Aerin’s

This was another tea session with Steph a while back. What I really enjoyed here were their desserts. Most especially their warm chocolate pudding and their double chocolate fudge cake. Simply delightful especially when eaten with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Other desserts that are worth trying out here are their vanilla bean creme brulee, pecan pie and baked apple and rhubarb pie. The pecan pie was delicious. The baked apple and rhubarb pie was rather tarty. These desserts were best pared with a pot of Earl Grey. The best thing about Aerin’s is that around 3 pm, you could have a quiet corner to chat with mates whilst enjoying the yummy creations in a really relaxing ambience.

Canele at Raffle’s City

Here’s a cozy place to hang out over cakes and ice cream. First and foremost I adore the cakes here especially the Caraibe a cube of decadent chocolate cake, enveloped by a thick chocolate shell and as you pierce through the outer layer, there’s heavenly honest to goodness the yummiest ganache I’ve tasted inside. Other then the selection of cakes, there’s a selection of handmade chocolates which are to die for and of course their Macarons. Their frangrant rose and sinful chocolate macarons win hands down when compared to Gobi’s miniature selections. Although, Bakerzin’s macaron selection is as delectable and might I dare say surpass Canele’s. Anyways back to what else was there to order during one of our usual tête à tête sessions. We decided to try the Oreo Cheesecake and the pink piece de la resistance: L’amour which was a rose petal ice cream with lychee pieces and dressed with raspberry coulis and rose meringue sticks. Divine!!!

Yoguru

As I was walking around Raffles City a couple of weeks ago, I came upon a new store that was serving up froyo, YUM! I was used to the tubs of frozen peach flavoured yoghurt from YAMI Yoghurt, but this FroYo is so smooth and unique. There are two flavours, the original and the YoguBliss. The YoguBliss is made from dragonfruit and pomegranate, so a large tub of swirl is so yummy. I have it for lunch almost every day, with toppings of granola and peach. It’s so smooth and shiok and its so addictive!
