P.S. Cafe (Harding Road) - Sticky Date Pudding

Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce

P.S. Cafe is one of the best glasshouse cafe in Singapore. Since it is located away from the city and surrounded by a real garden, P.S. Cafe at Harding Road offers a very relaxing ambiance. Also, a nice background to take an Insta-worthy picture 😜

P.S. Cafe is very popular for its shoestring fries and double chocolate blackout cake and sticky date pudding with toffee sauce. I didn't try their fries since I was just curious to try out their signature cake, (but I did try the egg benedict and it's also good)
so here are the pictures....

Double Chocolate Blackout Cake ($16)

Sticky Date Pudding with Toffee Sauce ($$15)

At first I thought a sticky date pudding is "a pudding", but surprisingly its not a pudding at all. It is a cake poured with a toffee sauce and topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cake is not sweet, not so light but also not dense. The toffee sauce has a similar taste with caramel, but not too sweet and just perfect to be eaten with the cake. This is my first time trying out sticky date pudding but I already fell in love into it😍 until I feel like wanna try to make it really soon!!!

For the chocolate cake, it was also poured with a sauce, which is a chocolate sauce. But, I feel that the chocolate cake is really just like a normal chocolate cake. The chocolate frosting has a very rich chocolate flavour, the cake is light enough...but you'll feel not good after eating too much of it.

I ask the opinion from two of my friends and overall the sticky date pudding got 2 vote whereas the double chocolate blackout got 1 vote, so sticky date is the winner 🎉🎉🎉

So, as always I'll give points to both cakes based on my opinion.

- Sticky Date Pudding 9/10

- Double Chocolate Blackout Cake 5/10

Fluff Bakery - Best Speculoos Cupcake in Singapore

I have never been a fan of cupcake until I went to Fluff Bakery. It is a small bakery located in Jalan Pisang. Written on a chalkboard, their menu varies from the normal flavour like chocolate brownies until the  local flavor like ondeh-ondeh and a unique flavour like speculoos cookie.

Started out as a cupcake business, they have now expand into selling cakes as well.

Since I am not a fan of cupcake, but still curious about their taste. So, I bought a box of 2 cupcakes. They are the Speculoos Cheesecake Graham Crumbs and Chocolate Malt Fudge Brownie.

Upon trying their Speculoos cheesecake flavour, I realize the goodness of cupcake. Unlike the usual cupcake which is very oily with unflavoured frosting, Fluff Bakery's cupcake is not oily at all and their cream frosting on top complete the cupcake perfectly 😍

As their name suggest, the cupcake is also very fluffy and full of flavour. Also, it has a little filling of cheesecake inside which make the cupcake taste even more delicious. 

It is not too sweet and just perfect. A thumbs up for the Speculoos Cheesecake Cupcake👍

Another one is the chocolate malt brownie. With a bittersweet cream frosting, it balanced the sweetness of the chocolate fillings and the fudge brownie. However, I personally feel that the fillings is too sweet. But it would be perfect for someone who like sweet things.

I personally think their cream frosting and cupcake base is much better than normal cupcakes, because the cream is flavoured and cupcake base not oily.

I would rate Speculoos Cheesecake Graham Crumbs as 9/10 and Chocolate Malt Fudge Brownie as 6/10.

Curious about their local flavour like ondeh-ondeh or bandung? Look out for the other post in another time~

Cake Spade - Queen of Red Velvet

When I search for "the best cheese cake in Singapore", Cake Spade is always there on the list. Located in 83 Tanjong Pagar Road, Cake Spade is like a hidden gem. From the first time of arrival, I have been attracted by their exterior design, the pink-coloured wall, which is so different compared to other stores along the road😍 Then at the moment I step in, I can see that some spots are made for Instagram. But, too bad I didn't manage to take one cos I was just so excited to try their cakes.

This is actually my second time to the cafe after they have moved. The first time was when I was looking for the original taste of red velvet, so I tried their Pomegranate Red Velvet. Although previously the place was pretty small with only a few seats inside, I've got to say that it worth the trip down there. They sell variety of cakes and their Red Velvet is really the best in town in my opinion. I enjoyed every bite of its dense yet light texture and I think its dense texture is what make me addicted to their red velvet. 

The next time I went there, they already modified the Red Velvet toppings from Pomegranate become crunched chocolate and I feel that its texture becomes a bit lighter. But it doesn't really matter for me cos what's matter most is the presence of that addicting dense texture.

I was also very curious when I looked at that name of "tofu cheesecake". The cheese layer has a solid and soft texture like a tofu. Then, on top of it is a fresh sliced strawberry inside a strawberry jelly. With that crumbly cracker base like the normal cheesecake, the tofu cheesecake is complete. This would be perfect for someone who doesn't like strong cheese flavour, but not for me since I prefer a cheesecake with strong cheese flavour.

Strawberry Tofu Cheesecake on the left and Spiced Carrot Cake on the right.

On the right of the picture is the Spiced Carrot Cake. To be honest, this is the second time I tried carrot cake since I am not a fan of it. But I am so curious about how good it is until it become one of the best carrot cake in Singapore. The light carrot sponge cake layered with cream cheese frosting is a perfect combination. In companion with the strong flavour of the spice, I feel that this is the best carrot cake that I have ever tried. 

If I were give ratings for them, I would rate their Red Velvet 10/10, Tofu Cheesecake 7/10 and Spiced Carrot Cake 6.5/10.

The only thing is that they don't a self-service water station like usually provided in other cafes, so bring your water bottle along. Otherwise, you can also buy the small water bottle there with cake spade tag on it 😅😙

Plus Eight Two

Opened by BTOB's Eun-kwang, this cafe was very popular among students ever since before it was opened. Plus Eight Two is a dessert cafe specializes in bingsu. Located across two school institutions, many students often go here for studying. Also, it has a very relaxed atmosphere which is good for studying or having a simple chat.

Upon entering, the scent of the freshly brewed coffee is the highlight which makes you "feel" the cafe ambiance. It has a wide space and a simple yet nice interior design. Also, it has a nice spot on the side with sofa chair which is nice for a group chat and to take a nice picture for Instagram 😁

But, I am actually going there to try their cakes as you might have expected.

I chose Red Velvet to sweeten the night 😆😙












Their unique serving method is what makes it even Insta-worthy as they put the plate on top of a wooden frame. Compare to the one sold in the usual cake shop, this cake is a bit shorter. But, I love the cake texture which is moist with a rich flavor of red velvet. Also, they use a full cream cheese frosting which you can really taste since the first bite. I like that strong cheese flavor but I personally prefer a red velvet cake with a balanced cheese flavor, since it is not a cheesecake.

Even though the staff does not speak English very fluent, it doesn't really matter as they are friendly and nice.

Overall, I would rate their red velvet 8/10.
