We wanted to visit Mad by Sucre, but ended up here because of Mad by Sucre's 1 drink 1 cake policy was ridiculous. Business owners are entitled to set whatever rules they want - but such rule of forcing their consumers to purchase will drive people away. Epiphyte on the other hand, may not be as popular but at least they welcomed us without any silly rule.

Terrarium ($13++)

Very beautiful dessert but it tasted quite oddly strange, which I can't really compare this to anything else. The cake is very spongy and absorbed the artificial green colouring which I did not enjoy. I'll say it's just pretty to take photos but taste is not my cup of tea.

Galaxy Cake ($10++)

Beautiful and shiny cake - mostly cream inside. Light and fluffy which is great for tea. It's beautiful and totally reminds me of Space, but it is not something I'll order the second time.

Since it was already late afternoon on a Sunday, the staff (or was it owner?) offered us a free cheesecake, on top of our existing order. It was really nice of him.

Which turns out to be my favourite of all!!! This fluffy white pillow looking cheesecake is infused with WHISKY! It was totally a spot on - whisky was surprisingly super strong, and yet still able to taste the fluffy cheesecake! The cake itself is not very sweet which was perfect for us - even those who dislikes dessert, actually enjoyed it!

Whisky Jewel ($8++)

They also serve savoury food too, but we did not try as we came right after lunch. Check out their popular pink risotto rice if you have a chance... the pink is from beetroot and not articial colouring!

Likes: Cute and reasonably priced cakes. Cheesecake is a must! Staffs are very friendly too!

Dislikes: Nothing at the moment

Epiphyte on Facebook

Out of the States, you can only find this in UK & Japan. I woke up super early for this, as I was not keen to queue for it...

Expect to see other pastries along the way too..

Their pastries are so pretty, I wish I had room for everything!

As I visited the cafe in London, I picked the Paris-London.

Frozen S'mores (£7.20)

This has got to be my favourite for the day!!! Torched, soft and fluffy marshmellow wrapped around Tahitian vanilla ice cream that's still frozen inside... Every bite is super heavenly!

Cronut of the Month : Mandarin Jam with Valhorna Tivara & Milk Chocolate Ganache (£4)

Did not really like the cronut in London as compared to NYC - was not as flakey... It just had the texture of a donut more like it.

Paris London (£7.50)

Earl grey mousse and lemon curd - no ladies can resist lemon curd! At least the people that I know.

Likes: Very "Instagrammable", picture worthy, beautiful pastries, convenient. Will definitely be back for pastries

Dislikes: Not cheap - a standard pastry would cost you at least £6 each, and even more if you dine in. Cronut is not as perfect as New York's version. Will definitely not order the cronut again

Instead of standing and eating street food at Nishiki Market, we went to this cafe at the end of the street, just few doors away from BAKE Kyoto.

I thought their Matcha Latte to be pretty awesome - smooth and not very creamy. Just that warm drink I needed after walking in the cold...

Likes: Simple and convenient, not as mainstream as Starbucks.

Dislikes: I thought my latte was great so nothing that I dislike.

We found this placec by accident - we just wanted a place to sit down and have cakes and coffee.

This place is just 2 minutes walk from Kuromon Ichiba Market. They seem to be packed even after 9.30pm so I'm guessing this cafe must be alright.

We ordered strawberry cake and tea, boy they actually put a whole strawberry in it!! The cake was a little dry though. Of course, a cup of coffee as we sat right in front of where they made the coffee, don't think anyone can hold that temptation!

Likes: Simple and convenient.

Dislikes: Probably nothing that special for a visit, just a drink would do.

We got ourselves some Magnum Ice cream for IWD!

Literally a lot of it, all for the ladies in the Call Centre!

Happy International Women's Day, and thank you Grab for delivering it! :)
