Desserts

Overly sweet sesame ice cream - quite a disappointment- was craving for a good authentic black sesame ice cream and leaped for joy when I saw it on daily scoop’s seasonal menu .

The waffles were too thin and airy - almost like eating air . Pretty good for the calorie conscious but barley hitting the mark for a genuine waffle.

The best was probably the waffle cone 😁.

Not very impressed with my trip down this time .

Hope standards improve soon .

Avocado arigato.

Need a respite from the maddening heat and crowd everywhere .

What Better than a cool avocado shake .

No trace of gula Melaka fragrance but anyhow a creamy lovely treat 🌱

This place has so much more potential than it’s actually doing now - maybe a more affordable brunch menu ( the brunch menu items are now like 18 dollars 😆) and more variety of avocado 🥑 items like an avocado soft serve or avocado pancakes 😂?

Walked past this bakery a few times but didn’t like how flat their breads looked so I hadn’t try .

Took the opportunity to try their cakes - this was supposed to be a light and fluffy cake but the cake was slightly dense and looked a little untidy to begin with .

I like how the cake was not too sweet but hope that that it could be a wee bit lighter in texture.

Not cheap at 7.80 - but has pretty good potential if the execution is improved further .

Service could have been more friendly too 😇.

Some legitimate pandan waffles from island creamy .

My favourite’s always been the very berry and Black Forest gelato . Pretty forgotten ice cream shop - nothing like its former serene centre days but still a nice place to hang out .

Pretty icy very berry ice cream today but the waffle was really good.

Crisp outside and soft inside with a genuine pandan flavour . Was pretty sure that the pandan extract was made from scratch and sure enough it was ( upon my checking from the staff ).

Waffle with double scoop ice cream at 10 dollars .
Value for money ☝️.

Took me the longest time to come savour these Kuehs - too much work from wfh 🤣.

Tempted by burppler’s wei Zhi’s post so once my eyes have seen - my tummy must have .

Made my way to Mr Bready’s and loving the Sunday vibes of this old and forgotten Meiling hawker.

It’s interesting how you see people zooming in straight to the few “ popular “ stalls here .

One of them is Mr bready- a stall that sells Huat Kuehs ( made of a sweet potato base and flour ) and a host of other breads and Ang ku kueh ( in turtle shapes - only available on certain days ).

The Huat kueh is best eaten fresh on the days it’s made. I had the matcha flavour today and while fluffy and nice , it had a slight tinge of that overuse of baking powder rendering an uncomfortable feel on the side of my teeth - if you know what I mean .

The kueh was a little more QQ the first time I had it and a little more on the sticky side today .

Having said that - it’s still a hearty healthy treat to have for breakfast or post lunch .

I like how their bakes and treats are never too sweet and all natural .

Come early to avoid disappointment :) the Hot Kuehs fly off the shelves .

40 hands pau look a like pau from Hao eccellente - a new supermarket at Marina Square .

Reminds me of the expensive paus with Uber smooth red bean paste sold by forty hands cafe .

Doesn’t it ?

Hao Eccellente supermarket

New supermarket at Marina Square carrying some interesting products .

Here’s one for you msw durian lovers !

Absolutely seductive cakes and coffee ...

From the moment I entered this cosy cafe at sultan plaza , the matcha roll hadn’t stopped winking at me .

What hit me next was the smell of the aromatic freshly ground coffee beans .

The matcha roll was as good as it looked or even better . Luxurious matcha smooth paste atop fluffy matcha cake with a little matcha cream .
The cake was so lightly sweetened that it was such a pleasure to eat .

The latte was so incredulously smooth and aromatic - better than most coffees at famed cafes .

Get the Swiss roll and coffee cake set for 9.50.

The other hot favourites are their homemade sweet potato cake , Earl grey cake and black sesame cake .

Don’t forget to bag some almond and cranberry biscottis home - they were so good - I finished the whole bag at the cafe on top of my cake and coffee .

Cakes are baked by the korean owner and you can order them a day in advance if you need whole cakes . So affordable at 36 dollars for a whole cake with such high quality taste and ingredients .

Had a pecan craving today and what better than a pecan pie .

The only place I can find a decent pecan pie these days . The standard is pretty close to the ones olio dome used to serve - if not better 😀.

Not too sweet with an aromatic honey flavour .

The tart is filled with pecan nuts and the tart base is nice and crisp.

Ask for your pie to be warmed up for 20 seconds - that’s the magic number .

10/10.

Finally back at ah lock after being “ locked” home so long.

Beautifully crisp and tender Mian Jian Guo - with a gooey not too sweet peanut butter and peanut filling .

What could be better for breakfast ?

Delightful ondeh ondeh cake - probably one of the least cream covered cake in cedele .

Full of pandan and gula Melaka goodness and full of contrasting textures of the pandan custard , soft pandan sponge and freshly grated coconut .

My new favourite .

Can’t get more ole school than this.

Light and crisp crust , wobbly and not too sweet egg custard .

You can’t stop at one .

Or maybe you can - it’s huge :)
