Hoshino Coffee

I was definitely not thinking of blogging about this resturant at all when I was there so I am afraid there is not much photos available.

It was kind of like a last minute decision to eat there. I was shopping around with my friend at PS and we were just looking for some place with nice dessert to sit down and rest our feet.

Spotted Hoshino Coffee with not much queue so we decide to join in for a table. Personally I do not think they have a great variety in their menu so please look at the menu first before joining the queue. You won't want to wait so long for a table and end up with no desire for any of the food.

As I said earlier, we were looking for dessert so we ordered the famous pancake soffle there.

You will need to wait around 20 minutes for the pancake soffle. I guess they are made upon ordering only. Each serving is quite big so if you are a small eater, please share.

The pancake soffle is nice. Soft and spongy and not too sweet even with the syrup poured in. However, as I said, the serving is a bit too big for one. I am not likely to give this a try again within these few months after finishing the whole serving by myself. Haha...

This is pancake soffle style with mango. You have the option of having it with either softee or handmade whipped cream. Mine is in softee. Not sure if it's just that day or that's the original taste, the mango tasted a bit weird. In the end, we left them untouched.

This is pancake soffle style with chocolate and banana. I find it much nicer then the one with mango. If I ever want to try the pancake soffle again, I will definitely order this instead of the mango.

 

Total damage for this two pancake soffle is $31.78 including GST and service charges. It's really quite pricey. I think I can find nicer dessert with this kind of pricing. However, if you have not tried it before, the taste is worth a try.

Paris Baguette Cafe Singapore (Wisma Atria)

Paris Baguette Cafe has opened up in Singapore around late last year. Nice cafe, nice cake and definitely 'nice' prices for its food and drink.

I was in Seoul last year when I first tried the stuff there. I loved it so much that I had my breakfast there every morning. I find the pricing to be much more user-friendly than in Singapore.

Finally gotten a good look at the food sold in the cafe in Singapore and decide to give their cakes a try. They look too cute for me to say no. Most importantly, I manage to find an empty table within minutes.

I ordered the Earl Grey Tea Cake, Oh, My Baby Crepe and the Original Flavour Royal Pudding. Cake ranges from $6.50 to $8.50 a piece and the pudding ranges from $4 to $4.50 a bottle.

Cakes look nicer than they taste. Hehe... But I still find them quite nice. Cakes are soft and the flavouring are not too strong. You can find slices of stawberry between the layers of cakes.

You must try the pudding! I am not a great lover of pudding but this pudding won me hands down. It does not have the same texture as your normal pudding. It loves more milky. I have the original flavour. I think they add in caramel so you will need to stir it first before eating.

Above are the different flavours of the royal pudding that they have. However, on my visit, they only have three flavours available. I guess they will rotate the different flavours for sale each day and it just depend on your luck to see what they have for sale that day. I am definitely going back to try more of this.

Honeymoon Dessert @ Vivo

After a hot day in Sentosa, icy cold dessert is the best solution in the world.

I have been wanting to try out the honeymoon dessert at vivo but it seem like there is forever a long q waiting outside. This time round, I am determine to find out why is there always a crowd there.

This is the durian pancake. The skin and filling is very soft. It's quite nice but not something I will q long timing for.



My favourite dessert of all time. Mango Pomelo & Sago Sweet Soup. It's totally not cold at all. I won't even call it a cold dessert. Will not go back and try this again if they are going to serve all their cold dessert at room temperature.

I can understand that they have a lot of customer. But a shop should never lower the quality of their food to compensate the quantity of customers. This does not help to attract return customers at all.


I can't remember the name of this dessert. It has kiwi, manago and glutinous rice ball contain in mango juice. This is actually much better than my dessert as they have throw in some ice cube into the manago juice, making the dessert slightly chill.


I have no idea how this shop manage to draw such a big crowd all this while if this is the kind of standard of food served. While, maybe it's just my luck but I doubt I will be going back there anytime soon.

Fruit Tarlets

After receiving the baby shower gift from my friend, I became interested in the idea of baking my own fruit tartlets too.

Sometimes, we have to face the fact that having an interest does not equal to being an excellent baker. I chose the next best alternative to ensure that my fruit tartlets will be edible at the very least. I went to attend a baking class conducted by ITSI Baking Studio.

It turned out that fruit tartlets is not difficult to bake. My main difficulty is the decorating of the fruit tartlets with the limited resources that were given to us. Well, I do have to admit that I am also not a very creative person, maybe even a bit boring. I simply have not much idea on how to make my fruit tartlets look nice and attractive.


These are the fruit tartlets made by all the students in the class. They do look very nice right?


Finally! These are the fruit tartlets baked and decorated by me!!! I am sure they are not the best fruit tartlets you have come across in your life but do give me some encouragement since this is my first time. :p

Taste wise, I just find it so so only... Delifrance fruit tartlets is always the best. I guess if I am in the mood for fruit tartlets, I will not hesitate to just go there and get one to satisfy the craving. After all, a Delifrance outlet has just open up across my house. How convenient! Hehe...

Baby Shower Fruit Tart

I have recently received a box of baby shower fruit tarts. This is certainly a more unique gift for baby shower as normally I will expect to receive some cakes or a cake voucher.

This fruit tarts are not like the normal fruit tarts that we can get from Delifrance (those are unbeatable in both presentation and taste). They are shaped more like a cupcake but it's simply a fruit tart with a thicker base than normal.

Taste wise, I have yet to try. I always felt that baby shower gifts usually look nicer than they taste. Hehehe... Definitely not in a hurry to finish up that box.
