Canele Patiserrie

Been having a sweet tooth recently, which is very rare for me. As both Hubby & me are appetizer, salad & main course people, we seldom make it through to desserts. Plus I'm usually scared of sweet stuffs and chocolates. But very recently having tasted some really nice cakes, I've been looking forward to desserts after meal, and choosing to skip appetizers or even main course for it.

Which is no good. Considering I'm trying to lose weight!

Was at UE Square with friends after dinner and had the sweet tooth again. Wanted to visit The Patisserie but they were closed. To our surprise, they are actually closed on Fri-Sun & weekends! Wow business must be so good that they skip peak periods totally!

Then we went to Robertson Quay in search of desserts and found Canele amongst a few others.

 Canele's row of beautiful cakes at Raffles City always make me feel hungry whenever I pass them, but I usually can't finish 1 whole slice of cake and I like variety, but on the other hand, I don't want to waste food. And weirdly enough I've been there on 2 occasions and on both, I drank soup and coffee. Both was good but I really wanted to try their famous cakes & macarons. So I thought this is the best chance for me to try more items since there is 6 of us! :)

 

Fleur De Sel Caramels Macaron 

Despite seeing macaroons gazillion times, this is the 1st time I'm eating one!

Always thought they look highly-rated & over-priced.

So, I ordered 1. A sea-salt caramel one which is my fave ice-cream flavour.

I first thought of a "lao-hong" biscuit when my teeth sank in. I ain't sure how else to describe the texture. While the sandwiched tasted slightly chewy but nicely sweet like how caramel should be, I ain't sure if I'll eat this again.

 Gateau Chocolat
Every chocolate lovers' dream. Layers of luscious triple choc topped with thin dark chocolate pc.

 

Tiramisu
so light so smooth so delightful!
U can taste the brandy in it yet its not overpowering! Awesome!

 

L' amour
I love this so much! Raspberry swirls on velvety smooth vanilla bean ice cream topped with rose meringue that melts on your tongue,
perfect match in heaven!!!

 Affogato

 My friend localised it by describing it as "Kopi-O float

I thought it was rather appropriate! :)

Sweet food tastes even more sweet when catching up with old friends.. :)

I'll be back for more!
