Where art thou..

.. oh good desserts...

Last Saturday, i decided to wear the pants instead.

I brought hb to Canele at Robertson Quay wanting to try some of the country's best made desserts. Been wanting to do that for the longest time but unfortunately, their operating hours are till 11pm only. By the time the boys sleep, it'll be too late to go usually.

However, last Saturday was a lucky or rather unlucky day for us. The boys slept at 8pm sharp! So hb and i quickly made our way there after that and guess what? It was FULL house! Gggrrrr...

What's more is that the customers don't look like they were gonna budge at all, not within the next 20 minutes at least. We left disappointedly. And then, a light bulb came to the head! Mine to be exact :P

If there wasn't gonna be Canele that night, the chocolate factory will do too!

So off we hopped to the chocolate factory which was few blocks away. And guess what?
Grin. No need to guess right? It was FULL house again! *slap forehead*

Sobs. So much for the boys sleeping at 8pm. In the end, we went home with dessert-free-stomachs. Sigh. Oh well..

But seriously, it's sooo hard to find good desserts these days.

Coffee joints desserts really cannot make it anymore. We've been trying and most of the time, we didn't even eat half! Then just now, hb actually bought my fav moist chocolate cake from Secret Recipe. We didn't have that for the longest time, at least for more than a year. I only ate 1-2 mouthfuls. I then asked the husband if he would ever buy it again the future and as expected, he shook his head.

Probably now, the only place we can go is hotels? I've yet to try Hilton!

I think this is really bad. As much as i like baking, i loveeeee going out for desserts and coffee too. So if we're gonna stay being this fussy, we will have no other places to go anymore :(

p.s: don't ever try the Coffee Bean's mudcake or something like that. it's a choc cake which looks like it's to die for. After my first spoonful, i was pretty sure they use a very lousy chocolate. I don't think it was even chocolate to begin with. It was probably some lousy cocoa powder mix with liquid and voila, chocolate cake! And as for the colour, think they use lots of choco emulco to make it look as though it's really chocolate-y. I can hardly taste any real chocolate taste in it. As for the chocolate ganache, *roll eyes* ok, i better stop flaming already!

Anyway, for your own good, don't eat it okay? U really do not know what they put in there, to make the cake look so chocolate-y rich but taste like er er.. *toot*.

Oh, the cheesecake too actually. I think they shouldn't call them cheesecake anymore actually. I mean, cheese mana oi?!?!?!

Oppss.. i so bad hor? :P But really! C'mon.. we're paying $5/6++ for a slice of it. Don't shortcut until so bad lah...
