parlor but definitely a good place to chill out with your friends over desserts. We got a table overlooking the streets of Holland Village. Plain water is complimentary but self service. There's large communal table as well, I think it can seat up to 10 pax. Funnily, MU Parlor does not charge GST but service charge instead. We spent $15.40 in total, inclusive of GST.
