Antoinette Macaroons (Xmas' 2013 Special)


A N T O I N E T T E


Guess everyone would have heard of this place,
Well, as an macaroon fan, I decided to give this a try.
I have always been curious about how their macaroon taste like since quite sometime back!
Tee-hee & it's their Xmas' edition!
---
So generally they are priced higher than the usual macaroon price.
Each of the below is priced at $3.20 instead of the usual $2.50.
---
First up, Foret Noire// It is a 66% Dark Choc with brandied cherry.
This is my one of my fav in this x'mas collection~
Love the deep red colour~
   
-----
Secondly, we have Paradis // Strawberry Marmalade with Grand Marnier Cream.
It's like strawberry jam in the middle~ hee like this too!

 
-----
Thirdly,  Eden // 64% Dark Choc with caramel.
Love the colour combination but sadly it's not my kind of flavour~

 

Lastly, Angelique // Violet Flower cream with Blackcurrant jelly
it's purple by the way, picture don't do justice~
Din't tats the floral smell but it sure has the blackcurrant jam in the middle! not bad too!


Which is your favourite?

Spent $12-ish for a total of 4 macarons, there's GST for takeaway as well hahahaha.

Till then.

Plain Vanilla - Yong Siak Street



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

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~

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!

TIM HO WAN


This is my 2nd time visiting this Dim Sum Restaurant!!
Despite the long queuing time, I think it's all worth it! ^^
I love dim sum!
-----

Look it's the highly raved Char Siew Bun @ ($4.50 for 3)
Also my favorite here!!

  
BBQ PORK BUN!! (*.*) *Drools*

Nuff' Said, this is the BOMB!
Crispy on the outside & soft on the inside!
taste.so.good! it has a tad bit of chewiness too! 
You gotta try this! 
(be sure to eat this when you are not feeling 3/4 full, enjoy eating it when you are feeling really hungry! then you'll know what I mean >.< hehehe)

-----
My next favourite here will the Crispy Eggwhite Spring Roll ($4.20)
hahahha opps one piece is missing!
It has got prawns inside, the layer was surprisingly crispy and thin ^^
yumyum


------
Sorry for the lack of picture in this post,
I can be quite bias and thus only showing you my fav food here!
The steam egg cake was a little disappointing imo.
No doubt it's soft but it kind of lack flavour, too blend for my liking
Especially so after you eat the bbq pork bun the steam egg cake seem average~
-----
The Siew Mai was good as well, didn't manage to take any pic though,
We gobbled it down opps!
Overall, a worthwhile dimsum place you should come at least once in your life!
We were so full ate the rice, carrot cake, vermicelli rolls & it's only $20!
Very affordable & filling meal! yayyy
-----
Feel so blessed after eating the pork bun ^.^
If only they serve custard bun as well that will be heavenlyyyyy!
Till next time!
