Wow lately there has been lots of posts about eating out, hasn't it? On a fine sunny day like today, my friend and I decided to try Passionflower's desserts. I've heard that their desserts are extremely over-priced... and they are.
Two scoops in a waffle basket for $11. Gosh, really expensive ice cream. But people still flock to Passionflower because of their exotic flavours. Black sesame, green tea, azuki, jackfruit, sticky rice, taro just to name a few. The flavours below are taro and jackfruit, two flavours that are harder to come by. The taro was disappointing, it tasted like vanilla ice cream, no taro flavour at all. The jackfruit was marginally better though. I could actually taste jackfruit.
Strawberry filled crepes with strawberry and white chocolate hazelnut ice cream, $15.50. The best thing about this was the strawberry ice cream. But then again, it tasted like those ones you can buy in a 1 kg carton for 1/3 of the price. The crepes were rubbery, and the white choc hazelnut ice cream tasted like vanilla.
Maybe I would come back one day.... to try some of their other desserts in martini glasses. They look scrumptious. But stay away from their crepes.
After all that ice cream, we decided to take a walk in a futile attempt to work out the calories we just consumed. Then we came across Cakeworld, which was having a grand opening. They were giving out coupons for free coffee and 15% off storewide. Free coffee! Why not?
My long black coffee. Rich and bitter, perfect with something sweet.
A tiramisu daifuku and dango purchased from a nearby Japanese restaurant Ramen-ya. The dango came with seaweed, which you're supposed to wrap around the dango. It's a new experience for me, tasting sweet and savoury, chewy and crunchy all at once. Pretty yummy.
The tiramisu was ok, I would much rather have matcha or azuki flavours.
We couldn't resist a taro cake on display.
It was good, but nothing really special about it. Very mild taro flavour.
