Tokyo Secret @ Johor Bahru City Square

Recently opened their outlet at Johor Bahru City Square, Tokyo Secret aim at both Malaysian and Singaporean customers by offering the famous Baked Cheese Tarts.

RM 7.90 for a Cheesetart

RM 8.90 for a Matcha Cheesetart

Can you smell that cheese??

Yeah!!! Finally brought the tarts!

See how creamy both tarts are. Wooooo!! Very buttery taste when you take the first bite. Subsequently , you will be able to taste the cream cheese as you munch. 

Matcha version is quite good as well, slightly stronger matcha taste compare to the cheese. It's not to my liking.

I like the oozy cream cheese that flow out when you take a bite at the tart. Plus, the cheese smell is overpowering!! Can't resist the temptation!! 

Currency conversion is great, you really can't miss it now!! 

Dazzling Cafe Singapore 蜜糖吐司專賣店

Oh yes, finally get a chance to try the food in Dazzling cafe after last year fave when they opened. Located at CBD area, Stamford road, it is quite accessible via public transport such as MRT (alight at city hall station) or bus. 

2 levels of seats available

Menu for your mains

There is a separate menu if you are looking for Toasts

Weekday special for just $19.90 nett. This is quite a good deal for lunch. You get to choose either a soup or tea on top of your main (Spaghetti). The choice of spaghetti range at about $16.90++, so just another $3 you will get a soup/tea. 

I decided to try this lunch special

Cream of Mushroom - Thick brown mushroom soup which the mushrooms are finely blended. Quite delicious if you ask me.

Scallops and crabmeat agilo oilo - Surprised by this dish, seriously real crab meat was used instead of those artificially made crabmeat sticks. Mildly spicy. Scallops are cooked nicely, topped with roasted garlic for extra kicks.

Hazalnut Cocoa ($9 iced)

Matcha with Azuki Beans Honey Toast ($19.90)

Nice presentation of the dessert. 3 thick toasts topped with matcha ice cream and covered with thick layer of cream. The toasts are coated thinly with sugar. The interior of the toasts had been filled with cubed size bread. I hardly find the azuki beans in the toast, maybe just a few beans on the outside. Overall, the sweetness is acceptable, but just too much cream to my liking

Verdict 4/5

Impressive presentation of the food, however i find the taste for the toast is somewhat a let down.
I have to compliment the staffs. Very good service and attentiveness i received from the staffs.
It is still worth the experience if you have not tried theirs version in Taiwan outlet

Regoli Pasticceria (Pastry) - Rome

Regoli Pasticceria is a reputable old pastry shop which sells a range of delectable pastry and cakes at affordable prices. You do not have to pay a bomb to enjoy these quality sweet treats. We were absolutely spoiled of choices as we stepped in and look at the shelves of pastry and cakes. It is a one stop place where you can find all the traditional Italian's pastry.

Right beside Regoli Pasticceria is Regoli Gelateria caffe which sells a wide range of freshly churned gelato with indoor seats within it.

Take away pastry wrapped very nicely like a present parcel.

Cornetto, Chocloate Eclair and Pistachio Puff

 

 

Cornetto- Cornetto is a common pastry in Rome. Regoli's cornetto is huge with thick pastry crust. The custard fillings were very generous, thick and firm as well

Pistachio Cream Puff - Pistachio cream was thick and fragrant. Portion of puff and cream was just nice, but i find it too sweet to finish off the sugar icing on top. 

Chocolate Eclair - Another pastry which melts our heart. The fillings taste like dark chocolate, not too sweet and not diluted at all. 

Bavaresi 2.50 euro- This is another Italian dessert with thick custard alike light cream sandwiched with 2 piece of pastry crusty base and thick sugar icing on top. It melt right away in the mouth due to its icy texture. 

Verdict: 4/5

We visited this shop 2 times and both times did not disappoint us at all. All the pastries are reasonably priced at around 2.50 Euro, and they certainly worth its value for its given quality and quantity. Regoli is about 15 mins walking distant from the Colosseum and 10 mins walk from the nearest metro station. Other than the Colosseum, Regoli is another thing i remember for Rome!

Lady M - Orchard Central

One of the latest outlet opened at Orchard Central with 2 storey high of seats for you to choose. Of course, i prefer the staircase sofa seats which are larger in space and more privacy too. Oops, no photo taken for that.. LOL

A range of  delicate cakes such as the signature crepe cakes, strawberry shortcake, tarts etc...

All day breakfast, salads and soup are served as well

Chocolate Mille Crepe ($9.00) - Only available at Lady M Orchard Central. I really love this version of crepe cake alot. Very chocolaty and i just can't get enough of it, still wanting to get more. The chocolate cream at every layer is thick and its sweetness is just nice, plus the softness of the crepes.. hmmmm yummy. Really must try as this is only available at OC outlet. Eat it as soon as it is served while the crepe cake is still firm.

Matcha Mille Crepe ($9.00) - One of the best seller cake of Lady M. Strong Matcha flavour from the generous matcha powder on top of it and from the matcha cream at each layer. Taste is as good as it looks. Slightly sweeter as compared to the chocolate crepe cake.

Verdict 4/5

Pancakes on the Rocks - Darling Harbour

Pancakes on the rock is a cafe located in Harbourside Shopping Centre, Darling Harbour.

There are many branches of this restaurant and we visited the one at the basement of Harbourside Shopping Centre. Queue starts to form as early as 6pm. The crowd include the locals, office workers as well as the tourist.

Lots of seating place

Chicken & Bacon Pizza ($17.95) - Thin crust pizza with generous mixture of chicken breast, bacon, tomato, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese on top of it. It was a very big piece of pizza, good for sharing on the table. 

Devils Delight ($14.95) - A stack of 3 chocolate pancakes topped with a scoop of chocolate ice cream, chopped bananas and strawberries, and drizzled with chocolate sauce all over. Pancakes are thick, fluffy and served warm. The generous serving of fruits are large and fresh as well. Portion is big enough to be share among at least 4 people. It would be too sweet and sick to finish all by oneself.

Beef Crepes ($15.95)  - thin layer of crepes filled with minced beef and topped with cream and tomato paste. Minced beef is nicely marinated and the crepes is not that oily. I don't really like the cream but the tomato paste is delicious, sweet and savoury  

Verdict 3/5

Overall satisfactory with the food and environment. Serving of all dishes were big and very filling. Food was palatable though not outstanding. 

There is another branch nearby at The Rocks which opens 24hrs everyday, so you can have pancakes anytime of the day!
