Chill and indulge in a piece of creamy, smooth cheesecake at Cake Spade. First visit there and I was already in love. Exuding new york vibes with the neon lights and all, this cosy cafe is often filled up around lunch hours. Otherwise, it makes quite a good hangout place to be definitely. 

Mocha and Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake

Strawberry Cheesecake is their top favourite and I am all hands down with this tiny cake. velvety melting tofu cheesecake topped with strawberries.Yummy.

Quality, fine cake

Mocha didn't disappoint too. 

Will be back! 

 Matcha Green Tea Avalanche 

with Azuki Beans $13.90

One of the most ordered items on the menu. This avalanche comes in two flavors- chocolate and matcha green tea. 

The fun really was seeing the molten lava flow when you broke opened the crunchy almond nougatine, dripping on top the orange-infused ice cream. Oh-my-yummy.
Catch the action!

Moist match cake with warm lava and cold ice cream? Warm, cold, warm cold. You get the idea. A great sensory tasting match. 

Cherry Pop $13.90

Enlarged a cherry about 15 times and you get this manifestation version coated with dark chocolate. =D

Pry opened like a Kinder Surprise and you will find more dark chocolate with Kirsch foam, earl grey jelly, marinated cherry compote, sponge and spicy cherry sorbet, littered with chocolate soil on the plate. Such an acquired taste, combined with the slight bitterness of alcohol, creating a bittersweet aftertaste. 

The alcoholic percentage was not strong and very pleasing. 

With a pretty plating to boot, the Cherry Pop is akin to something you can only find in fine dining restaurants. 

Deconstructed. 

Rose Cake

This was something not on the menu and was spotted at the display area that we simply picked up. 

Rose infused outer chocolate coating with raspberry jam core in sponge cake. 

Lastly...

Look out for a whole range of items from Non Entree Desserts. Ice creams, waffles, toasts, coffee drinks what have you. And yes, if you have been scrolling, they have introduced a series of new items which include some very whimsical bak chor mee except they are not your typical ones in the food centre. 

Can't wait to try those out!

A Chocolate Piece of Singapore

" Stylo Milo"

Bing-Toast

We dropped by for a little afternoon tea-break at Cafe Bene — the highly successful Korea dessert chain famed for it's Bingsu. As promised, the interior did not fail to impress with the comfy cushy ambience.  Desserts wise we had the limited edition chocolate Bene Bingsu and the Mango Honey Bread, which is essentially thick toast slashed into cubes and spread with mango puree, honey and topped with a vanilla ice ream and almond flakes to cool your heart.Though it was not as buttery or crispy as After You's in BKK, it was still quite a happy treat to have nonetheless.
Give me a toast anytime. 

For the Chocolate Bene Bingsu it was really just a mix of shaved ice ( not as fine as what we would like to have in a Bingsu, unfortunately) topped with brownie cubes and lots of chocolates. I would say this tasted pretty medicore. Still believe in authentic Bingsu houses for fine smooth ice desserts, Singapore has plenty of them now.
I wouldn't say I will visit them again specifically for the items on the menu, at least not in Singapore, but rather this is a sweet place to whilst your time away in peace.

County Home. Whimsical Joy.

As with all things soothing and at peace, this little cafe seated in the far fledged end of Serangoon Central is tastefully decorated with sparks joys of childhood reflected through its tasteful displays. Selling only Swiss rolls and drinks, that's quite a niche for a cafe.  

If you are looking for something light and non-substantial, this is the place to be. However if you need a filling meal, this place fall shorts with its limited choices. 

Look Through My Lens. 

We love the space and the intricate country-cottage style decorations with its homely feel and the large ceiling windows with the warm sunshine shining. Seats are plenty and makes for a good place to while away time. 

However, to be honest, the sweet rolls did not leave us with a very deep impression and was tasted much like Swiss rolls elsewhere. Though it was good in a not-overwhelming-sweet kind of way, the flavors did not do much to make us yearn for another repeated visit. 

We had the raspberry and green tea flavor  at $5.90/ slice with a pot of Hot Pandan Chiffon Tea $6/pot.

Here's the deed

From the map it seems the walking distance is short from Serangoon MRT but actually, walking was quite a chore as it's quite far, plus the blazzing sun didn't help. 

Take heed.

Queen Cheese Tart

The piece that caught most attention among the new flavors launched was the Queen Cheese Tart. Created with 7 blends of cheese namely Provolone, Reblochon, Gruyere, Cream Cheese, Mascarpone, cheddar and Parmesan. These handfuls are some of which I have not even come across before.

Ultimately, what turned out was not a flowing-cheese kind of tart.  Rather the filling was more custard-like and I was disappointed by its non-molten state to be honest, having seen photos of the Queen Cheese Tart looking all melty on the inside but turned out like-wise.
The standards should have been maintained.

 Taste wise, was more towards the savory note and gladly mildly sweet wrapped up in a flaky pastry. For me at the price of $3 , it's slightly expensive given it's small bite-size.

Grand Cru Chocolate Cheese Tart 

The Chocolate Cheese Tart turns out to be better only because the fillings were molten at the very least. Made with French dark chocolate. The richness of the chocolate brings out the sweet-savory of the cheese. $3 per piece.

Antoinette is located with 2 outlets:

Mad About Sucre is an elegant petite place serves great daily handmade cakes which are not only pleasing to the eyes in terms of presentation but also tasted exquisitely fine in flavor and quality.

Only one 'strange' rule: To call in for reservations, you have to purchase at least 2 pieces of cakes which will then be paired with their tea range.

We went on a weekend afternoon about 3pm++ and I can tell you the cafe was almost empty with seats many available. However, come weekend night time and the cafe turned to full house. Guess because it's night time and most customers came in after dinner. My advice thus is to have a reservation for night time. And if you drop by in the afternoon, there is no need to reserve. Well in my opinion. 

Unknowingly we had a reservation in the afternoon and ordered 2 of their Autumn collections last year. Yes autumn, this post came late, apologies.. :)

It was a well-made choice to get 2 pieces because the taste was delicate and the fragrance and lightness just envelopes your taste buds. The cakes were really light, without the extra burden and guilt from cream and sugar overload. Goes on fluffy and soft and left with a tangy floral linger.

The 2 pots of tea that accompanied the cakes are $7.50 each and are refillable.

No GST but comes with service charge.

Montage de Niege $12.80

   

 Vent de Fleur ( Wind Flower) $10.80

Time for a happy tea time! Head to Mad About Sucre for different flavors of the seasons throughout the year.  Relaxing ambiance and fragrant tea accompaniment.

Chicken Roulade $24

 Chicken skin wraps around the meat and is pan fried to golden brown. 

Delish tender chicken marinated accompanied with hazelnut puree and orange braised endive.

Trufle Ravioli $29

Comfort food. Ravioli wrapped with potatoes and parmesan cheese and accompanied with rocket salad. The fragrance of olive oil and creamy cheese sauce envelopes the mouth and tantalizing your taste buds. 

Hot Chocolate " L' Africain". Angelina's signature beverage. $13.

Really thick, gluing hot chocolate. Aromatic chocolate embrace as you savor before it tinkles down your throat. But you know, in Chinese saying, the hot chocolate is quite on the 'heaty' side, so refrain from gulping down too much- though tempting.

Mont-Blanc Celebration in November saw special limited flavors on display. Out of curiosity, we tried out these limited editions.

Mont-Blanc Cassis. $14

Comes with meringue, whipped cream, chestnut and  Blackcurrant cream vermicelli. 

Next, Mont-Blanc Framboise $14

Meringue, light whipped cream with raspberry heart, chestnut cream vermicelli. In conclusion the Mont-Blancs were really overly sweet. Don't be fooled buy its seemingly small size. You can easily share 1 pieces between 3 pax. Perhaps too sweet, we were not able to finish them after some mouthfuls. The taste between the 2 specials ? Almost similar unfortunately. 

Would I be back to have the Mont-Blanc? Maybe not.
Doesn't taste memorable and not worthy of the calories :)

Conclusion: To be honest I was slightly disappointed with the Mont-Blanc, Had never tried Angelina before but was expecting a lot esp from their all-time favorites. Perhaps that's how mont-blancs are but I would prefer other desserts anytime. Personal thoughts.

What about your experience at Angelina Singapore?
