1-Caramel


On Christmas Day, after gym session, Sixian and I dropped by at 1-Caramel for a spot of tea! Wow, how English..... sipping English tea and nibbling cakes :)


This is my pot of Bain de Rose tea : masterfully blended TWG, this sensual Darjeeling is a magical union of extraordinary roses, hints of vanilla and sweet spices. What's not to like? I adore roses and vanilla!


I wasn't planning on having dinner that night, so i ordered this Creamy Chicken and Corn soup, served with toasted baguette.


Both of us girls shared an order of 1-Caramel 'Assiettes' - a selection of 5 petite desserts.
Top right - Espresso Creme Brulee, the classic French custard infused with Toby's Estate espresso topped with caramelised toffee crust.
Bottom three cakes were so-so, not going to elaborate on them.

This dessert that comes in a tall, martini glass is a zoom-in on the dessert on the left top corner of the Assiates. It is a 'Frozen Deconstructed Strawberry Shortcake' - comes with creamy strawberry ice cream, fresh strawberries, vanilla sponge and flaky caramelised puff pastry.
