All Things yummy!

Hello!

Been missing for quite awhile as i'm not really allowed to touch the computer. D: The only Internet access i've got is via my iPhone. And mostly active on Facebook or Twitter.

But! Today everyone's out. So i get the whole house, and most of all THE COMPUTER to myself hohohoho!

Shall update this dead man's blog with a food/ cafe review!

*PS: In relating to my previous post, i didn't went for AFA. :C Therefore shall save my cosplay plans for later events. That is, if i am able to attend sighs.

So at one of my previous posts, i blogged about my trip to Penang and i stumbled upon a lovely cafe there!



So cute right! Even the signboard is pretty! :3

Macaron Cafe is located inside a shopping mall. Not only do they sell their renowned macarons, they do sell some other delicious cakes and pastries too! Since i didn't have the chance to sit down and taste more of their food, i can only review about the rainbow cake and the macarons i bought from there. But i heard that their drink are not bad too! Just have to know which ones to order. (:

And the cafe has quite a calming ambiance too. Just that i feel that it's a little too dark. i personally prefer a more well-lit place to eat... And i need better lighting to snap pics of my food ! xD



Some of the things displayed near the entrance. Spot the rainbow cake!



Rilakkuma items on display! Super cute! :3





Pretty menus with French inspired designs.



Some other cakes on sale. Heard that their brownies are quote good too.

And finally...


Where they store the macarons!

They were soooooooo many to choose from! Took my sis and i awhile to choose haha.


My rainbow cake and macarons were nicely packed into this brown paper bag. Thumbs up for being very eco-friendly! (Y)



These are macarons i bought. Starting from the top left row, 2 Mochas? (i forgot the name of the flavor. >__<) , 1 Lychee, 2 Operas, 2 Bubblegums (i'm pretty sure this is the name but i'm having some doubts...), 1 Yam and 2 English Rose.

Onto my review!

Since it's my first time eating macarons, i'm quite unsure on how it's supposed to taste like lol. But i can taste that the macarons were really well made. No funny tastes or textures and all. And the fillings were really creamy. What really made me enjoy these macarons was they weren't too sweet. I love sweet stuff but stuffs that are way too sweet can turn me off. :/

Mocha doesn't really have much of a coffee taste. Tastes more chocolatey but i do taste some slight coffee.  But i still enjoy it!
Lychee was not bad. Can taste and smell the lychee flavor.
Opera was my favorite among all! Should've bought more argh! D: Has a vanilla-ish and faint chocolate taste. Enjoyed every bite! (Y)
Bubblegum really tastes like bubblegum! Like those normal bubblegums with strawberry taste.Best part is it has a bubblegum scent too! Surprisingly it wasn't overly sweet like what i thought it would be.
Yam was okay. can't really taste the yam in it but it was still good.
 English Rose was my least favorite. :C Not that it tasted horrible, i juts didn't enjoy the taste. It has a really strong potpurri-ish and sweet tea smell and you can smell it when you consume the macaron. I didn't like it cause i didn't like the scent.

I ate the macarons with my family in the car while we were driving home haha!

When we reached home, we refrigerated the rainbow cake for awhile and onto nomming it. :D



HO look at the super vibrant colors! I know it's all the food coloring but whatever! Could not be bothered. :P



 Top part of the slice was covered with pure white vanilla icing and some rainbow and star sprinkles! It was a little ruined cause of the long car ride. :C


Some cream in between each layer. And if you noticed, the part between the yellow and green layer has a slightly dark color. That's cause they applied a layer of jam onto it! If my taste buds don't fail me, i'm pretty sure it's strawberry jam.



Half gone! 



Last bite. :C

Overall, the cake was pretty delicious! Although i think the layer of jam made the cake a little sweeter but it's still great. The jam gave the cake the right amount of sweetness. :3 And the cream and icing wasn't too overly sweet and whatnot either. Basically it's a really colorful and yummy vanilla cake! 

Do head over to Macaron Cafe at Gurney Plaza to give it a try! If i'm able to go back to Penang, will definitely stop by and really sit down and enjoy the food they serve. (:
