Palate Pleasers N Tummy Teasers

Have your cheesecake and eat it too!

Finally got around to satisfying yet another of my random cravings (this time, for cheesecake) after what seemed like the longest time Credit goes to X for being ever patient and sweetly pandering to my food whims and fancies, which I have to admit occur more often than not Guess that’s what makes each foodie experience that much more enjoyable.

The venue of choice (and aptly named too):

What better way to enjoy a cheesecake than with a nice cup of tea Preferably iced, given the current heatwave that has hit our shores.

(Iced Camomile Honey - $6.90; Iced Mango Tea - $6.50)

What got Papilles interested to drop by this cafe was their flavours of cheesecakes, many of which were ‘not-your-average’ cafe next-door varieties - think Peach Jelly Cheesecake, Walnut Cheesecake, Peanut Butter Cheesecake and even Creme Brulee Cheesecake (which unfortunately wasn’t available during our visit ).

A peek at the selection in their display counter and we each made our choice almost instantly

X’s weakness for vanilla revealed

(Vanilla Chocolate Chip Cheesecake - $7.50)

“Always veering toward the unconventional” - a personality reflected in my choice of cheesecake…

(Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake - $6.90)

Both cheesecakes were pleasantly yummy, though I felt the Strawberry Oreo stood out with its slight tartness which nicely complemented the cocoa, creamy oreo bits

Foodwise, Papilles was definitely satisfied and the ambience held a calming, serene aura from the eclectic collection of Victorian frames, miniature statues and chandeliers. My only grouse lies with their house-rule which insists that all customers order at least one item each; just make sure your dining companion(s) loves cheesecake as much as you do
