Chalk Farm (Parkway Parade)

Great that it’s not so sweet but I prefer the original

Chalk Farm is famous for their gorgeous (and expensive) cakes, but this sponge cake literally takes take the cake when it comes to price. What you get in an admittedly generous slice, is a moist, fluffy sponge cake stained through with sweetness of jammy raspberry and an undertone of pleasing bitterness from the Campari. The cream frosting is indulgent yet light, and the garnish of forest berries and rosemary sprigs add a layer of freshness that's quite welcome.

Taste: 3.5/5

This is their chocolate cake. The pic looks ugly because I kept this cake overnight and dug it out to take a pic. But I gotta admit this cake is good. Even though it has been kept overnight, it's still so moist and rich. Really a treat but do be aware that is oily. Do share it with another person.

[backlog] The festive season celebrations at home happen to be a concurrent cake galore for my family. I mean 5 cakes in a span of less than a week is no small feat?

2 of which happened on the same day and were local flavours, Ondeh Ondeh and Durian Pengat ordered from the Malayan Council.

On another day mum got a massive salted Carmel red velvet from a trusted cake company we’ve familiarised ourselves with, post moving to the East. Chalk Farm did not disappoint with the dense red velvet sponge dyed in deep red beetroot colouring; layered with thick salted caramel cream, a great pairing in my opinion.

May the new year be of better food experience and delicious cake slices on treatyoself days✨

The most expensive Kueh Salat we have ever had, but along with its price tag came a level of finesse. While there were parts of the sticky rice that were uncooked, it was mostly cooked perfectly, soft yet retaining a level of chewiness and bite. The star of the show was the custard though: it was smooth, the coconut milk tasted extremely fresh, and the pandan super fragrant. Worth a try for sure if you’re a nyonya kueh fan, for a more sophisticated and elegant version of this dish.

Can Order👍

Not the first time here, it is as if chalk farm desserts are imbue with an assurance of taste & quality. We loved the softer than usual kueh with fresh ingredient i.e. grated coconut, no preservative etc- for a premium but worth it premium 🙃

P.S: pardon the “touched” Lapis
