Patisserie G at Millenia Walk: Stunning Cakes

Posted on October 9, 2022 by bookjunkie

I didn’t have any cake but they were stunning to look at. The flat white I had was great, my partner found his latte too ‘heaty’ (acidic?). He can’t take stronger coffee like I can. The Cuban sandwich was nothing … Continue reading →

Liang Court: Tea at Dulcet & Studio Again

Posted on January 10, 2013 by bookjunkie

Think I’ll soon be a regular here. Love the cream puffs and it also happens to be their most popular item. The rose marble cake looked pretty but I found it too strong in terms of flavour. It was like … Continue reading →

I find the Food Basement at Takashimaya so interesting. Can’t compare to what there is in Japan but it’s still pretty amazing. There is always something new to see and this time we stumbled upon a Hokkaido food fair with … Continue reading →

Tea Cosy at Plaza Singapura

Posted on January 19, 2012 by bookjunkie

We had the set which cost just S$30 for two people.  The portions were very little but it was enough for us.  I guess petite is good when you don’t want to get too full. Even though the quality of … Continue reading →

Afternoon Tea at Four Seasons

Posted on November 14, 2011 by bookjunkie

I could not find any reviews of the afternoon tea at the Four Seasons. Even more reason to blog about it and share what I thought of it. Perhaps the lack of reviews should have been a sign. The place … Continue reading →

Posted on October 15, 2011 by bookjunkie

Wimbly Lu.  Sounds like a character from a Roald Dahl book, but it’s actually a combination of the owners’ names. Yet another gem of a place, recently discovered, all because of my favourite 2 dollar local magazine, 8 Days. It’s … Continue reading →
