Got to learn about the opening of the new Little Lady Bakes that had recently opened in the basement of Havelock II whilst passing by the shopping gallery fairly recently; the basement of Havelock II does seem to be bustling with eateries especially with the opening of the outlet of Golden Mile Thien Kee Steamboat Hainanese Restaurant there — we did catch other new establishments such as the likes of Simmering Bowl and Stylo Soup 尚汤饭 that had also set up shop there in recent times. Little Lady Bakes takes up a kiosk space that is primarily meant for takeaway operations — there is no dedicated dine-in area for its patrons but there are a few benches located throughout the entire shopping gallery across various levels should one prefer to consume their purchased bakes on the spot. All bakes available for the day are prominently displayed at the counter here — the menu is being split into sections dedicated to Bundt Cakes, Financiers, Brownies, Madelines and Cookie Box.
There were quite a number of variations of Financiers being offered at Little Lady Bakes when we made our visit on a weekday afternoon; one of the variations of financiers that caught our attention whilst skimming through what was available in the display case would be the Teh Gao Cashew Financier — this would also be one of the few items offered by Little Lady Bakes that does consist of an infusion of a local element within the bake itself. Going for the Teh Gao Cashew Financier, we did notice that the Financier does come a little bit more crumbly given the use of crushed cashews here, though the Financier does still come with a slightly crusty exterior and a firm bite within. The insides of the Financier is still reasonably buttery and moist, though it definitely perfumed of a milk tea-esque fragrance that was pretty evident from the first bite — definitely one in which the aroma of black tea could be felt, and is something that would be a hit especially with tea lovers out there!
