Canele

We met up with a friend recently, someone whom we had not seen for about 2 years. She is someone who always patronise these "non-contemporary" cafes. Yep, no boring TCC or Coffee Club.

So we followed her to Canele at Raffles City Shopping Center. Dinner was nothing fantastic. Service wasn't that good. It was slow and somehow, u don't really feel welcome there ...

Since this is a so-called pâtisserie, of coure we must try the cakes. We ordered a Gateaux Chocolate, Tiramisu and cheese cake.

The cheese cake wasn't outstanding ... both in terms of taste and outlook ... what do you expect a cheese cake to look like ... ?

The Gateaux Chocolate looks rich. I thought I must have it. Disappointing ... I guess it boils down to personal preference. I would prefer a more moist texture. Too creamy, doesn't melt in the mouth.



The Tiramisu is much better.



It is at this moment that our friend mentioned that she like the Starbucks tiramisu, the one where it was still served in a cup. Apparently, that was supplied by Dome.


(This pic doesn't do justice to its goodness)

Starbucks supplier of cakes has since changed to Bakerzin, no wonder you can get Chocolate Amer at Starbucks now. The tiramisu isn't as good. Well, there's always a trade-off.
