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*

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.

Chocolate Origin

Cake hunting second stop; Chocolate Origin! Dark Chocolate Cake is the recommendation. Please note that some outlets only sell whole cakes.

We visited Chocolate Origin today! Dear is so excited about their Dark Chocolate Cake and dragging me to try it. We headed to the outlet at Bugis. The dining area was small with only eight seats. Furthermore, they only sell a whole cake and not slices of it.

Fortunately, the lava cake was available and we had one each. This, satisfies dear's chocolate and cake craving as well as her desperate "need" for ice cream. Yes! The lava cake has two layers. The top layer is the molten cake with warm chocolate settled in the middle of it. The bottom layer sits their vanilla ice cream.

Do expect this to be a little sweet. I'm not a person with sweet tooth and I do accept this. The ice cream was good - not too creamy, not too milky with a slight vanilla sweet. I love this combination! It's gives me surprise!

Starting, you find yourself with scoops of soft chocolate cake accompanied with warm smudgy chocolate. Slowly you transit to the ice cream portion where you feel the cold ice cream that "tame" the sweetness. Lastly, you find yourself scrapping off the last bit of ice cream.

Do try the lava cake out folks! Hope your enjoy it =)

Cake Spade

Cakes! Dear has a special goal this time round. She wanted to try all the cakes in Singapore. So stay tune for more cake posts.

First stop of cake hunting, Cake Spade. This is recommended by dear. She found quite a number of good reviews on Cake Spade. Thus, here we are trying their cakes.

Cake Spade

We ordered a Brownie Bottom Cheesecake and Peach Tofu Cheese Cake. To me, the Brownie Bottom Cheesecake seems nothing special. As usual, the taste of cheese which is not overpowering and quite smooth. Of course brownie at the bottom of the cake.

However, the Peach Tofu Cheese Cake blows me away. The top layer seems like peach jelly and is not overly sweet. The prime part would be the "Tofu Cheese". "Tofu" is a really a good word to use for this cake. It is indeed well blended and super smooth like "Tofu". I would definitely recommend this cake!

This place is right outside Tajong Pagar MRT Station. Take Exit A and walk towards Orchid Hotel. It is just behind Orchid Hotel. Do try it folks =)

More FOOD...

I'm not really a "food" person. Don't be mistaken. I love good food and I'm particular about the taste of the food (in fact quite particular about it) but not how they made and what their names are. So forgive me if I get the names/ingredients totally wrong.

Passion fruit/Mango cake??

Water chestnut mousse??

Colorful macaroons

Pu'er tea

Random shot

If you happen to drop by Georgetown, head over to Ete Cafe and try it.
