2017-09-02T01:28:00.000-07:00

Red - Rosella cream, beetroot cake, watermelon, dragon fruit, strawberry

Red, literally invites everything "red" on the plate. This is the mildest dessert of all, that is why it's also the starter. P/S: I never thought beetroot cake is THAT good?! The cake is so fluffy and light like a pink sponge with a hint of beetroot, which is really easy to consume! Surprise, surprise, coming from a person who dislikes beetroot.

Pandanbert - Pandan panna cotta, salak ice, kacang hijau, pear

This idea came from Camembert cheese... The round container is made out of pandan leaves, the panna cotta has a nice pandan aroma and I actually prefer it without the mung bean. The mung bean is overpowering the pandan flavour of the pudding so I thought it's nicer and more refreshing without it. And no there is no cheese in this dessert...

White Chocolate, Black Heart - Cocoa butter cake, tamarind, kemangi sorbet, injin meringue

This is one confusing plate but it balances really well - a mixture of strong flavours and subtle sourish and anything with meringue hardly disappoints.

The making of the jackfruit cake.

Taro Card - Taro Pudding, toasted coconut gelato, jackfruit, soy meringue

The jackfruit cake is lightly torched for the roasted flavour, topped with a scoop of milky coconut ice cream (it's not the regular light coconut ice cream), served with passionfruit for the sourish taste and topped with coconut flakes. A combi between coconut and jackfruit creates a very tropical feel and taste.

The Sugar Refinery - Coconut nectar chantilly, chocolate toblerone, soursop, Balinese meringue

This is also another confusing dish. It has chocolate and it's sour. Creamy, chocolate, and sourish from the soursop sorbet. I really like the meringue, it says Balinese meringue and has this light unique taste...

Gingerbread Man - Sorghum pain d'epice, passion fruit curd, crackjerjack, long pepper

It's basically a different way of serving gingerbread with a texture of a cake. I never like gingerbread to begin with so this is probably my least favourite of all. Don't get me wrong, it's actually very good and that's why I ate more than usual - I usually won't take more than a scoop as I prefer ginger to go with savoury dishes more than desserts!

Ghostface Keller - Doughnut, Reblochon cream, papaya, apple tatin, cocoa nibs

The ghostface was my favourite for the night... It was the one with the most unique taste. The white stuff on the doughnut is cheese. The cheese may have a cream cheese texture but no it tastes nothing as good as cream cheese, it's like eating rotten cream cheese. But if you eat it together with the papaya and apple tatin, the odd taste is covered. It creates whole different taste, it makes this doughnut so heavenly - the combi of sweet, savoury with a creamy touch is there. OMG I could have this all day!!!!!!!

Caramel Tea Brulee - Caramel, black tea, cardamom, sea salt

Very nice brulee texture with a hint of tea, cardamom and salt. I've had foie gras brulee before, I'm sure I can handle this one!

Chocobubbles - Mom's cookies, kluwak, warm mousse, "nibs" nougatine

A cup of dark chocolate mousse, it's for you chocolate lovers out there! I don't normally take so much chocolate so this was the only one we could not finish. The last dessert is also one of the more filling dessert as compared to the rest. I think if this was the first one I will be full by the 4th or 5th course.

As it was still early, we did not take their cocktail pairing set. We only had a cocktail each.

Season 6 Finale - every dish is carefully prepared and they are all too beautiful to eat!!

Menu changes every 6 months...

It costs IDR490k for the whole 9 courses - good for 2-3 pax. Though the greedy me thinks it's good fit for one pax :P

Don't let the entrance yet to you - it looks like a factory but it's more than just a factory!

Thank you Chef Willd Goldfarb for the brains behind this concept!! Sadly he was travelling when we visited so we did not get to see him.

Likes: Very creative "fine dining" desserts to substitute a full fledged meal, friendly service, creative cocktails, cocktail pairing available

Dislikes: I can't think of anything that I do not like here - everything's too fine, from food to friendly service! Perhaps the only downside is the location... You'll have to travel all the way to Ubud for it!

Conveniently located at Orchard Road, in Mandarin Gallery. I couldn't recognise the entire place; we used to go to Mandarin Orchard a lot until MBS popped up. I can barely remember the old Mandarin anymore.. Jeez, I've got to stop relating it what it was a decade ago.

La Rose (SGD12)

I would definitely come here just for their cakes though. The cakes are more worthy than their brunch plates for sure. The La Rose is filled with chocolate mousse, which is normally something I would avoid as I would choose anything but chocolate. This turned out to be a pleasant surprise, the cake is very smooth and not too sweet for me.

Likes: Love how pretty the cake looks; it looks and tastes good too.

Dislikes: Will definiteley not have brunch here anymore.

Crispy Profiteroles (RM23)

Crispy indeed, stuffed with salted caramel ice cream that melts SUPER fast. You need to be really quick if you want to take photos of it!

Red Wine Poached Pear (RM29)

I came for this - but I think I like the profiteroles more. The pear is definitely perfectly poached with red wine, but I guess it tasted too weird for my likings. It's bitter sweet and one thing for sure, they are not stingy with the wine!

Likes: Very nice place to chill (probably better at night). Desserts are a little pricey but I believe they also deliver quality.

Dislikes: The place itself is a little warm so it was a little uncomfortable to sit any longer, could perhaps work on the air-conditioning...

2017-06-07T01:46:00.000-07:00

Red Bean (RM5)

We came here after at dining at Goon Wah which turned out to be a mess (expensive meal, terrible service, and we did not want to order more so we left - Goon Wah, not Lean's). Which turned out to be a good choice.

Barley Gingko (RM5.50)

Their tong sui is slightly pricier - you'll notice that you pay only around RM2-3 or so by the street but you're paying a lot more here. It's basically like home cooked tong sui. Barley and gingko came with loads of gingko, so they deliver not just quality, it also fetches the value.

Mak Chuk (RM5)

It's more expensive but I felt it was worth paying for - all tong sui I've tried are all rich and thick. It's not some diluted craap you pay for a cheaper price. I don't normally take Mak Chuk but it was surprisingly good. It was so thick i had to share this bowl, can't finish it by myself.

Chee Cheong Fun (RM6)

After being cheated by Goon Wah, I thought this RM6 noodles was much more worth paying than what we had in Goon Wah.

Likes: A little pricier but it's worth paying for. Plenty of choices

Dislikes: Plenty choices.. but almost every visit they run out of things I want to order, could probably work on that since they provided choices they should have it ready

Café Pushkin Кафе Пушкинъ

2017-05-28T03:45:00.000-07:00

When I was told that this is only a "cafe", I would think it's a casual place that a typical cafe would be anywhere else in the world. Here in Moscow, cafes are so posh and pretty, not dressing up for it makes you look silly.

This posh cafe seems so magically pretty that every picture taken is a big wow. Feels like I'm in Beauty in the Beast, if you recall the library scene in the castle where Belle and the Beast hung out.

We were placed upstairs at the Library Hall. There are a few floors, and do check out the elevator in the building.. It's a very old one and it is still operating. The building itself is very old, so becareful of the uneven steps as the toilet is located at the basement and it is very dark down there.

Olivier Salad (₽1490 / USD25.50)

Oliver or Olivier salad, main ingredient is egg, potato and mayo. Lots of mixed vegetables in it too, topped with yellow and red caviar. I believe there's crawfish in it too since the tail was served together with the salad. It was so good I finished every bit of it! The only thing I hated was capers...

Borsch Soup (₽655 / USD11.20)

Russian beetroot soup with a spoon of sour cream. I hated beetroot but for some reason, Russian's beetroot tasted different from the usual ones I had. It is all sweet and very addictive - a little bit like Chinese's ABC soup but additional beetroot in it. It is really refreshing I could use another portion!

Grilled Sea-bass with Roasted Potatoes and Vegetables (₽1990 / USD34)

Unfortunately, I was already almost full by the time my main arrived. This will not be the main reason for my judgement on this dish. The main was nothing special at all - just grilled sea bass which Italian's salt crust version is way better. Fish is very fresh with a hint of lemon sourness (I squeezed more lemon to it), served with perfectly grilled potatoes and vegetable skewer. I finished the fish anyway; I felt absolutely guilty for not finishing the fresh fish.

Dessert Café Pushkin (₽985 / USD16.80)

The ever popular Café Pushkin Dessert... Cake made out of berrys, topped with a layer creamy mouse, covered with a layer of chocolate. A mixture of sour and sweet... perfect combination!

Likes: A wonderful surprise - this is not a cafe, it's a proper beautiful and posh restaurant! No complains on food & service

Dislikes: Probably consider increasing the brightness in the toilet - it's hazardous...

WooBar @ W Samui

2017-05-20T08:43:00.000-07:00

Every trip is quite incomplete without having a drink at a picturesque bar. For island vacays, it will be a sunset bar. I did a search online and ultimately, W has one of the prettiest bar in Koh Samui.

I have always visited W hotels in the city but never actually visit a resort of W's before. The entrance is quite far from the main road, which is about 10 minutes from Fisherman's Village, depending on the traffic.

There are four pods facing the sea and those pods are really popular for group photos and selfies, especially the last pod which has no obstruction. This bar isn't just for people who wants to get drunk by sunset, it isn't all about partying, they also serve afternoon tea from 1pm till 6pm.

At W London, music starts to play out loud somewhere late evening, turning the hotel/lobby into a party place, same goes to W Seoul. It looks like it is their trademark to play dance music so the place becomes much livelier.

I like W's contemporary design - whether it's their room, bar or common area, they all look very modern and hipster but more on the high-end side where it looks really classy.

View from the edge of the bar - it looks like a private pool for residents. If you're looking for a quiet getaway, W Samui is definitely the place to be. You don't even need to leave the place, you get everything in the hotel itself.

View from everybody's favourite selfie spot.

Loi Krathong (THB480++)

I saw this on the menu and it was a spot on. It was simply beautiful and also the reason I chose this. I'm sure this happens to most ladies as pretty things are always appealing! Fresh flowers, rather mild cocktail which is suitable for those of you who wants something light.

Thai Dragon (THB380++)

Pam introduced this cocktail which is one of the more popular ones. I prefer this over Loi Krathong as I normally don't like ice in my cocktails unless it's whiskey ice. This cocktail is very little in terms of ml but it is actually quite potent. You can finish it in 4-5 sips but every sip gets to your head! Will not recommend if you are a light drinker. Some chocolate lining with nuts on top of the glass is very addictive and goes so well with the drink! P/S: You've got to suck your drink from the bird's ass! Perhaps not the best idea for a man to be sipping it :P

Black is the New Pink (THB360++)

This drink is literally pink from beetroot's natural colouring. It comes with a hint of tequilla, which was supposed to be a hint but boy this was strong! A little fruity and sourish on top of tequilla; I'm sure tequilla lovers will enjoy it. This was alright for me, I guess the tequilla wasn't my cup of tea.

We were moved from the pod to the sheltered area when it started to drizzle. It was so unfortunate for us as there was no great sunset view for the night. It was all cloudy that evening and we were "compensated" for the natural phenomenon. We were offered two glasses of cocktails which was so nice of them to do so, as they actually do not have the control over nature and yet they made a move to compensate us. This is the difference between quality bars, they put the extra effort to keep their customers happy.

Thank you Pam for arranging the pod for us and an introduction to the hotel & island too!

Likes: Very picturesque bar, strong cocktails which I would say it is totally worth our money, very friendly staffs

Dislikes: Viewing sunset from this bar is like a gamble; either you get it or you don't (though it's really not up to W's call to decide)

Epiphyte

2017-05-13T13:37:00.000-07:00

We wanted to visit Mad by Sucre, but ended up here because of Mad by Sucre's 1 drink 1 cake policy was ridiculous. Business owners are entitled to set whatever rules they want - but such rule of forcing their consumers to purchase will drive people away. Epiphyte on the other hand, may not be as popular but at least they welcomed us without any silly rule.

Terrarium ($13++)

Very beautiful dessert but it tasted quite oddly strange, which I can't really compare this to anything else. The cake is very spongy and absorbed the artificial green colouring which I did not enjoy. I'll say it's just pretty to take photos but taste is not my cup of tea.

Galaxy Cake ($10++)

Beautiful and shiny cake - mostly cream inside. Light and fluffy which is great for tea. It's beautiful and totally reminds me of Space, but it is not something I'll order the second time.

Since it was already late afternoon on a Sunday, the staff (or was it owner?) offered us a free cheesecake, on top of our existing order. It was really nice of him.

Which turns out to be my favourite of all!!! This fluffy white pillow looking cheesecake is infused with WHISKY! It was totally a spot on - whisky was surprisingly super strong, and yet still able to taste the fluffy cheesecake! The cake itself is not very sweet which was perfect for us - even those who dislikes dessert, actually enjoyed it!

Whisky Jewel ($8++)

They also serve savoury food too, but we did not try as we came right after lunch. Check out their popular pink risotto rice if you have a chance... the pink is from beetroot and not articial colouring!

Likes: Cute and reasonably priced cakes. Cheesecake is a must! Staffs are very friendly too!

Dislikes: Nothing at the moment

Out of the States, you can only find this in UK & Japan. I woke up super early for this, as I was not keen to queue for it...

Expect to see other pastries along the way too..

Their pastries are so pretty, I wish I had room for everything!

As I visited the cafe in London, I picked the Paris-London.

Frozen S'mores (£7.20)

This has got to be my favourite for the day!!! Torched, soft and fluffy marshmellow wrapped around Tahitian vanilla ice cream that's still frozen inside... Every bite is super heavenly!

Cronut of the Month : Mandarin Jam with Valhorna Tivara & Milk Chocolate Ganache (£4)

Did not really like the cronut in London as compared to NYC - was not as flakey... It just had the texture of a donut more like it.

Paris London (£7.50)

Earl grey mousse and lemon curd - no ladies can resist lemon curd! At least the people that I know.

Yes... I had these all by myself, with a takeaway cronut too!

Likes: Very "Instagrammable", picture worthy, beautiful pastries, convenient. Will definitely be back for pastries

Dislikes: Not cheap - a standard pastry would cost you at least £6 each, and even more if you dine in. Cronut is not as perfect as New York's version. Will definitely not order the cronut again

Instead of standing and eating street food at Nishiki Market, we went to this cafe at the end of the street, just few doors away from BAKE Kyoto.

I thought their Matcha Latte to be pretty awesome - smooth and not very creamy. Just that warm drink I needed after walking in the cold...

Likes: Simple and convenient, not as mainstream as Starbucks.

Dislikes: I thought my latte was great so nothing that I dislike.

We found this placec by accident - we just wanted a place to sit down and have cakes and coffee.

This place is just 2 minutes walk from Kuromon Ichiba Market. They seem to be packed even after 9.30pm so I'm guessing this cafe must be alright.

We ordered strawberry cake and tea, boy they actually put a whole strawberry in it!! The cake was a little dry though. Of course, a cup of coffee as we sat right in front of where they made the coffee, don't think anyone can hold that temptation!

Likes: Simple and convenient.

Dislikes: Probably nothing that special for a visit, just a drink would do.

PABLO Cheese Tart

2017-03-27T21:55:00.000-07:00

Just to see a comparison, I've decided to buy some cheese tarts from PABLO.

PABLO vs BAKE. Which is your favourite?

It's very sweet of PABLO to decorate their tarts with hearts - it's Valentines week!

I tried both Cheese Original & Matcha - both did not melt. I've tried both immediately after paying. I completely forgot to take a picture of the inner tart but basically it's just cake-like texture.

I think I prefer BAKE over PABLO. Just take a look at how BAKE's cheese oozes out:

Sorry PABLO fans, BAKE is definitely better than PABLO. #BakeFan

Likes: Alright place for cheese tart cravings...

Dislikes: It does not ooze out.

Tea Verandah

2017-03-16T19:16:00.000-07:00

We opted for the tea place in Atria because all the coffee shops (eg. Starbucks) were too full!!

So you'll get to smell the sample tea leaves - they are nothing like Chinese tea leaves, but there are a probably a few Chinese ones and they are mostly English / flower tea. Some people label it as "athas" tea.

One from our group insisted to have coffee, which was a terrible mistake - they served really bland hot coffee in a long glass without handle. All I can say is, never order coffee when you are in tea house!

I prefer BAKE over PABLO - BAKE's cheese oozes out like liquid, whereas PABLO's tarts did not. Try both and you'll know what I mean!

[Recipe] Eight Treasures Tea Jelly

2017-02-21T01:19:00.003-08:00

I'm going to leave another easy to make and healthy ancient Chinese recipe here. However, today's recipe involves more ingredients. As the name suggests, we are playing with 8 types of ingredients to make this mouth-watering after-meal dessert.
diy

The eight treasures tea is a popular drink during the late Qing Dynasty and to be consumed by Empress Ci Xi. During long northern winter, Her Royal Highness have very little opportunity to leave the court and causing her skin to feel tired and lack of energy. The imperial doctor made this special blend of herbs for the empress. The tea is consumed for longevity and youthfulness.

Ingredients:

500ml water
1/4 cup gelatin powder
1 piece honey rock sugar
4 red dates
5 slices American ginseng
A dash of Longjing green tea
A dash of chrysanthemum flowers
6 cloves of French roses
6 pieces of dried longan
A dash of wolfberries

Preparation:

Rinse the green tea leaf, red dates, chrysanthemum flower, French roses, dried longan and wolfberries until clean.
Boil water in sauce pan. Add honey rock sugar.
When the sugar diluted, add red dates and ginseng slices.
When the red dates and ginseng slices expand, add in green tea leaf, chrysanthemum, french roses, dried longan and wolfberries.
Turn off the stove and strain the ingredients to separate the tea.
Place the ingredients in the mould.

Add gelatin powder into the tea while it is still hot and stir until the gelatin powder evenly mixed.
Pour the gelatin tea into the mould. Leave until cool and chill it in the fridge.
Serve on plate.

The recipe is very versatile. You can substitute the ingredients below with the follow:

Honey rock sugar = sugar, honey, crystal rock sugar or brown sugar.
French rose = dried orange peel
Chrysanthemum = osmanthus

Some additional tips:
Always keep the fire low. Watch the tea closely so you can manage the brewing time. The jelly is best served a night after chilled in the fridge.

This recipe is good for females and can be consumed daily. If it is a food fit for an empress dowager, it is surely good for you.

Disney Afternoon Tea in London

2017-02-14T19:06:00.000-08:00

One of the things you have to do in London, is to have an afternoon tea. If you love afternoon tea and Disney at the same time, here are two afternoon tea in London that you shouldn't miss.

Following the recent blockbuster movie, Beauty and the Beast, the Hotel Kensington is serving an afternoon tea with all the characters as the main attraction of the tablewares. You will find Mrs. Potts and Chips serving you the delicious delicacies handcrafted to suit the theme. The price is GBP35 per person with additional GBP10 for a glass of champagne. It is a decent price to pay for the experience and food. Book your table immediately to avoid disappointment.

Another place which lacks of hype but just as magical is the Sanderson Hotel Alice in Wonderland Afternoon Tea. Technically, Alice isn't a Disney Princess, but she is so well-loved, her reputation is on par with the other Disney Pricesses. The Sanderson Hotel have been serving the Alice in Wonderland Afternoon Tea for a long time and often fully booked in months in advanced. Also known as the Mad Hatter Tea Party, the presentation is in line with the characters in the cartoon. The price is approximately GBP48.

Xiao By Crustz

2016-12-23T22:23:00.000-08:00

Finally the hype for this place has gone down - so it's time to try all of their cakes!

Their pastries starts from approximately RM13 to RM19 each. We had a big party that day so we ordered everything.

They all have very different texture and distinct taste, which I don't really want to discuss about it. Go and try it out yourself!

Monsieur (RM14)

Le Jasmine (RM16)

My personal favourite among all as this is one of the lightest of all.

Jaune Eclair (RM13)

Le Poire (RM14)

Very limited seats as the shop is quite small.

Flowers in the Window Cafe

2016-11-28T01:25:00.000-08:00

I have never been to Johor in my life (except going through the check-points on the way to Singapore, so I guess that doesn't count), but this year itself, I have been to the state more than 5 times. Recently whilejalan-jalan cari makan (meaning, roaming around for food) in JB, I found this eclectic looking cafe. The peculiar name got me really curious - Flower in the Window. In a glance, one might mistaken this cafe as a plant shop. The front shop is decorated with lushest potted plants that you definitely won't miss when passing by Jalan Dhoby.

We were awed with the entire interior design of the cafe that we couldn't resist to stop by for cakes despite just had a filling lunch at Roost Cafe down the road.

The foods are highly inspired by flowers and of course, you can find some hints of flower ingredients in their cooking as well. Their specialties are the variety of breads. Do check out the bread section on the menu.

My favourite pick from the drinks menu is the rosemary, chilli & lemon. Sounds weird? The taste is . acceptable and pretty refreshing. The chilli flakes are added to tickle your buds and not spicy at all.

Half of the first floor is catered for the open kitchen. Do proceed to the second floor for more spacious seating. The environment is homey and cozy. It is a place perfect for hangout with friends.

Located at Publika, this shop seems to be busy all the time. They serve Thai street food with an exorbitant price. You people are paying for their rental as well.

Boran Thai Ice Cream (RM16.90)

Not sure what style is this, but bread??? And there's sticky rice. Nothing wrong with that, except I just wanted coconut ice cream. This is too much for me.

Som Tam (RM15.90)

Yeah, you're probably thinking you can get something like this in Thailand for half the price. Also, the portions in Thailand are twice bigger and much more generous when it comes to ingredients like dried shrimps / salted egg / salted crab. Theirs is a very small and sad portion which consists of very little taste of the shrimps.

Pandan Chicken (RM13.90)

The pandan chicken is exceptionally small, and also pretty disgusting. The chicken is wrapped with pandan leaves and it's unusually oily. They are too lazy to even drain the oil before serving! The middle bits are a little pinkish. I'm not even sure if it's because of being frozen for too long so it isn't fresh or it's just undercooked. Also, these are not chunks of chicken meat, it's 50% chicken meat, 40% chicken fats and 10% chicken skin. After removing the disgusting 50%, I'm left with the chicken meat no bigger than a Ferrero Rocher chocolate. Wait, the chocolate is bigger than the actual chicken meat. This is anything but good.

"Original" Coconut Shake (RM15.90)

Please slap yourself silly if you order the Coconut Shake. It's so full you cannot move or stir. It's a pile of tasteless shaved ice. It melts extremely fast due to our weather condition. It messed up the place. When we finally had most of the tasteless shaved ice, the bottom bit is extremely sweet. What kind of coconut shake is this????? I just can't. For RM15.90, there are better options out there.

And the prices are not inclusive of GST and Service Charge. Yes, please spend your money elsewhere. This place is now listed on the Top 10 Terrible Thai Joints in Klang Valley.

On a side note, it's Halal. Perhaps that's why the attracted so many people. I shall continue to hunt for Pork Free/Halal Thai shops in Klang Valley which are MUCH better than this one.
