Singapore Coffees: Old Town White Coffee

After having my late lunch / early dinner in Square 2, i needed a hot drink to complete my meal. I always pass by Old Town White Coffee but I never went in. So today, I decided to give it a try.

I ordered their classic Old Town White Coffee (Hot) for 2.20sgd (add another 0.20 for service charge).

It was DIVINE!!! It has the same richness as the hot chocolate of Max Brenner but it's coffee. Best coffee I had in Singapore yet. It's very comforting and very very rich! You'll need a glass of water when you drink it!

But I still do love my regular coffee with condensed milk available in coffee stalls everywhere (photo below)

Perfect with soft boiled eggs (eggs are in the orange container - it's cooking in boiling water) and Kaya toast with butter! Awesome breakfast / afternoon snack! It won't cost you much, around 2.70sgd for the coffee + toasts + 2 eggs! Haha

Anyway, will blog about more coffee discoveries soon!!

Obsession: Orange Chocolates part 1

Awfully Chocolate: Rich Chocolate Cupcake

Ilene and i visited the most unpopulated mall ever, Kallang Leisure Park, near Stadium MRT. We thought we wouldn't find anything great...BUT WE WERE WRONG!!!

Hello Awfully Chocolate! They sell wonderful chocolate creations from cakes, to ice cream, to truffles!!!

I happened to buy their Rich Chocolate Cupcake!!!

Chocolatey Goodness in a cup for 4.90SGD.

Close up!! OoooooohhhhhhhLaaaaallllaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Super worth it. Love love love! Must buy this when you're down or lonely 'cause it will definitely warm your heart =)

So the cupcake has lots of chocolate components. On the top is a chocolate mousse, that's the topping along the sides of the cupcake. Then on the center on top, there's a rich chocolate ganache! (drools) Under those two is of course the cake itself which is moist. And under the whole thing is the ganache again. I died....=)

Finished the whole thing. A good way to end the day of walking! Woot!!!

Ilene will try the White Chocolate on next time! Yay! Can't wait!

To know more about Awfully Chocolate, here's their website. Be sure to try it when you're in Singapore. Best one yet. =)

I heart mint chocolates

Everyone who knows me well enough knows that I love mint chocolate aside from choco-orange and dark choco..

So went to Raffles City yesterday and passed by the Hershey's Chocolate store. It was huge but I was not so impressed on the selection. Only the usual Hershey bars, Reese's, Kisses and another favorite of mine Mr. Goodbar! (I have 3 giant bars left at home no one will eat that)


I was not familiar with this brand.. But since its mint i wanted to buy it but.. its $2 per pc! expensive!!

York Peppermint Pattie

But to my surprise they had a promo for York PP.. $1.50 for 6 patties (I knew something was up) So i had to check the best before date.. April 30 2011 so that a month and a half to go.. I was confident that I will be able to finish this

April 30, 2011

So i bought not just one set but two!! so i had a total of 12 patties!! but 3 were already gone hehe (proves that April 30 wouldnt be a problem)

9 left..

Here's a close up photo of how the pattie looks like.. Thin dark chocolate covering and very thick mint filling

Yummy pattie

The good news is...

140  calories and 25 calories from fat

One pattie can be consumed for the whole day already! usually when I eat mint chocolate I dont crave to eat some more as compared to eating Mr. Goodbar or any white chocolate. This one pattie can be my dessert for breakfast lunch and dinner! Or can be a substitute for brushing the teeth! hahaha (joke)
marie lee even bought one for herself (she hates mint chocolate) But we agreed that this was a very good buy!!
