Butter Studio / Sinpopo Cakes

 

Delivery was delayed by 2 hours but when the pastries and cakes arrived, the smells of freshly baked was all worth it. Lemon pound cake and lemon tart are not sour at all and full of that lemon-y flavor.

I ordered the bakers box of 6 assorted pastries and 2 tarts with freshly whipped cream meringue. There's burnt cheesecake, kouign amann (solidly soaked in sugar syrup), brownie, choco tart, 2 slices of lemon drizzle cake. Speculoos tart and Lemon tart.

Sis sent me some Chateraise cakelets. The pink peach tart taste like Han's peach tart but instead of solid peach its actually soft cream. Marshmellow choco cake, TDF! and a persimmon sponge cake for mom.

Bro sent me a whole Sinpopo gula melaka sponge cake. It's a bit like the famous Lana choco cakes in the jelly custard fillings, cool and refreshing in our hot weather. The familiar deep rich taste of coconut sugar is simple yet delicious.

Pepperoni Pizza

This is the only pizza delivery place that sells XXL oversized pizzas. It comes in classic combinations like salami above or in more Italian-style combinations. Total came up to S$120 and can feed a party of 16 people. 

One pasta we tried is the pure basil pesto fusilli with chicken and mushrooms, really fresh and light can be eaten hot or cold.

Calamari that came with 2 dipping sauces and a lemon wedge, I like that its hard and crisp batter, not much on the cilantro taste tho' made it up with the dipping sauces.

Fried chicken wings that are similar to frozen CP Chicken, fat and juicy inside with lots of seasonings.

Pepperoni pizza is a little sour, all salami I bought from Europe tastes like that. It's also not very spicy, needs the chili and cheese sprinkles. Pizza edges are really good tho', like the dough.

Heavenly Wang

This local breakfast coffeeshop franchise serves mainly kaya toast and coffee or tea. I am trying out the new menu items chili crab explosion, mentaiko blast and salted egg lava. 

Variations on the classic kaya toast are hazelnut smores kaya toast and yuzu cream cheese kaya toast.

Laksa and mee rebus are available for home delivery, in-store there is mee siam and chicken curry mee.

Hot and cold coffeeshop drinks. Actually everything came at the same temperature, no ice and also no hot vapor.

New Aroma Diffuser

 

Over Halloween I received a new aroma diffuser that is color changing, the color changing effect is really interesting in the evenings coz its like ambient lighting. With the misting effect it looks like a bubbling cauldron.

My previous electric diffuser stopped working a few years back and I didn't bother to replace it. This one automatically shuts off in 2 hours. It's a cold mist with light & natural scents so I am ok with using it every night.

I am not really a fan of perfume mixes for aroma diffusers, much prefer the straightforward scents like rose, lavender, lemongrass and so on. Like to imagine I am on vacay in Provence for lavender, Thailand for lemongrass, really relaxing.

My LG phone is dead, the entire backing came out after I dropped it. Looking for a new phone and new service provider. Haven't decided yet.

My early birthday pressie is a set of aromatherapy room sprays. I alternate this with the aromatherapy diffuser. This set has 2 types of lavender, peppermint and orange. I like the orange, very fruity.
