Valentines special- Pink PM Tea@Chihuly Lounge

Sunday, February 14   keyboard  


Sunny


This year, someone invited me to stay at Ritz Carlton, an experience with the trademark octagonal windows(, just nice the 15 days of chinese new year weren't over), soaking in the auspicious factor and its lounges. Instead, we went for Pink Afternoon Tea Buffet at Chihuly Lounge. Pink-themed pastries, pink-themed desserts and pink-themed sandwiches with your loved one(s), under the dome-shaped Ritz Carlton lounge. 



Pink roses, to replace the daises used in the ongoing spring-themed season buffet. And Moët & Champon Grand Vintage Rosé 2006 poured exclusively for Valentine's Day.





Pink Afternoon Tea Buffet (SGD 58.00)

A mash of oriental and western, Potato Curry Turnover, Salmon Confit, Tofu and Sesame Tofu Dressing, Baked Slice Beef and White Asparagus. It was the first time I had white asparagus and the beef was more tender than it appeared.

Steamed Scallop Siew Mai and Salted Egg, the prized collection on top was salted egg, Bake Spicy Eringi Mushroom and Oriental Pesto Sauce. Chicken puff served in a glass pastry with aburi cheese, jam, cress. Slow Cooked Egg, Truffle Jus and Chive in a ceramic bowl. Egg as cold and bewildering as the truffle jus. 



Suddenly the staff started wheeling a trolley of cakes, which looked sold at Colony, opposite, too. I caught a few of them- Lychee Tart, Lychee Mousse, Rose Pain de Gene (alcohol) and Elderflower Jelly, Red Velvet, Cream Cheese and Berries Compote, and cheesecake. 



Such service of pushing a cake counter was unexpected for the price, and on Valentine's Day.



Pink-themed Goose Liver Parfait, Port Wine Cherry and Cress was barely touched by me, I can only say tastes change, and Baked Honey Glazed Stuff Chicken. Finger sandwiches were Graviax Salmon, Lettuce Salad and Almond Ring, Egg Salad, Miso Mayonnaise and Seaweed Roll, Beef Pastrami, Celery Salad and Mini Croissant.  



Box of chocolates and Ritz Carlton's rose for every diner on the table, Happy Valentine's Day.  



Gold foil and pomegranate shortcake that focused on lightness and natural sweetness. 



Sakura toast with honey, and vanilla ice cream poured over the berries compote, a bold and tangy customised dessert.  



Hediard jams, strawberry, and orange to go with clotted cream and plain scone.



Heart-shaped balloons, and not red lanterns filled up the lounge for an eerie, sexy atmosphere. Later, did I found out that the Pink Afternoon Tea Buffet modelled after Chihuly Lounge's tea-themed spring afternoon tea buffet, only with the tea flavoured desserts swapped for a three-tiered dessert stand. At least I got my two stalks of roses, two Valentine's Day balloons, a box of Ritz Carlton's chocolates home. 

 P.S. Checking into Ritz Carlton later? The complimentary chocolates dark chocolate, Brandy white, and champagne lavender chocolates would be good to rev up the spirit.

True cafe, not? Pink eggs benedict@ Rise & Grind

Sunday, January 3   keyboard  


Sunny

White meat eaters, pescetarian, and seafood lovers rejoice. Twin protein powers, eggs from the quality sources, chicken (egg), and fish (salmon roe). 

At the top of the craggy hill (Bukit Timah Hill) (mound on top of the hill) (Bukit Timah Plaza in Bukit Timah Road), a whitewashed container classroom beside the Korean bingsu cafe, in the lukewarm slowly heating things up Bukit Timah belt of Downtown Line 2, it was an authentic cafe experience. Upside down rail pails and vintage cups were found in the cafe.



Avo-ka-dukkah (SGD 15.00)

 The star fruit of the cafe, vegetarian eggs benedict. Eggs benny sauce that is green in colour? An avocado jam that is tarty, saltish, with yoghurt tones.


Oceans's Thirteen (SGD 17.00)

Another (pink)highlight of Rise & Grind, pink eggs benedict. Hollandaise sauce made from beetroot and yoghurt. Your rustic eggs ben toast does not run dry, soak it in the runny egg yolk, pink beets sauce, yuzu hollandaise sauce or skinny sans sauce.



Operated by locals, the minimally designed Rise & Grind menu was a mouthful to read. Many herbs and zests of nature, light on the stomach way of cooking, such as dukkah (superfoods around, ?eastern garlic) on the round poached eggs (of the green eggs benedict), haloumi cheese, grilled (on the green eggs benedict), and chives and cracked pepper (on the pink eggs benedict).  

P.S. There were other proteins of the sphere yet to be explored. Hei Amigo (chorizo), The Italian Job (prosciutto), it would count for another trip.

G(red) velvety taste- from MK Levure Naturelle

Thursday, July 17   keyboard  


Sunny

 MK Levure Naturelle is churning bread. Not cakes red velvet cake. It has been quite a family. Cake, hot cocoa, doughnut, crepe. Now (what), MK's toast loaves are buy a pair at stunted price, try one in red velvet(?).

Red Velvet (SGD 2.80)

The deepened, seasoned red is what is seen and tastes or you knows of red velvet. A ginger surprise is cheese inside, the less matured creamy, European asian selection.

P.S. The favourite sakura. The flower which can be made into mochi, bread, cheesecake, onigiri, pastries. Red velvet which can be made into ice cream batter, bread, biscuit, waffle, beverage. No one else has been it colour which has been transformed into a flavour.

Ichigos makes sweet & sour fish@ Mr.Obanyaki

Monday, July 7   keyboard  


Cloudy

Number 36 (Japanese foods we can't live without out of 45) the fish. 


Strawberry (SGD 1.80)

Seasonally, like Japan streets proper, where it(taiyaki) comes in traditional flavours. The ichigo?



That is not mochi inside. Rather, like strawberry milk sundae or yogurt & fruit Campino candies it is white chocolate softened to go with the strawberry waffle. The American shack way like hungry, yaki hunger.
P.S. Where buttermilk goes entrepreneurially with squid ink, hot cake red velvet or even biscuit and scones milk and butter, this chewy thinned out version is no weakling, strawberry spikes the waffle akin soda besides colour. One just feel like casting the net wide and fetching more home to say see the lively fishes, the Obanyaki serves fish Japanese style where it not only specializes in one thing.

Toast that ties-flower-next-door@Ya Kun Toastwich

Saturday, May 31   keyboard  


Fine

 We want ♥ it. The Horlicks frostyz, mocha frostyz, coffee frostyz, green tea frostyz (with red beans). Over The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf or Starbucks on another day. Somehow, only Milo frostyz was not tried before. Or tea frostyz.   

They are premium ice-blends full on the powder, to a coffee connoisseur as a frappe alternative in the coffee culture. Ya Kun spreads the local even more with a Toastwich or every store, supplying curry potato, rendang chicken, laska, mee rebus and bites.



Bandung Frostyz (with whipped cream) (SGD 5.20)

 It is a flavourful and powerful ice-blend with rich whipped cream, like buttercream and familiar bandung (evaporated) milky rose syrup drink. The chunky red beans are said to be fresh.

 P.S. The ♥-friendly kaya pistachio cookies, kaya balls, steamed bread, you know we'd like to try them next time.

Chew on this- TNCC's Smoothie Chews

Wednesday, April 2   keyboard  


Sunny

 Just imagine the less glitzy, kamikaze of Hi-Chew. Similar blow glass centerpieces, with their molten inner cores of purple (lychee) or red (strawberry). It is but green, with a pink center for this. Smoothie Chews of The Natural Confectionery Company, and there are two fruits in a sweet. 



Smoothie Chews (SGD FOC?)

 On the other side is If you could be a singer or musician who would it be? Well, drawing? Depends on what is your definition of special. Penguin, me, there is no song, thought I told you already.... Get together with some unwrapping.

 P.S. The average dollar coin mint for your thoughts. Smoothie Chews makes no time unutilized, you can think about your life while you are chewing.

(?)fishy pink- Canada's Goldfishes Vanila Cupcake

Sunday, March 2   keyboard  


Sunny

So pretty right. (Yup we know the whalehead has been staring at us for months already. Onto tram, coach, taxi, planes, foot, camerabag, whatsoever. Almost batteredbeer.)

Goldfish Vanilla Cupcakes Graham (CAD 3.65)
  
Why it is in French and sakura is because tiny view from a hamster, the confetti from the cupcake in Montreal are totalitarian and sexist, it is pur pink(!). Hence the fish gets rubbed in shiny scales of rogue pearlized sugar. {Our memory foam pillows recall goldfish snacks quad-colour (in blue, green, orange, dark red), somehow here, here, and a missing here.} 

 P.S. Reading, it is FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JUICE CONCENTRATES FOR COLOUR PINK- they are thanking radish, pumpkin, tomato, apple, sweet potato, cherry. Baked with real vanilla extract*. No wonder a marked pink singled out for sprinkles on your cupcake to discriminate. It tastes no dissimilarity from the peas in the pod of tropical vanilla fish, {grahams, yes when they are sweets no more crackers} but now you know the difference flashing pink.

Tic-Tac-(toe)- XOXOs for Her yearly Ferrero

keyboard  


Sunny

 Yup we keep seeing it.


Tic Tac Pink Grapefruit (CAD 3.68)
Isn't it expensive, if it is a matchstick box size or jumbo less miserable (of 49g) of fresh mints. Why shoulder such loot? A poignant tale beneath the champagne champignon pink is it is only available in the months turning winter, and chosen to be offered in pharmacies where automatic teller machines churn out notes big for you to settle your school insurances (4 digits) and to foot the pink ribbon foundation. The ladies' favourite fruit {slimming} their more hypnotic variety (pink), and their cause. There has never been a Tic Tac sweeter than this (we know it is menthol, alright).  

 P.S. 100 mints(or 100%). Menthe their preferred taste not so sweet, sourish and bitter mints not sweets so retaining repairing properties. Tear off those sugar daddies shell once more; why they find it so special: powdered acerola (cherry) extract, powdered pink grapefruit juice and carmine for their colour, pink.

Pink Pan(ther)- female@ Donq

Monday, June 24   keyboard  


Sunny

 Only the French would be that tantalizing. Full-bodied masterpieces, like flower heads, lavish ingredients. At a glance, heavily textured waxing and waning. The dark, the light (dusted), the savoury, the sweet breads. One of its signature include the mentaiko french, and the dutch bread. 


Pink Panda (chocolate chips) (SGD 3.00)

Ganache heaven, it is the Japanese. Little lake of colour, or pool. Ice-cream station Donq has stamped the Mr Panda, sighted and reproduced a sakura version, Ms Panda strawberry. Chocolate, and strawberry. Scoop which comes in more than 1 flavour residing in the well. Breads which draw the people to, because the lighting and heating are flamed and torched like a creamery. The goody bag of fruits and vegetables, herbs and elegant meats, flour and technique and content. 


The bun is brioche based, yeasty, not that fine, higher butter or milk taste. It is golden, crusty at the bottom equally dark exposing real chocolate drops. Panda bow achingly tied pink, however it is under a different umbrella, rich, tender. So is the (panda) eye. A sparkly eye, crumbed, sugared.

P.S. The pink panda is one of the lovely mistakes on earth. Mutation. Premium camouflage. Sweet, turning pandas females. No. The strawberry panda was not strawberry (the cream, chocolate), but table sugar candied.

Paint marker waffle- Pearl Waffle

Friday, May 24   keyboard  


Cloudy

 It seems to be HK or Taiwan which does it. Crepe, egg tart, eggette, obanyaki, potato (baked, whole). Galaxy on top of them which includes sugar, savoury, or spice|nice.  



The waffles look sleek because it is the Taiwan/Belgium/liege. Non-cubiodal comprising of the many subsets, counterparts. Plump, full and crunchy at the surface, like starfish arms. Frayed shape of flour fritters. 

Banana Creamy Liege (RM 10.90)
Uniform pink, pink gear, the padded counter like beauty parlours? Dermatology new technology? But Pearl Waffle. Where only pearly white sugar, extracted from the beets from Belgium is used. The exceptionally hard, refined pearl sugar you find varnished on choux pastry. 



Strawberry Chocolate Classic (RM 6.50)
Creamy liege, classic, words which colour and pepper the board. Liege the waffle Belgian liege waffle, chosen to be a room-temperature fruit tart creamy, or Pearl Waffle classic. Classic the exemplar of Pearl Waffle, the batter as if one colour each, stamped and coated on one face of the waffle; on wells, lining highway junctions. Batter-dipped, half dunked like old-fashioned or s'mores, its the waffles sung and elevated. Coated thinly in milk and chocolate, pocky.



 P.S. Throwing glances over, you are informed that Pearl Waffle is handmade and freshly baked on the spot. The 180 persistence, it is 180 minutes of fermentation and at 180 degrees of high temperature for the distinct waffle. Such testings to emerge a pearl.
