Palate Pleasers N Tummy Teasers

Makan Post-it (9) - Time to get Tarty! | Sep 09th 2009

Unless you’ve been living under a rock all this while, you’d have known/noticed two spanking new malls in town (which, going by papilles definition, equates to that stretch of road from Palais Renaissance to Prego’s). Sure, new shops excite me, but what mattered most were the eateries these malls hosted; new foodie ventures are always welcome

Papilles have been wanting to give this cafe a try since it hit our shores in the early part of the year, but were deterred by its location (i.e. at a far corner of our island, where there’s nothing much else to entice). Good thing the people behind this cafe had the business sense to plonk an outlet smack in the heart of town (though the same can’t be said of its location in the mall ).

Enough with the mystery, here’s what I’m talking about: 

Possibly the priciest fruit tarts ($7.80 per slice) papilles ever had:

As you can tell, these are bad stuff for weight watchers (I’ll dare say whipped cream makes up a good 70% of their tarts ) Definitely yummy, loved the tart base and how their tarts weren’t cloyingly sweet; they could be a bit more generous with the fruits though. Afterall, they’re supposed to be the Fruit Paradise

P.S. Do try their range of Gryphon Teas ($3 a pot with every tart purchased)! Light, floral or fruity (depending on your choice of tea), the subtle waft of fragrance every time you lift the cup to your lips, is reason enough to pop by

Fruit Paradise
