Located in a currently not-so-secretive spot of Bukit Timah, Carpenter and Cook was once a hidden find given its location behind the main road. With everyone learning about its existence, empty seats can be a rare find there even on weekdays during non-peak hours as well. They also have just recently opened a new takeaway kiosk at Jasmine Road as well to expand the business.The Passionfruit Tart might be one of their most raved desserts, but we got the Lemon Tart ($6.50) to suit our not-so-adven
The Passionfruit Tart might be one of their most raved desserts, but we got the Lemon Tart ($6.50) to suit our not-so-adventurous tastebuds. For those who loves a tinge of sweetness in their tarts, this may be a tad sour for its lack of meringue. I loved the tangy flavour however, which was pretty tart yet refreshing at the same time. The tart base was firm to hold its structure but not too hard to cut at the same time.
I don’t remember seeing the Banoffee Tart ($6.50) in my previous visit, so probably this is one of their more recent creations. The top of the tart was a cream layer with cocoa powder coated on the top, while nearing the base was the caramalised bananas and toffee. The bottom was sweet, while the top had a rather neutral flavour. We were not sure if the cream was supposed to even out the sweetness from underneath, but the taste just did not seem to come together nicely.
Having tried two tarts, we decided to get a Lavender Bundt Cake ($4.00) . While a Bundt Cake was supposed to be similar to a pound cake in terms of texture, this was slightly too moist and clumpy that it felt rather similar to a muffin instead. The taste however was a saving factor as it was light and aromatic, therefore creating a flavour that one would not get sick of so easily.
The Flat White ($5.00) was rather decent, with a earthy aroma at the end. Definitely suits the tastebuds for those who dislike acidic-tasting blends.For the full review, please visit: http://jiaksimipng.wordpress.com/2014/01/11/carpenter-and-cook-lorong-kilat/
