Yummiest Desserts

Have you read the Sunday Times 2 or 3 weeks ago when they introduce the 50 yummiest cakes? Desserts are my favourite but i have cut down a lot cos i can hardly find the right kakis to share the "sins" with me...my husband will only touch a fifth of the dessert if i go with him, so i will end up having all the fats.

I have personally tried at least half of those yummiest cakes...the chocolate cakes are simply my favourite...especially the one from Jane Cake Station. However, it has been at least 2 years since i ate their cake as it's a bit inconvenient for me. Where is the most sinful chocolate cake i have come across? The seven layer chocolate cake at Seah Street Deli. This is not featured in the article. Perhaps you won't want to eat chocolate anymore after you have that..haha!

I just went to Pine Gardens today. I have seen articles on their creative cakes, like the lychee martini, and also their popular blackforest cake and chiffon cake, so i decided to have those. The lychee martini cake is refreshing cos of the lychees but there is not much of the vodka or martini liquor in it. The blackforest cake is good as the cherry has been soaked in kirsh or some other cherry liquor. I hate those that just use those cherry soaked in plain syrup. I always believe in QUALITY!

I have yet tried the chiffon cake as i decide to share with my colleagues tomorrow...will definitely give an update in my next entry.

I love dessert and also try to make my own, but i am lazy, just like when it comes to updating my blog. Problem with making my own dessert is that i don't like to eat them, no matter how good they are...i only sample them to make sure they are good...haha!

I just made the tiramisu recently. I have not made since a few months ago...that is the only dessert that i made most often as you don't need an oven at all. I'm just wondering now what dessert i am going to make next.

Gentlemen

I think it's really difficult to find a gentleman in Singapore nowadays...
1) never offer to hold the door for a lady; worse, it just smack right in front of a lady's face;
2) never let the ladies out of the lift first
3) snatch seats with ladies on the MRT or buses.

These are just some examples. I think i can just experience a few a day. Maybe the ladies are just too used to such men's behaviour in Singapore! Are we going to be the less graceful lady who may need to snatch seats with man or are we going to be the nasty ladies who will just tell the man off when his action is really unreasonable?

My sis was just telling me how these a man (together with his male partner) snatched her carpark lot a few days ago when there were a lot of other cars around waiting for carpark lots. She had to approach the 2 men to tell them how ungentlemanly, unreasonable, etc. they were. Even though they knew they had snatched a lady's rightful carpark lot, they did not even say sorry or move out of the lot utimately.

Guess what my sis had done. Open their car door, told them off and then banged their car door. Guess what i would have done if i were my sis? I would use my lipstick and paint words on their windscreen to make everyone know how bad the car driver was. Never offend me or you will just get it from me! I believe in teaching them such lessons.

Hate the morning crowd

I hate to take the MRT at around 8am...it's just too many people. Can you imagine sometimes i can't even board the MRT even though i am at Bedok? Even if i did, i hate the following kinds of people:
1) those who like to cross leg - when there are already so many people standing around, can't these people be more considerate?
2) those who like to swing their long hair around when there are people standing so close behind you...simply irritating!
3) those who just simply refused to move into the middle of the cabin...can you imagine if you are the ones who can't get on the MRT?

Why can't people be more considerate when taking the public transport especially during the peak periods?

I do wish i can leave home just 15 mins earlier every morning because the MRT will be slightly less crowded but it means i will be losing 15 mins of my beauty sleep.

Activities and more activities

I try my best not to touch the computer when i get home...that explains why i seldom blog nowadays. Moreover, too many activities to keep me occupied.

First, just returned from Taipei two weeks ago. I shall post some photos shortly.
Second, went to apply for the HDB flat...got queue no. that is 5000+. Over 10,000 applicants but only 350 houses available.
Third, fell ill last week.
Fourth, went to try on bridal gown.
Fifth, going to see resale flats...faint...most places asking for so much cash on top of valuation.

More things coming up...preparation for wedding, looking for house, etc...so that's pretty much going to keep me occupied for the next five months.

Carrot Cake

I went to the Project Shop Cafe at Paragon yesterday. This was my first time there and after running through the menu, i decided to order a slice of carrot cake (which was one of my favourite dessert). The prices of their cakes were not shown on the menu but i thought it would cost at most S$7. To my surprise, it reflected $8.80 on my bill. I have never eaten a slice of carrot cake which cost so much. It does taste good but i don't think it warrants me to pay $10 (after service charge and GST) for just a slice. Perhaps it's telling me that it's time for me to bake my own carrot cake =D

I love the cinnamon taste and the lemon cheese frosting on the carrot cake. I guess i am just a cinnamon lover. I love cinnamon buns but it's difficult to find those soft cinnamon buns nowadays. I can only get them from Simply Bread, one of my favourite bakery. I remember there used to be a shop at Parco Bugis and Great World City which sells soft cinnamon buns but both have closed down already.

Meeting up sessions

I have been meeting up with friends at least once a week since i return from UK. Meeting up for me means not only catching up with friends but also gaining extra calories. We tend to go for dessert / drink even after a heavy meal. I think i am reaching a point whereby i just want to eat simple food like mixed vegetables and rice.

Yuppy! No more meeting up sessions for me till end of this month. It's time now for me to "cleanse my digestive system".=D

Sentosa

I think it has been almost a year and a half since i have last been to Sentosa. It has indeed changed quite a bit. I was quite impressed by the Siloso Beach Resort. It is really beautiful inside, especially the waterfall, the pool and the seaside scenery.
