What are the chances of seeing a muffin shop with two units at a hawker centre? They have matcha muffins, Almond Walnut, Double Chocolate to name a few. Aunty told me to call in advance for bulk orders so they can reserve. Your muffins get packed in a nice box if you buy 6pcs. Prices are around $1.60 per muffin.
Surprised to see this stall run by a young hawkerpreneur alone. One man show no kidding! I’ve visited some young hawkerpreneur stalls in the past and the stall ends up being tended by their parents/someone old. Jiaming (or Ming for short) graduated from Sunrice Academy in SG. Most of the item are priced at $5. He does pork rib noodle as well if you’re allergic to seafood.
Best of the 3 desserts that I ate! The base of the crust was stuck to the packaging (same for the ispahan dessert) and for some reason that annoyed me greatly. The tart is topped off with cream and cocoa dust. In the middle lies a sinful layer of chocolate Nutella.
This reminds me of Pierre Herme right down to the rose petal on top! Sandwiched between 2 slices of macaroons are raspberry, cream, tiny bits of lychee and rose water gel. I did not like this very much because it was too sweet and it felt like more than 50% of this dessert is made up of sugar. Not sure how much because my friend paid + no price listed.
All cupcakes are priced at $6 each before taxes. Errr maybe it’s me but I thought that was really pricey. The unicorn cupcake is actually a twist of their red velvet cupcake. Very mild red velvet tase and not distinct. They have a larger version of the unicorn cake at $28. Ice water is not served, only bottled water.
Made reservations for The Drawing Room, but the staff seemed to have lost our reservation (??) There was no space for our party of 7. Ok never mind. We were offered an alternative, Astor Bar, by another waitress. Turns out the bar is not open yet at 1145 in the morning and we were left outside waiting. Ok never mind. We shifted to Brasserie Les Saveurs instead. Third waitress came to take our order but did not offer us menus. Instead, she rattled off the type of teas/drinks they had. I was flabbergasted. It was an important gathering and we had to keep shifting locations which was not cool. This is St Regis, not Hotel 81 or some boutique hotel undergoing teething problems.
Seasonal item! Only available for 2 weeks starting end September. Went on a weekend afternoon and there were like 5-6 people in the queue before me. Everyone was queueing for the Busan fishcakes at the stall beside. My fav way of eating the tart is when it’s freshly bought. Watch out for the honey dribbling out as you bite into the crust.
Another one of their specialty items. Like Mr Lich’s flaming brew, the menu does not state the ingredients. They’re both labeled as “the platform’s secret recipe”. Our waitress recommended this. It’s supposed to be a replica of butter beer. While I’ve never had butter beer before, this tasted very much like ice cream soda with foam and candy sprinkles on top.
I thought Lupicia was a person. It’s actually a tea brand from Japan. Behind the fancy name lies a chocolate cake bordered with brown popping candy bits. I don’t quite fancy chocolate cake but this was SO GOOD it makes you (or me in this case) crave for more?! It tastes better than it looks!
Here because my BFF is a Harry Potter fan. We ordered a bunch of their specialties to share. Their most IG worthy drink/dessert is the flaming brew which consists of rum and a bunch of other stuff which I forgot. The drink sparkles when you sprinkle cinnamon powder on it. I like neither alcohol nor cinnamon and am guilty of ordering it because of the ‘gram.
Throwback photo I found in my phone from the time they were giving away Cheese Melon bubble tea. I thought the melon tasted rather icky (I love the fruit tho) but the cheese foam was my favorite part of the drink!
