today marked the first day after about a month where i went to work without my mum sending me to and fro. a bit apprehensive at first, but heck, i already took a trip to tampines over the weekend for my haircut and took the bus as well as the mrt. basically, the left foot still hurts but just grit my teeth and walked. i guess i need that bit of exercise somehow.
anyway, i missed my cakes from Pan Pac and had a craving. contemplated half the day whether should pay a visit or not. anyways, even to the last minute, i nearly didn't go. so off i went and greedy me bought two items. a chocolate eclair and a chendol cake. see the pic and you'd know why i bought the former. the latter i got it coz it's unique.
in short, nothing to rave about. i'm not sure if it's coz after eating CBL that the chocolate filling in the eclair wasn't anything fantastic and it definitely have some sourish taste which i couldn't figure. didn't taste spoilt or anything, it was just 'blah'.. the saving grace surprisingly was their addition of the raspberries. kinda sad huh.
as for the chendol cake, i was also attracted by the jade green topping. i love the red bean coz it's not the mushy kind and also coz of the jelly which had the typical pandan smell which was so fragrant. sadly the atup chee cannot make it, as well as those greeny stuff. the filling inbetween tasted like agar agar with coconut just not as firm, but it's pretty ok. hmm.. in short, i probably won't buy it again.
oh no, what has 1 caramel done to my taste buds for cakes!?!? this is horrific! hee :p

Hmm... heard alot about Pan Pacific's chocolate Eclair but haven't got to try it. The staff mention that pre-ordering is required but they didn't tell me what is the minimum order...
Anyway, after hearing that there is a change of chefs and poor reviews about it, I have decided to give their eclairs a miss...
Wah, Chendol cake, I cannot imagine finishing that... Pretty daring for you to get that...
that day when i bought this eclair, there were a lot left in the fridge. it's also quite late at night around 815pm already.. so, can give it a miss coz it's nothing fantastic.
not sure if it's too huge, maybe they should have made it smaller, perhaps that would have been better.
as for the chendol cake.. hmm.. okay lah, i was curious.. :p
