One of my favorite cocktails to start with, this bittersweet concoction of champagne, fresh berries, grapefruit, basil and peach bitters is a medley of fruity flavors with a short finish. The usual dryness of champagne doesn't exist here, thanks to Head Bartender, Ricky Paiva's clever addition of what we refer to as "a little happiness". If you really must know, the name's St. George absinthe. Be warned, this discreetly potent cocktail is more than meets the eye. Expect fun times ahead.
Happy Mother's Day to all and it's still not too late to give your mum a treat to celebrate this occasion. One of the food stops with Mum yesterday was to try the Lemon Calamansi Tart ($6.50) from Tiong Bahru Bakery. The lemon calamansi curd is sour and appetizing, great for a tea time snack or after-meal dessert. The pastry crust was buttery and fragrant but a tad too hard and almost impossible to cut through with a fork. We had to remove the top layer and cut it separately so that we can have an equal portion of curd and pastry.
With chefs who were culinary trained in Le Cordon Bleu, it's no wonder that they serve excellent pastries and desserts. Try their Key Lime Tart ($7.80) and you will know why this is one of my favourite dessert spots and one that I always rave about. The taste and texture were all spot on with the right sourness from the key lime and tartness from the crust. May the 4th (Force) be with You.
Okay. Not very value for money in my opinion.
It's shaped to look like a mushroom but it's actually just mushroom bun. So yeah normal bao texture, with mushrooms/ veg inside. Tastes pretty normal. #burpple
Lemon tart. A tangy citrusy smooth curd with crumbly shell and slight buttery fragrance. Doesn't it look like PacMan?
all tarts go for $5 each during closing hours! we tried the saffron poached pear tart, rum & eve tart, banana chocolate silk tart
Macadamia tart. Post lunch sweets. #dessert #noelw #sweet
