Sweet Treats

Orchard in the weekend might not be so good idea! We grab this last week and just well enough to update now.😓 Having said that, we are always up for a cup of tea. The victoria sponge cake was not too sweet with nice proper🍓 filling. If any can locate food panda app for M&S, give us a shout and we will go for food delivery instead.

Good donut should have supple and no grainy sugar texture. We enjoy Orh Nee not because it is recommended by the store for non-sweet tooth people 🤪 but because the amount of fillings is just right and not overpowering the main star 🍩
.
For Pandan ondeh ondeh, it is rich & juicy not too much for our liking. The nanyang kopi (with kopi shot) would tempt us to try next time.☕🫖

It might not be everyone’s cup of tea. We have split opinion for this traditional snack. It’s like a little treat once in a while so you still long for it after the last time you tried. 😉

Lured by its multi-color glossy skin & natural ingredients dough, we grab this bun and expect more! The dough is made with red dragon fruit, beetroot, spinach, carrot, purple sweet potatoes. (5 fruits a day we appreciate it! 💪) but the pumpkin walnut filling is so small.
.
We didn’t even notice that there are different feelings (as they put it) or fillings. Maybe you have better luck with char siew, chocolate custard, or salted egg lava but give this 🎃 a pass. 6 buns go for $10 but how to tell them apart as the buns are packed together.

Simply can’t miss this creation since we are fans of Japanese artists Yayoi Kusama. The polka dots design & the pumpkin we are already sold before taking a bite!

The breadstick at the top got broken by cashier but we stick it back and savour this sweet pumpkin bun. 😋

We keep 【Ｍｏｏｎｃａｋｅ】🌝 tradition in a #minimal style (prefer no mooncake box) 🌏& Wallet friendly.🤑
.
The first mooncake we had this year goes to @starbuckssg (not sponsored). We tried 2 flavours:
.
☕️ Starbucks coffee with caramel & hazelnut (Coffee infused mooncake white lotus paste & caramel center with chopped hazelnuts)
🌰 Salted caramel chocolate (caramel center with almond bits)
We have split opinion on these 2 but concur that sweet tooth peeps should go for the first one. The first one got subtle hint of coffee while the latter is nuttier. We still can taste the salted caramel though

Celebrate the fourth Sunday of advent today with these ’oh so sweet’ 6 stollen slices. 😱
Each of them contain sultanas, raisins, glacé cherries wrapped with our most favourite ingredient “marzipan”. They are finished off with rum butter and sugar dusting. 🤩
Throw the scale away and let’s enjoy this festive feast with us! #moretreatsarecoming 🎄

P.S. If you want to get your hands on these sweeties, we bought them from the Marketplace by Cold Storage in Raffles City basement

📣 Good thing must share! Our sweet tooth mode is gearing up for Christmas!🎄 and we are on high alert when there is a good deal in town for sweets. We notice that we can redeem 100 grams of cookies for free on our DBS lifestyle app. We picked the choc chip & macadamia: the flavour that is the best in both worlds. 🌰🍫
The result is a really sweet cookie (some might find it too sweet). We would suggest you to go for Macadamia alone as the cookie base is already sweet. Don’t say we bojio! 💚🐡

Hot afternoon drives us to buy this! 😎☀️ First spoon we get raspberry and we can notice blueberry in the middle. The vanilla ice cream & shortbread soften the sourness of all sorts of berries in a tub. It’s definitely the flavor for fruit lovers. 🍇🍒🍓

For people who love their ice cream not so sweet, this flavour will suit your taste bud. Hojicha (Roasted Japanese tea) has a nice aroma while the sea salt keep the flavour interesting. If you like sweet & creamy, then go for spiced pear instead. 🍵

Got this treat at Jewel before we embark on a trip to BKK. Planned to have coffee at Starbucks but it’s too crowded so we had ice cream at our favourite shop “Bird of paradise” instead. Try 2 new flavours: spiced pear & sea salt hojicha. What a well balanced flavour combination (William pears 🍐 + cinnamon & star anise). Tastes fruity refreshing with some aroma from spices. 👍

Famous for their Muah Chee (local snack made with glutinous rice) as guaranteed by Makansutra prizes. We prefer peanut coated as it is more fragrant, crunchy texture & less sweet) 👌😊
