SUGAR RUSH!

Oooh! It's nice to get back to my lappy! Let's just say I was suffering from a "blogger's block". Embarrassingly, it's also known as LAZINESS! Well, I'm back to normal now. I've actually managed to kick my head hard and get back to my blogging. I mean, what's the point of going to all the wonderful places to eat and painstakingly taking all the shots of the food that I ate and all the while being stared by other people who must be thinking that I'm some kind of a nut job. No, I'm not going to store all the pics at the back of my hard drive and waste all of my efforts! I'm going to BLOG NOW!

Let's begin with:

Geláre

I've always been a big fan of waffles. Give me toasty, crispy waffles any time of the day and I'll gladly have it. So when I chanced upon Geláre on a Tuesday evening and on top of that, they have a 50% off on their waffles on every Tuesday, what's there to think twice?

Regular Waffle with 3 scoops of ice-cream - $12.70

As you can see here, I've chosen three flavours of ice-cream and maple syrup for my toppings. My favourite flavour is of course - MOCHA! Surprisingly, the Swiss Chocolate Caramel is also a winner on my tastebuds. Instead of choosing chocolate sauce, I decided to opt for the maple syrup instead, if not, there would be too much chocolate going on, right? Verdict for the waffle - not as crispy as I had anticipated. Overall, it was good enough to surpass my waffle craving.

Laurent Bernard Chocolatier

When I think of desserts, it's not just in black or white. I often think of them in 4 dimensional! After I'm done with Googling facts about them, I'll picture myself sitting down with a spoonful of whatever I might have in mind on that day. Than, I'll imagine swallowing the dessert and the sensational taste hitting my tastebuds. Sometimes, it seems so real, I thought I AM EATING the dessert! Hahaa...!

And that is why I was so, so, so, esctatic when I finally got to try out at Laurent Bernard's! I was day- dreaming of their desserts for months! Imagine the agony...

Crispy Chocolate Tarte - $6.80

I swear, this is the BEST CHOCOLATE TART that I've ever tasted...haaa...imagine biting into crunchy hazelnut goodness that seems to make you crave for more! Totally addictive! This is definitely one of the "I must haves" on my next visit to LB.

 Waffle - $9.80

As an avid waffle fan, Max Brenner's waffle still hold its title...The chocolate saiuce was great though. Enough said.

Flor Patisserie

Having read so many great reviews and salivating (unconciously most of the time) over Flor's cakes for so long, I've finally reached the pinnacle of my obsession! So, on that particular scorching Saturday, I did a lot of map reading, got in the train, lost my way, took a cab and finally discovered that FP is only about 15-20 minutes walk away from my workplace! When I got there, I was quite surprised that the shop was a bit cramped and the weekend crowd was not helping the situation at all. Nevertheless, nothing could stop me even if I had to shed blood, sweat and tears because it was WORTH IT!

Classic Choco -  $6.20

The Japanese are so creative that they're able to interpret anything form their Western / European counterparts into their own version but with more finesse and creativity and to me, Chef Yamashita from Flor Patisserie is all about that. Take this chocolate cake for example. It has its own uniqueness. I can't put my finger on it but to me, the taste is definitely not the same as any other chocolate cakes I've tasted. It's soft yet moist and unlike any other typical chocolate cakes, I actually didn't feel guilty about having this one because it was so light. 



Berry Berries -  $5.50

Aaahh, imagine sinking your teeth into fresh strawberries+berries accompanied with fresh cream which is so delicious and finally biting into the soft, soft spongey goodness of a cake! No wonder FP is reputed to sell the best strawberry shortcakes in Singapore! Go try it!
