Food post// Cafe-hopping: Plain Vanilla Bakery

If there's a place owning a title 'The Best', then i wouldn't mind traveling and spending my cash just to see whats' worth it! On Tuesday, met up with my love and we decided to head to 'Plain Vanilla Bakery'. 

I think this is perhaps the most eye-catching cafes within the neighbourhood. With dried plants dangling above, tiffany-blue bicycle neatly parked and a swing. Stepping into the cafe space is entirely a different feeling compared with the others. 

It was relatively quiet on the weekday afternoon. The cafe is done in an alfresco style. The inferior design of the bakery is simple yet inviting. I liked how spacious it was, laid back and relaxed, it's exactly my kind of place!

An array of art pieces or environmental related stuffs on sale.

Feature a small play area for tiny bubs, making it a great space for moms to get together with the kids!

These carefully handcrafted confections are made using fresh butter, pure madagascar bourbon vanilla, bittersweet belgian chocolate and perfectly ripe fruits. 

Cupcakes priced at $3.50 each($19 for half a dozen). Might be deem a little expensive but just by looking at it, who would resist them? (: 

They do have an array of petite treats like assorted tarts and cakes for grab too! 

Got half a dozen packed in a sturdy cardboard.  

First row: Milk Chocolate Banana, Dark Chocolate Ganache and Strawberry White Chocolate

Second row: Red Velvet, Cinnamon Brown Sugar and Cookies and Cream

Strawberry White Chocolate

The moist base tasted light, has a very fine crumb and was truly delectable. The column of fresh strawberry compote in the middle of the cupcake- lovely surprise, especially for people who like more bite in their cupcakes. The cupcake has a dainty natural sweetness however the white chocolate icing is a tad sweet for my liking. Overall, Classic combination and excellent execution!

If you agree that cupcake are deliciously good for the soul, it's time to visit Plain Vanilla Bakery. 

Bite into the richly Dark Chocolate Ganache and the sinfully saccharine Milk Chocolate Banana. Or how about a classic Red Velvet or voluptuous Cookies & Cream? One word of warning though - you will be left wanting more after sinking your teeth into these sublime creations!

So yea, hello guys! I'm back with another food post and another awesome place to introduce! 

First of all, any green tea lovers here? Do you like Japanese food? Do you like matcha- esp those that imported from Kyoto? I am and if you like any of them, Nana's Green Tea is for you.

I have walked past Nana's Green Tea way too many times and i have always wanted to try it (Had been telling my love that we MUST visit Nana's green tea cafe but well we didn't had a chance to and also, he hates green tea a lot). So glad that i was able to try it today and i'd definitely visit this place again! :)

If you walked past Nana's Green Tea Cafe before, you will see this signboard with CRAZY number of green tea/ matcha drinks. 

Located in the Plaza Singapura extension, Nana's is a modern and open concept type of cafe. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was all good. I like how spacious and innovative the place is. The square partitions in this cafe is designed as a modern interpretation of a Japanese tea room- when there's some form of privacy between each table. 

They have a very eclectic menu- Loads of variety to choose from.

 

Whenever i visit any Japanese cafe, i will definitely order unagi because it's my all time favourite! :) I would rate this 5/5. Yummmm~ Unagi Mabushi Don// Grilled soy marinated eel served over warm Japanese rice and garnished with sesame, nori and spring onion. 

 S.Mentaiko Cream Udon

Combines with the freshness of the prawns with scallop in Sesame Cream makes an appetizing comfort food dish.

Matcha Latte topped with Matcha Ice cream

It was thick and fragrant and the taste of the matcha was strong with a generous scoop of matcha ice cream.

Nana's Green Tea Cafe offers lunch featuring a complimentary drink and a main course of your choice.

RECOMMENDED FOOD OPTIONS AT CATHAY CINELEISURE ORCHARD

Tada~

It's the 'Best fries Forever'{Located at Basement of Cathay Cineleisure}

'Best Fries Forever' needs no introduction. The fries definitely live up to their name.

Whenever i head to Orchard for my shopping spree, i will definitely drop by Cineleisure to get my 'BEST FRIES FOREVER'!!!! Why this place? I mean it's nothing special right? There's fries at McDonald's, KFC, Burger King etc. Because here, the fries are well, sliced with the potato skin on, deep fried and served in it's seemingly all natural oily goodness. 

It is far most one of the best fries i've tried. I doubt i will get sick of it...ha~ It's so yummy and till now, i'm still loving em'

The menu// Wide range of choices to choose from

{For you, indecisive people// If you cannot decide which flavours to go for, you may want to check out the sampling set. The sampling set offers you a glimpse of each flavours to choose from.}

Different types of sauces for dippings// Macho Cheese, Wow Wow West, BB Cute,

Friendly Fire, Gusto Garlic and Ole Ole. 

{Small: $4.90// Regular: $5.90}

My Favourite Sauce- Macho Cheese!!! {I LOVE CHEESE FRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}

The amount of sauce given is pretty much generous and it is very filling too. 

I would recommend this!! Cheese toppings would never go wrong :)
