Decided to meet up with ma girls on the eve of Xmas~

it was a pretty last min decision, but at least I know where they are located at...

Headed here for some high tea!

hahahaha who says you gotta have log cakes for Xmas?

   

the array of teas

   

& what would tea be without some cakes!!~

& the legendary rainbow cake! :D

it's a pretty small cafe with chairs lined quite closely to each other~

     

& yes we sat around this corner with these vintage seats? hahahaha

we shared all these, minus the drinks!

yes all the sugars & calories!

Loving their caramel latte~

   

Chocolate Truffle Cake ($6.50)

this was pretty good! it's like mousse like texture & 

what I love most would be the layer of waffle crisp on the bottom layer!

lookin' spongy~

Carrot Cake!

It was moist and fragrant but not the best around...

   

Next, the Chocolate Lava Cake!

yumyum the choc ozoing out~

really sinful but good~

You can choose to have a scoop of vanilla ice cream to go with it as well.

charged separately~ be sure to drink lots of water yeah!

Rainbow Cake ($9.00)

& yes the long anticipated rainbow cake!

hehehe really happy to see it, served in a plate with a snowman at eh side.

the oiture really don't do justice! yellow lighting sigh~

 

so it tasted like vanilla-cream kinda flavor, 

really light & sweet (:

I just feel happy eating it, the pastel colours and it didn't taste too heavy!

Bliss!

 

& we took some childhood favs!

It's complementary aka freee!*smiles widely* hehehe

nomnomnom~

we also ordered a side of nachos & cheese to share~ $12 I think

& goodbye to teddy & bunny~

Overall, it is quite a simple & cozy cafe in the Upper Serangoon vicinity.

It can get a little crowded but at least it's not that noisy,

mostly you see students around & I will definitely recommend the rainbow//choc truffle//lava cake!

A great place for some catchup/ small group of friends! 

I like the idea of having complementary biscuits ^^

Sorry for not having the price listed for every cakes/drinks cause I couldn't remember

-----

& we had a feast over at Chomp Chomp~

No photos taken though~

Happy X'mas Eve!

Plain Vanilla - Yong Siak Street

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PLAIN VANILLA!

Yes, I am back with a PV post! ;)

I am in love with their store over at Yong Siak Street, I really gotta share this place with you guys!

It's's a place I'd want to hang out with your friends for some tea & pastries!

Or even a place for individual to grab a magazine & have some muffins  with tea ^^

A really cozy place, don't you already feel the Chrismasy spirit?!

Wreaths for deco & for sale

heh can you spot cinnamon sticks on the Xmas tree~?

Sucha cute idea

Look these cakes are to die for~!

I can't even decide which.... *drools*

& hey, it's their birthday~!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY PV!!

Decided to get our favorite again: Hummingbird Cake

Credits: PV FB Page

hahaha sorry about the spam of carrot cakes photos yeah

---

Okay, anyway I have blogged about The Hummingbird before, see here

Basically it's really flavorful, thick, rich  moist.

Hummingbird taste very much like carrot cake if you are wondering what it is all about

But I'll recommend you to share this with a friends or 2, cause it's quite a big slice~

See the sliced pineapple thing on top~

---

& Since it was freshly baked, we got Blueberry Cake

It's really shaped like a pretty sunflower, so pretty~

Credits: PV FB Page

ouhhh look its blueberries on the bottom and on top of the cake!

   

   

Personally find this cake a little plain, meh~

I was expecting it to taste really heavenly but I guess, it more of like a simple butter cake with generous blueberries on top and bottom~

Maybe they should come up with blueberries & lemon flavour, cause I do know that blueberries itself does not bring much flavour on it's own, but it still looked rlly pretty no doubt!

-----

Overall Verdict: A Must Try Place (yummy cupcakes with great ambience!!)

Honestly, I did had a hard time deciding which to eat 

Spoilt for choices from cupcakes, cakes, tarts, tea cakes and even brownie!!??

It's definitely a girl's version of what heavenly comfort food is all about~

---

& I was so determined to have some cupcakes to takeaway but I was feeling so bloated,

I couldn't even move~

Please don't get me wrong, these pastries are Awesome!

& they are really generous with their serving! 

A big plus point & considering how the quality is good as well~

Their cupcakes are rlly good too ^^

---

2 girls with 2 cakes, is really one of a kind experience & especially so after we ate out lunch~!

I am not even joking, cakes does make you feel full

---

So I'll recommend you to get a cake and maybe some tarts/ muffins to share instead of 2 cakes

Which is really gonna make you really bloated & too sweet after awhile~

-----

Look how creative is this~

you just gotta buy a jar, add your own milk/eggs stir these in & bake it~ 

fuss free eh!

they even have a section where they sell cards, coasters, little books.

perfect or gifting this coming Christmas~

Paid $14.40 for both slices, totally worth it.

The Ambience was really good, especially with those wooden furniture & open siting concept was really cozy!!

Loving this place, definitely coming back to try more of their stuffs!

"Lady M® Confections is the pioneer of the well-loved Mille Crêpe cake. Its signature cake Lady M® Mille Crêpes, features no less than twenty paper-thin handmade crêpes layered with ethereal light pastry cream, gently caramelized on top until golden."

From clockwise direction: 

Gâteau aux Marrons, Signature Mille Crêpes, Gateau Nuage, Strawberry Shortcake





1. Gâteau aux Marrons- For the creamy lover (just the right amount of sweetness) out there, it has some almond taste and it is topped with some roasted walnut & icing sugar 
2. Signature Mille Crêpes- thinly sliced truly delicate& true enough it's does melt in your mouth & definitely a must-try for the crepe-lover (even if you are not one, you might even like this version of mille crepe!)
3. Gateau Nuage- Simply put, it's a rich cheesecake, with a sight layer of sweetened sour cream with a thin cinnamon graham crust
4. Strawberry Shortcake - Classic strawberry shortcake. 
----------
I enjoyed the cheesecake very much
Really thick & moist cheese
sweet yumyum ( for cheesecake lover!)
---------
We went in the evening after our dinner, 
so pretty much most of the cakes we wanted were sold out :(
Generally the cakes here are not too sweet, definitely suitable for everyone!
Cakes took awhile to serve
I will probably go back again to try these cakes that we originally wanted: Checkers, Raspberry Chocolate, Green Tea Mille Crêpes (Seasonal) and the Strawberry MIlle Feuille!!
---------

A elegant shop floor, white as their main colour.
Definitely worth a try! Price ranges from $7-10/ slice.

What better ways to spent it with your friends over some cakes & being close to nature.

Since there was 3 of us, we decided to each have different cake flavour to try.
Well, from the picture you can't really distinguish between which is which,
So let me enlighten you:

We had: Apple Cider x The Humming Bird x Raspberry Lemon



Honestly, it was good.
I love cakes that are moist and tall (fat layers)...

There was quite a variety of cakes in the store & we are kind of spoilt for choices because all of them looked so good y'know!

Okay so i got The Humming Bird!
Just like what the guy told me in the store, it was somewhat like a "english" version of Carrot Cake.
& i love the combination of banana with pecan so yummeh! ^^

Next, Raspberry Lemon! It was a really unique one.
Definitely worth a try if you're a fan of berries!
With a little lemony touch to it as well!

& Lastly, The Apple Cider
This is for apple lover who doesn't want their cake too heavy!

Overall, I am rather satisfied with the cakes here.
Really moist & if you're looking at dining outdoor this is the place!
It was really hot day though, we came here about 2pm
it was so hot & humid!
Maybe coming here in the late afternoon would be a better choice!
What's more this place isn't that crowded compared to most cafes I have been to.
Definitely a place I would recommend for some desserts! (:
Although the cakes might taste pretty similar after a while 
(possibly due to the cream cheese which is on every cake!)

Prices range from &8-9 per slice of cake
A little on the higher end but worth the try!
Nearest MRT station at Clarke Quay!

Look how thick the slices are!!
