okay, it's not the club. i know there's 1 at Genting, i think there's one in SG as well.


but i am actually referring to ice cream at Cedele by Bakery Depot.

i like the simple packaging

since i couldn't/didn't head to Canele to get that BFC, i thought i'd settle my sweet tooth craving with ice cream. my initial choice was almond cappuccino. well, i love almond regardless of form. unfortunately, they didn't have that. next time i'd get it.


the pics uploaded, were from previous purchase. i like that the salt is subtle and i can taste the caramel. it's quite nice, then again i think it's due to the salt, it made me pretty thirsty after quite a couple of spoonfuls. but it's yums coz they have full almond nuts in the ice cream and i really cannot get enough! the ice cream is basically eggless and 0% transfat.

you can see the smoothness of the ice cream.. yum yum!

at a price of $12.50 for a 500g tub, i think it's quite ok. can last me quite sometime.. :D

Cedele's Cakes

i had a craving for cedele's carrot cake, so i went to get it the other day after work.

the huge slice of carrot cake... i can never finish it entirely

i think Cedele's chefs have a particular liking for walnuts. all their cakes have walnuts except for one which has pistachios.. i think is the brownie??

then over the weekend, i had a craving for their ice cream. Unfortunately, the branch or outlet at parkway dont have ice cream. so i got the lemon meringue pie instead. hmm.. not much of a mood to describe today, i'll just say that i still prefer the one from Double Bay.

the 3 different layers of the lemon meringue pie.. meringue on top, sturdy froth in the middle.. lemon tart at the bottom.

that's how the froth is like.. hmm if you can see it

the meringue has a strong egg smell and it didn't smell fresh. do you call it stale egg taste or if ever there was such a term. it's a bit hard to swollon coz the eggy smell was strong. the centre was not cake, it was some froth or hmm, i can't say it's froth coz it doesnt disintegrate. in fact, it's quite amazing that it's beaten till quite solid. didn't like it, felt like eating air or bubbles. dunno what to make out of. the lemon taste is at the bottom. sweet and sourish. good blend, i like that part.


sadly, i think that's the only part i like. i'd definitely not have another go at it though.

rattish

surfing many a foodies blogs to search for a place to bring my 'ex' mgr as well as my current mgr together with their wifeys and kiddo for dinner. there were so many options to choose from, i kinda narrow down to buffet and Italian. i dunno what's their preference.


buffet's at Straits cafe @ hotel rendezvous and Italian... hmm.. there's a couple to choose from but i am not sure which one. will ask their opinion and see how it goes.


i tried the Cedele Carrot cake today. for the price of 6 bucks, i'd say it's damn worth it and add on $1.80 you get a coffee full of taste and punch. it's quite strong actually. stronger than my fair trade drip coffee i got from Muji in fact! ok, i am digressing.


i didn't how heavy the cake will be so for lunch i ate only fruits. yep, headed to the $2 fruits from marina. after getting the fruits, i headed to Cedele to buy the cake. first impression of the cake when i opened from the box was that, hmm.. it didn't look as big as the picture i saw in the blog. i felt that i was visually ahem cheated. nevertheless, i consoled myself that the cake ought to be good. so i sunk the fork in.


it was not happening when the fork sunk into the cake. taste wise.. woah.. it was quite different. moist as one of my colleague put it and not too sweet. flavourful can't remember if it was vanilla taste or cinnanmon. can't really taste the carrot but i see slivers of it. the sweet cream on top of the cake i felt, became quite a bit jelat for me though the sweetness is nice and mixes well with the cake.


what i love about the cake is the generous portion of walnuts that the small slice of cake has. on the side of the cake, the walnuts covered the whole area entirely. it's hard to find any space which was not covered with walnuts. DAMN SHIOK!! and within the cake itself, there was also a generous supply of the nut. i was in nutty heaven and very happy!


albeit my intial reaction was that of being visually cheated, the small slice sure made me uber full. initially, i was thinking of heading to raffles creamery for my pina colada ice cream. but now, i'm craving for savoury stuff. had i not been lazy, i'd have alighted at OAR (old airport road) hawker centre but then i'd have a problem deciding what to eat. i had wanted to try the wanton mee (but after reading the review, i think the WTM near my place would be nicer) if not, the hay zoh and the crispy pig intestine. else, i'd buy my favourite prawn mee soup. well, i had none of those coz i was too lazy and came back home eating pessimon for dinner.


despite the above, i think i have decided what to eat for lunch tomorrow. i shall head to souperlicious for some yummy soup tomorrow. in the meantime, i shall sleep off some of the hunger i am feeling right now... *grrrrr*
