As usual, even though it was Saturday, I went to work. Later, I went out to tapau nasi lemak for mum at Say Yes Cafe. Then I went to Jaya Grocer to pick up some supplies for mum.
I took a shortcut via the Uptown 7 car park and to get there I had to pass by the Samsung shop. They reopened after renovations and the lion dance troupe was waiting to start their performance.
Later I discovered that they were offering coffee to visitors.
I had an iced Long Black and a Grilled Chicken Salad with add on tempeh.
This is my favorite salad at Red Kettle or at anywhere else.
I previously disliked their dressing but this time the dressing is different (not sickly sweet) and I liked it a lot. What I do is dip my fork into the (thick) dressing and then pick up items from the salad bowl.
So where is the misbehaviour you ask?
Muahahahaha!!! One person, two slices of cake. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
A slice of Strawberry Shortcake.
A slice of Tiramisu.
An iced Latte. It was very thin, so this was not a good iced Latte.
The Strawberry Shortcake was spongy with tender crumbs but I did not like the strawberry filling (artificial flavoring).
While the Tiramisu was just an ordinary chocolate cake. Not a very good one at that. I should have had my cakes at Red Kettle.
Then I went back to The Starling for my post -meal walk. Saw this new Tiramisu creation outside Baskin Robbins.
Happy belated birthday ๐ฅณ๐ ๐
ReplyDeleteHi dear friend, Happy belated birthday. ๐ Sorry to hear you weren't ๐ข In a birthday mood. The cakes look good.
ReplyDeleteNowadays also, if buy cakes from normal cafes, need to adjust expectations that the cakes may turn out to be pasar malam cakes. Only reputable cafes with a slice of cake starting from MYR 20 and above else the cakes may not be made from real butter.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday to you PH.
ReplyDeleteWah, the last quote is positive self talk which believes in the concept of self fulfilling prophecy.
ReplyDeleteOh, so where did you have the cakes, instead of at red kettle?
ReplyDeleteFrom the look and how you described, I think I will prefer the tiramisu. Dear, you are not alone, we do have our down days as who never has problems in life. Hope you will feel better, and I think you really need the last quote. Hope my encouragement and comment will make you feel alright.
ReplyDeleteI recalled and remember that you plan to eat Korean on your birthday, in the end you didn't but had food at Red Kettle. Correct me if I am wrong.
ReplyDeleteOh sorry, or was it that the Korean restaurant (last photo) is still not opened yet. Paiseh paiseh.
