my cafe wishlist

Enjoy all-day brunch fare, hearty mains and gorgeous desserts with your best friends amidst tranquility at this riverside cafe by Punggol Waterway. Whisk & Paddle offers unobstructed views of the resevoir with good food and drink to boot -- a much-needed respite at any time of day. For brunch, dig into comforting dishes like Eggs Ben with Smoked Salmon on Waffles, or a warm pan of Mac and Cheese. For a sweet treat, choose from their range of desserts in their display, and sit back with a cuppa to enjoy the view. If you can't decide, opt for the Berries Rose Tart, or the humble Earl Grey Lavender Loaf. By night, wind down and swop out the desserts and coffee for bar bites and ice cold beer!

Now where can I get one like this? 😍 •
What's left were the desserts the other day as the one of the equipment in their kitchen broke down. Thus they stop taking orders an hour earlier from the supposed last order for the savoury food. But was later offered to tag along with the table beside us (who came in later) to order from a selected items on the menu. How appropriate 😏

My eyes widened when I saw the word dark chocolate because of the many benefits such as high level of antioxidants and improving blood circulation. First bite and I was a little disappointed because it's slightly sweeter than I imagined. The texture is good and refined but I will prefer it to have a more bitter cocoa taste.

Buttery shortcrust and a delectable almond base perfectly complement the luscious topping of every tart. The lemon meringue is incredibly light, fluffy and fragrant, and hidden beneath it is a wonderfully balanced tangy lemon curd. The chocolate tart is velvety smooth and equally satisfying. Imo superior in every way to the overrated Tiong Bahru Bakery, at half the price!

Chocolate Hazelnut Tart of the day! One of the best chocolate tart, I ever eaten in my life! The roasted hazelnuts are so crunchy and fragrant! The chocolate fudge filling is so soft and smooth, that it melts instantly in your mouth!

Located at the 2nd storey of an old building, a small brightly lit patisserie serves up this well-known chef-patisser's exquisite Japanese-French style creations. His latest invention, the Luna Wrap, has the fluffiest sponge cake (similar to a pancake) filled with lightly whipped flavoured cream. I tried the matcha one, which also includes a layer of azuki cream and chestnuts on top. Also, I tried the Mount Fuji, which has the moistest chocolate cake, layered with super light chestnut cream, chestnuts and a thin layer of rough puff pastry (slightly salted), resulting in this winning combination. What stood out about his delectable cakes is that they're aren't too sweet, which made devouring 2 cakes all by myself less guilty. 😂 I'll be back for more.

Hummingbird cake (banana/pineapple/coconut) was so moist, dense and I probably can't finish it on my own. Strawberry tofu cheesecake was good as usual! Both cakes are $5.90 each.

Visited this newly open Japanese & Korean theme cafe today and was super impress by their absolutely pretty decors such as their white chairs and fences. This sweet potato latte was recommended by the barista and its not too sweet yet delicious and creamy at the same time. Yum!

Two cuppa in a night is no joke; caffeine overdosed.
