Farewells & Celebrations; The Thing About Cakes…

May 15, 2006

updates of the past week:

friday. met up with daniel, pam, kin and shuying for afternoon tea at gelare, city link mall. daniel’s leaving for thailand on sunday for a 6-week educational trip, so we kinda arranged for a farewell gathering :) it was a public holiday (vesak day) and not surprising the mall was packed and crowds came on incessantly. a comment to make about gelare: service aside, i have never yet evaluated the food fantastic from the many experiences (including last week’s); given the immensely delightful facial leers on the customers, i had decided to give them, and myself a second chance but damn i was so wrong. the food still sux as ever. bad choice guys..

come on, the blossom dream strawberry cake was absolutely terrible, wasn’t it?!! you guys tried it too and instantly displayed the :s look. i mean.. gawd.. the cake was not fresh; the pink mini curls on top weren’t appealing at all; the fudge wasn’t rich enough, and i have to pay 5 bucks for it!?! and i am sooOO ”grateful” to the counter guy for suggesting a weird combination of ice cream float that tasted like fuck! you tell me how nice can it get with a blend of thick *FUDGEY* chocolate overload with 7-up HUR?! the good side however is how it looks splendid on the outside when you see the two mixing together.. like pastel colours lol. but not all’s bad.. cos gelare’s waffles are by far, the best i’ve ever eaten. though expensive (8.50 for a large waffle of abt 7 inches in diameter with a single scoop of ice cream of customer’s choice), it’s worth the money and experience to bite the crisp on the outside and taste the tenderness on the inside.. yummy!! and i also ordered a chicken mayo on focaccia, not too ex abt 6.90 i think, and not fantastic - something is lacking..

final evaluation:
overall experience: 2.5 stars / 5,
cake: 2
ice cream float: 1.5
waffles: 4
sandwich: 2.5

next time better order something cheaper and safe: nantucket nectars.

saturday - m’s day celebration. had a simple buffet at river view with each person amounting to abt 32+. and i specially ordered a cake from goodwood park hotel.. now that’s what i call a REAL CAKE. bro and i shared the $80 cake and it tasted really HEAVENLY!! the cake is divided into 2 parts. the top part of it is basically the cake itself covered with thick glooey chocolate with mango fillings and the bottom part of the cake is just freakin’ gd!!!.. it’s all made up of kit kats!!. i tell you.. imagine you have a whole load of kit-kats in your mouth.. GAWD.. HIGH LIAO..

sunday. lazed around, listened to music. not feeling too well, due to the extremities of hogging the previous night haha.. but you noe what.. i still can’t wait for daddy’s day to come LOL.. f’day = foooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.
