Maison Sucree Bakery-beautiful lemon meringue tart

Located opposite redhill mrt station under a HDB flat was this Muslim owned bakery shop selling one of the most beautiful lemon meringue tart I ever seen.

Popped by over during lunchtime and grabbed some cakes. There was some outdoor seating available and they also served coffee and other drinks.

I wana get the lemon meringue tart $7 and their signature Paris-Brest $8.50. Their chocolate salted caramel and signature carrot cake looks pretty tempting.....haha....maybe next time.

Lemon meringue tarts are my favorite! Looks too pretty to be eaten.

Besides the look, the taste is also v important. Overall, I feel that the crust is good in the sense that it’s not too soft. I don’t like soft or thin soggy crust. Even after leaving in the fridge overnight, the tart crust itself is still cookie hard. As for the lemon filling, it’s good with the strong lemon citrusy taste but will be better if the texture can be softer and smoother instead of this stiff jelly-like texture. The meringue is perfect, but it seemed to slide off the lemon filling when I cut into it. In fact, the entire rose meringue can be lifted off the tart as it does not seem to gel well with the jelly-like lemon filling. Oh well, I hope they can improve it further. Anyway, for the price of $7, it’s pretty decent.

Nevertheless, the quest for the perfect lemon meringue tart continues.....

Sofi Cafe Pizza-Italian & keto friendly

Located in an alleyway along Tanjong pagar was this quiet and quaint cafe selling pizza, pasta and keto-friendly food. 

Like the ambience of the place as it was like a quiet hidden cafe with nice homely decoration.

Accidentally discovered this cafe one day while passing by and was attracted by the entrance. There was some outdoor seating available, and the place would look especially nice at night with the lighting.

Ordered the margarita classic pizza $18 and the sofi big breakfast $19.

There was a choice of which style of eggs preferred and between multi grain, brioche or sour dough bread. Glad I choose the sour dough coz it tasted so good, v crispy on the outside, chewy inside with a light buttery spread. The scrambled egg had a touch of truffle flavor which was just right. Bacon was crispy and the mushroom was flavorful. Definitely a must order as it was also recommended on the menu. 

Pizza was surprisingly huge and can feed 3-4 people. The pizza dough was thin and crispy with an oven baked aroma. We could actually finished it between me and my hubby as their thin dough like crust made it less filling than normal Pizza Hut pizza.

To end it off, we ordered their homemade tiramisu $13.50 which was recommended on the menu.
It was good with a strong taste of rum. However, for the price of $13.50, I felt it was too expensive for such a small slice of cake!? Anyway, we were curious and wana try it out for the first time. But for $13.50, it wasn’t good enough to wow us to try another time.
