Taiwan #001 - Melange Cafe

During my first business trip to Taiwan in last December, I had some free time on a Sunday and decided to go and visit one of the cafes that was highly recommended online.

As I had no idea where the cafe was, I hopped on a cab to get there. As the cafe was located along a small alley, the cab driver told me to alight at the main road and walk in. The cafe is near towards the main road (around 2 mins walk) so it is quite easy to find.

There are 2 outlets on the same street (no. 17 & no. 23). Both cafes were fully packed. Many couples, friends and families came here for tea break. And since I was alone, I was able to easily get a seat but near to the kitchen area.

I brought Rila along with him so my brunch will not be so lonely!

Pacific Moon (愛情果粒茶) - Wanted to be adventurous and tried on this tea. One sip it was kind of sour. But after a few sips, I was gotten used to the taste and like it!

Strawberry Cream Waffle (草莓奶油鬆餅）- The waffles are soft and blend really well with the strawberries and cream. *thumbs up*

Singapore #005 - Patisserie G

I used to work in Suntec City and had been passing by this cafe in Milenia Walk. But never once I have really stepped in. It's a simple deco cafe with around 4-5 tables and just selling cakes.

Since my last visit to Allegretto in Hong Kong, I had been trying to find out if there's any 3D latte art available in Singapore. I stumbled across some blogs and found out there's seems to be one cafe in Singapore that does 3D latte art!

We dropped by on a Wednesday afternoon and it was packed. Luckily, it was really nice gesture of the waiter to offer to give us a call when there were seats available. We waited around 15 mins.

In the menu, there was no mention of 3D Latte Art so we asked the waiter and he said he can try!

Well, we were already there so no harm trying ya.... ordered 3 cups of latte in order with 2 slices of cakes.

This guy trying his best to create some 3D art for our lattes...

Apparently the barista in charge of the 3D arts was on leave so the waiter wanted to practice on his skills and therefore accepted our order request and charged us at normal latte price ($5.50). 

Note that they charged $10 per cup for 3D latte art.

 Lemon Cheesecake ($9) - Combination of the fresh lemon taste, this is not too rich for a cheesecake. The more you eat it, the more you will love it.

G Spot ($9) - Rich chocolate with hazelnut praline. If you are a sweet tooth, you will love it!

Overall, the cakes' texture is smooth and moist. Easy to melt in your mouth and you will just can't stop after having one or two mouth!
