My First Macaron~~

Thanks my prince for the Macaron! It's my first real-french-recipe Macaron in my life, yummy yummy.

When you bite on a Macaron, it should be crispy on the outer shell, with creamy chewy sweet filling. Macaron is a french confectionery made from egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar and almond powder. Sounds simple, right? But there should be some key points to make the best macaron.

Yummy yummy, he also bought me a cute cupcake.
~Red Velvet cupcake with lemon cream cheese frosting~


I am still wondering what the red velvet is actually made of. Colouring? natural fruits? I have no ideas.

Singapore Food: NYDC, New York Dessert Cafe

There are a few NYDC branches in Singapore, including: Holland village, Wheelock Place, Velocity, Tampines 1, Bedok Point, and the one i visited is at Bugis Junction.
It's not the brand that attracts me to dine in NYDC New York Dessert Cafe, but the cake displayed outside! They are awesomely tempting!

Mushroom pizza (forgotten the exact name of it),


I have forgotten the name of this too, but i remembered the fresh juicy mushroom taste very well!


My Favourite cheesecake: Goldmine cheesecake,

It's described as New York Cheesecake with chocolate chunks, slathered with irresistible chocolate fudge topping and the Oreo cookie crust! yummy!


I am looking forward to the next visit, especially the Pecan pie, or The Big "O" Cheesecake, or even Goldmine Cheesecake again..!

Location: NYDC New York Dessert Cafe, Bugis Junction, Singapore
Type of cuisine: Western and variety of cakes

Malacca specialty: Nadeje Patisserie Cafe, Mille Crepe

Look tempting? Notice there are layers on each piece of cakes?



All the while, i only know that Malacca and Sarawak are famous with this type of Kek Lapis:

But we actually have the moden type of Kek Lapis in Malaysia, and it is in the small town of food paradise, Malacca!

This cafe offers a special type of Crepe Cake, or it's called Mille Crepe. Mille means a thousand in French. So in French, Mille Crepe means a type of French cake with multiple layer of crepe.

The original Mille Crepe, with strong aroma of egg, honey and creme.

The Strawberry Mille Crepe, with a strawberry layer on top.

The Banana Chocolate Mille Crepe, you can see it is done each layer with chocolate, and in the middle of each layer there are creme. I am sure each cake must be done with high patience level.

You can have the cake with special drinks offered in the cafe, or you can have a cup of "Super Super Kao" Long Bean hot coffee, which comes with promotion (purchase of any slice of cake).



The Green Tea Mille Crepe.



Instead of having a slice of Mille Crepe in the cafe, you can also take away, either the whole cake or a slice of cake, and they will provide ice bag for you to avoid the cake from melted.

The cakes offered here are really worth for trying, and you will miss it always! A slice of cake costs at affordable price, around RM9.00 per piece.
