Fruit Paradise
October 12, 2009Synn and I have actually tried quite a few of their tarts till date, but I just never got round to posting pictures of these yummy treats.
Located at the by-now-not-so-new Tampines 1, these tarts often sell out quickly when they hit the shelves, which is surprising since these things don’t come cheap.
Priced at (I think) $7.50 a slice, it’s a lot to pay for a unhealthy dose of fresh cream (I see dead carbs, they’re everywhere!), a sliver of sponge and a generous enough topping.
Having tried almost their whole range, I think it’s safe to say that our unanimous favourite has got to be the Grapefruit and Orange flavour, teehee.
Precision handcut with a hot knife (see to believe), the look of concentration on the staff doing the deed is almost comical. They dip the knife in hot water, do a mental count (of god knows what) and cut. The serving staff even do a nice syrup art on the plate before you get it. Kewl.
Coming in a distant second, would have to be the Mango flavour.
Honestly, I don’t see why there’s even a craze over these tarts. Yes, they’re good, but they’re not great. I would say if these had more sponge in them, it be a lot better. They’ve got everything else down pat: presentation, portions, taste, etc.
The irony is that the sponge is nice and fluffy, and should feature more instead of the cream.
3.5/5 in my opinion.

October 10, 2009Ten things my 17 month old son has taught me:
1. Subway meal > Big Breakfast > fish porridge.
2. The Eensy Weensy Spider looks like two index fingers touching each other.
3. When dragged in a direction not to liking, lie on the floor. Really still. And enable Poker Face Mode.
4. Water-skiing Floor-skiing is hilarious.
5. Strawberry toothpaste is yummy.
6. So is Daddy’s finger.
7. Successfully getting rubbish into the chute calls for self-applause.
8. So does succesfully getting the lift buttons to light up.
9. A toddler learning to jump resembles a chicken trying to take flight. (Yes, Synn and I are hard at work trying to capture a video of said flying jumping.)
10. A handphone is literally that. (Yes, we need a video of this as well.)

And my favourite type of clips showcasing guest appearances:
I think this is the start of a long relationship with Sesame Street online, tee hee. I hope Tristan likes this as much as we do.
