When in need of a quick cake 🍰 fix ....

Cedele always comes to my mind when I need a quick coffee and cake fix.

I have since ceased ordering the infamous Cedele carrot cake because I find the cream cheese rather cloying and thick And the cake a little too dry and dense these days .

So I have gone for the lemon cloud ⛅️ cake , the strawberry 🍓 fields cake and today , the Black Forest 🌳 cake . I must say that I enjoyed the Black Forest cake - the chocolate sponge was fluffy and the cream was merciful on the waist given that it was light and was not too cloying.
The Cherries provided a nice burst of moisture to the cake - I would have liked the alcohol to come through stronger but this is still one for the better black forest cakes I have had .

Coffee and cake set for 9.50.
Pretty value for money .

This may look seemingly plain or ordinary but this Apple tart from marche is probably the best I have eaten.

The apples are well cooked without being too soft or sweet - just the nice crunch and the pastry base is crisp and buttery . The best part is that marche prides itself in using good butter for their pastries so what you get is a really awesome buttery flavour - not some imposter butter flavour along the lines of some pastries / petit croissants that I have come across elsewhere .

Ask for your Apple tart to be heated up ( in the oven PLEASE and not the microwave ) and ask for a side of vanilla sauce to drench over just before serving .

The result is dangerously good .

It’s hard to find a vegan cake especially a lemon one -

I finally found one .

And what’s better than a cake made with organic lemons , unrefined sugar and frosted with cashew cream .

Totally refreshing and light on the palate .

Great way to kick start the weekend .

Yesterday once more .....

A pretty sad Sunday for me as today spells the end of Dong Po’s journey after a good six years .

Have been back to the cafe almost every other day since i knew about their impending closure .

Managed to pack my rum cakes and coconut tarts back home to savour ....

Got the refreshing Lemongrass tea today for the sweltering weather and the usual old fashioned coconut tart .

I will miss this familiar space and hopefully they will be back somewhere , somehow .

Sunny strawberry 🍓 with waffles

To celebrate the approaching weekend -
What better than a no frills waffle and ice cream .

My favourite place for a reliable waffle and all natural ice cream .

This cake sang its way into my heart .....

Quite rare to find a hummingbird cake these days ... and what more an excellent one .

Just like what would be dished out from you nonna’s kitchen . Moist cake filled generously with pecans, juicy pineapples and topped with a not so sweet frosting with delectable toasted coconut shavings.

This cake is just way too good . ..

My favourite bagel of all time ...

Made with a sourdough base, this bagel is not only tasty but healthier.

I love the firmness and chewy-ness of this good bagel which maintains a moist interior with bits of orange 🍊 peel and dark chocolate covertures.

I finished this after wording down a croissant and egg breakfast meal so you can Guess how good this is .

Rich , decadent but not feeling guilty .. ...

One of the best chocolate tarts I have eaten without having to suffer the cloying sweetness of chocolate .

Using only the finest cocoa beans with no “ fillers” , this is really the best place to have your chocolate fill .

One is never enough ... ....

I don’t patronise Starbucks for coffee most times but when I saw the poster of a matcha foam cold brew - it kept calling out to me.

I am Glad that I went with my instinct.
Boy ! This cup of cold brew is so smooth.
I asked for the coffee portion to be sugarless since the matcha foam is already sweetened.

Matcha and coffee is a match made in heaven .

After a series of Ching Chong Chinese food and course after course of Chinese dinners , what better than a waffle and ice cream ?

Love this bailey’s chocolate chip ice cream with the light and crisp waffle.

Daily scoop never fails .

Fluffy as clouds .... ...

I used to have to get to the east to get my Putu Piring fix but thanks to Azizd’s Putu Piring ,
I can now get my Putu Piring with ease.

I love that this Putu piring is so fluffy and the the ratio of flour to gula Melaka is just right .

I actually prefer this to the one I had in the east .

I am not surprised if Long queues start forming .

For those of you who are as easily lost like me , this Hawker is the one next to OG people’s park.
( yes - the one with lots and lots of china food stalls )

Old school waffles 😀...

I like how eggy and fragrant this waffle is.
It is slightly crisp on the exterior and soft and moist inside .

Paired with a high quality vanilla bean ice cream and topped with a mint leaf 😀

Simple things done right .
