Fruit Paradise's Nutty Caramel and Chocolate Strawberry

This time I had 2 desserts. Got them both from the Vivocity outlet. From the looks of it, they looked very delicious. So many slices of fruits and so visually striking! I picked these two as I like strawberry, chocolate, nuts and caramel(their individual names bears the things I like). Even the box looks nice.

Got them both and brought them home to share with my mum and younger sis. My aunt was also around when I got home so I let them tried out after I took photos of it. After looking at the photos, I think I should have just snapped them normally on some table with some light and not on the rear of a poster.

My mum's first response to both cakes were that they had too much cream. Same goes for my aunt. My sis liked them both. My thoughts were already influenced to my mum's response but I told myself that I had to give my own personal opinion.

I like the Nutty Caramel better as it had more ingredients as the nuts made it taste as it had more texture. The Chocolate Strawberry was good but the strawberry wasn't as sweet as I had expected(my mum bought strawberry a few days ago and it tasted sweet like sugar). I had to agree with my mum and aunt as there was too much cream on both cakes. The proportion of cake, cream and fruits for these 2 looked similar when you look at it.

My mum, my aunt and myself ate about half of each cake before we left the remainder of the cake for my sis to indulge. I was quite disappointed actually. It's not cheap too though. I'd rather have MaCafe's cheesecake over these two.

I take this experience in my project as a way learning new stuff. I've liked most of the desserts I've tried and it had been a wonderful journey. Fans of Fruit Paradise, it's just not plate of dessert. But it's the visually creatively and colorful desserts I've seen so far.

Strictly Pancakes What-A-Spread!

Pancakes! I like pancakes! I think pancakes are some of the best things to eat in life. You can eat in so many variety! I love the McDonald's one a lot. They're so soft and delicious! Especially when I have them with the maple syrup and butter. I find this combo as my favourite.

I was recommended by a friend to come to Strictly Pancakes for my dessert project. I figured pancakes would be a nice dessert, but after some thought it is not a dessert. But I decided to go anyway as I already planned to have it.

It's about 5-10mins away from Dhoby Ghaut MRT station which is very convenient compared to Rider's Cafe. It's not what I had expected when I saw the shop. I thought that it would be in a mall but instead, it's like those shop houses that are divided into 2. Small but it looked chic! Love the look!

A quick tip; call to reserve. There were no seats available inside when I got there. Thankfully, there were seats available outside. It wasn't so cozy outside as they used metallic tables and chairs you find most often when you dine outside a cafe which I find don't fancy but it's better than to wait when you're already hungry. I had What-A-Spread! from the Sweet menu. They have a few other dishes which I would like to try when I drop by again in the future.

What I got for my order was 3 pancakes, smeared with custard, 2 Kinder Bueno and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. In between the pancakes were nutella spread. Yummy! But the menu also included peanut butter. There was no sight of any peanut butter. Didn't matter much to me so I started eating it. Then I realised where the peanut butter was after I had my first bite. It was inside the pancake! I was surprised! I never thought that you could put any fillings inside. This is one experience I'll never forget.

Service was good. There were only 3(not including cooks) of them serving the other 40 plus people that were dining there. They were very efficient at what they were doing even though there were a lot of customers to handle. Hats of to them for being hardworking and still keep their composure.

It was definitely a main course instead of a dessert. Three pancakes is all I need to keep stomach full. With the help of some chocolate, peanut butter and water of course. I really enjoyed eating the pancakes and would definitely want to try their plain ones with maple and butter. I would definitely recommend anyone who want's something different as their main course. Do a reservation. It'll help.

Starbucks Chocolate Cake Fudge

Back to chocolate. I suppose my perception for desserts are chocolatey stuff. Or maybe I just like chocolates that's all. Bought this at Starbucks Sentosa. If you're a Sentosa staff or have friends who do, you can get food and beverages at 10% off. It might not be much but at least it's cheaper.

It's not all chocolate, the middle layer is coffee cream. When you take a bite from it you would taste a mix of chocolate and coffee, like a mocha. Chocolate lovers would like this if you don't mind the taste of coffee. Texture is nice. It's not that big of a portion really but it's sufficient if you had your dinner before this. It's quite compact thus making it fill up your stomach quite fast.

I would say that this is a nice dessert accompanied by iced coffee. Sharing this dessert with a friend is a good option as the flavors can be quite thick for some people. Like most people say, sharing is caring.

McCafe Cheesecake

I know McDonald's have great Extra Value Meals but how would this cheesecake taste? I forgot how much it costs but it's less that SGD$7. Much expensive compared to the previous 2. I was back in Singapore on Monday. I was quite sad that I did not get myself a dessert on Sunday, which was on the way back to Singapore. I totally forgot about it and by the time I got home, super tired. But I decided not to give up! I'll most probably consume more dessert in the 30 days so it's alright.

It's just an ordinary cheesecake really. Nice big cheesy portion and the tiny crust at the bottom. However, it taste delicious! There's a hint of lemon that actually goes well with the flavor. I like it very much. I don't remember the last time I had cheesecake but I can easily recommend this one if someone wants to buy a cheesecake.

I'd have this without 2nd thoughts if this was the last dessert that McCafe outlet has. Their cinnamon melts are delicious too in my humble opinion. The cheesecake goes well with hot coffee or tea with less sugar. Simple yet delicious. Try it out when you're at McCafe.

Pecan Butterscotch

This is a treat for you sweet tooth's out there. This is the Pecan Butterscotch from Secret Recipe Kuala Lumpur. It's RM6.80 which is really cheap when you convert to SGD. It's just layers of cake, a mix of butterscotch and pecan.

I bought this cake brought it back to the hotel as we already quite tired from walking and I didn't go and find any desserts until we were heading back. The cake is covered with butterscotch icing which is nice and sweet. I love the butterscotch taste. Yum! There's not much to say about this cake really. It's simply sweet and delicious.

It's a good choice when you are having a tea time in the late afternoon or anytime you wish to have it at and this goes well with a hot beverage. It's quite a big slice if you have seen Secret Recipe's cakes. I'd have another slice when I find one again.

Starbucks Chocolate Tuxedo

This is from Starbucks Kuala Lumpur. I was there last weekend for a short getaway. This is the 5th dessert for the project. It costs RM9.50 which is cheap if you convert it to SGD.

I pick this as it was the last piece displayed. That would mean that it would have been the tastiest amongst the other cakes that were on displayed right? It turned out to be quite good. It's layered with chocolate, cream, chocolate cream, cake and the crust at the bottom. A nice mix. You'll taste a nice mix chocolate and vanilla in one mouthful. Chocolate lovers would like this.

This dessert definitely goes well when you're chilling out with your friends at Starbucks in KL. I'm not sure if the Singapore outlets carry this dessert but you should try it out. It taste as good as it looks.

Delays

Sorry you guys! I was suppose to upload a dessert a day but it seems impossible to do so! I end work so late at times that I just want to sleep. By the time I wake up, it's like it's time to leave for work!

I'll update soon ya! Love you guys!
