The G Spot

Saw numerous good reviews of Lady M so I decided to try it out. However, it was closed for cleaning when I got there.

Not my day! Met a couple of people there too. All of us were disappointed that Lady M was not open. I spent sometime googling the next cafe around that location. That brings me to Patisserie G at Millenia Walk.

The G Spot

After asking for a recommendation, I chose The G Spot; Dark chocolate mousse with chocolate meringue, sits on a chocolate hazelnut praline crunch. It's chocolate and as expected it's sweet!

Lady M closed

Thank god they have free flow of 'sky juice' (plain water). So, I sat at a corner enjoying the cake and my book. That's how I spent one of my Sundays before the start of the next working week.

Chocolate Origin

Finally, I have a taste of Chocolate Origin's dark chocolate cake. Only the brach at Kallang Wave Mall sells slices while others sell a whole cake.

I was kinda disappointed when I had this cake. It didn't surprise me that much. The cake tasted sweet and less of bitter. I couldn't really taste the richness of the dark chocolate. Maybe this isn't my kind of cake =|

On the other hand, I super like their lava cake. Look at this cup of goodness! Flowing warm chocolate with cold ice cream at the bottom *thumbs up*

Lava cake

Do try it out folks! The price might a a little steep. Each lava cake cost $5 and a slice of cake cost $8.50.

d' Good Café

Cake hunting on a Saturday leads us to d' Good Café. This cafe is 3 floors high and has a relaxing atmosphere.

d' Good Café is located near the circle line exit of Holland Village. The entrances of the cafe looks misleading. It's just a narrow door with d' Good Café logo printed on it. The door swings open with a flight of stairs in front.

The counter is located on the 2nd floor. There's also a dining area at this level. On the 3rd floor, there is a balcony with great scenery of Holland Village. Note that it is not air conditioned. Next to it is a more causal dining area where you can enjoy the desserts as well as play board and card games.

I tried their Maple Salt Cheesecake and I'm so in love with it! I love the taste of mild cheese with the great taste of maple in it. There's a little touch of saltness which heightens the flavor. The only down side is that each slice cost $9! This is kinda ex.

The waffle on the other hand was not bad either. It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and served hot. The best part is the aroma of the waffle. There are 3 choices of syrup to go with the waffle - Chocolate, maple or strawberry.

Do try out the Maple sea salt cheesecake while you're in Holland Village folks.

Getaway in Penang - Moustache Houze

What's better than relaxing at a cafe with a cup of coffee and delicious cakes?

Cafe hunting in Penang leads us to Moustache Houze. It's one of the popular cafes there in Penang. We combed through a number of streets before reaching Moustache Houze. We were welcome by the "moustache" outside the cafe.

Moustache Houze

Moustache Houze creates a reto and rustic atmosphere. The interior is lit warmly by yellow halogen lamps. The windows are tinted pale green and orange which creates contrast. A huge sign post bearing their shop logo together with some other vintage props are used to decorate the cafe.

Decorations

There is a wide range of cakes and coffee. Here are some of the cakes we had. A green tea cake which tasted super rich, a chocolate cake and banana walnut cake? (couldn't recall). Anyways, the cakes are not too bad. Most importantly is the price! (much much cheaper than in Singapore)

Old bookstore

I love the painting of the father carrying his son on their wall. The depth the painting brings out is amazing; the shadows, highlights and the father's hair. I did a black and white conversion and tweak the photo a little.

Do try out Moustache Houze while you're touring Penang folks! Good Night.
