Chocolate truffle cake and Colourful lamingtons @ Pacific Coffee

I love trying new things at Pacific coffee, so far I have tried their summer coolers such as the Cranberry and mixed berry, and the Cranberry and strawberry.

I tried the mixed berry one first, a bit of disappointed, the berry taste was a bit fake. The strawberry one was better, not that artificial. But in general the Chillinos served at Pacific coffee consists primarily of crushed ice and syrup. It doesn’t taste milky. It tastes Ok when you drink it immediately, but as I can’t, I drink it slowly, but when you leave it for a while, the ice and the liquid separates, so your left with flavoured watery liquid at the bottom.

The next thing I tried were the colourful Lamingtons, cube shaped sponged cakes, with cream in the middle, dipped in shredded coconut.
I think there are 8 flavours, passion (orange), mango (orange), blood orange (red), blackcurrent (purple), apple (green), guava (pink), chocolate, coffee (both brown.

The texture of the Lamingtons are nice and soft, with light cream oozing from the centre, the coconut is light and fresh, and not dry due to being in the fridge too long.

The lastest cake I tried was the Chocolate Truffle cake, I was expecting a rich thick centre, but I was greeted with crunchy chocolate in the middle.
There was lots of chocolate mousse on the outside, not the bitter tasting one.
But overall it tasted OK.

Hazelnut falls @ McCafe

Went to try McCafe's autumn falls selection, so tried the hazelnut cake and a hazelnut lamington.

Hazelnut lamington: lacked hazelnut taste, especially the coating, it tasted more like coffee, the paste in the middle was rather thick, and could only taste a faint hint of hazelnut.

Hazelnut cake: overly too sweet, hard sweet biscuit base, and biscuit nuggets at the top.
Also lacked hazelnut taste, and because the rest of the components were overly sweet, covering the taste of hazelnut.

Saint Honore Cake Shop's Chocolate Lamington

There were two flavours for the Lamingtons at Saint Honore's cake shop: Lemon or Chocolate.

I got the chocolate lamington which costs $4.

The usual Lamingtons are shaped like a cube.
However the shape of Saint Honore's one was not a cube, it was a rectangular cuboid, the only advantage your getting is that you are getting more.

The Lamington tasted quite nice, it was moist and soft.
The outside of the lamington was covered in dessicated coconut.
The outermost layers of the sponge was really moist because it was dipped in chocolate sauce to adhere the dessicated coconuts.
