Maple honey toast @ Urban Bakery

I know this place is famous for croissants but I will save this option for later when I get bored.
Long queue

I came here and got the Maple honey toast.
They also had peanut butter toast.
When I paid I saw these delicious Hairy crab croissants for $100, but they only sell 5 per day and they have already met that quota.
The cost for those five croissants at $500 is worth around 42 of their normal croissants at $12 each!
But I must say they do look delicious and there is a lot of crab in it.

Maple honey toast:
The toast was more buttery than I expected and on the thick toast you could see that it was buttered really heavily.
The toast itself was salty and the maple syrup on the surface which got crystallized tasted really nice together.
The toast was crispy with a chewy centre and it was partially cut into squares making it easier to eat.

Keep the rolls rolling! @ Roll

Cute shop located on Granville Road, came here especially to try their Swiss rolls.

Luckily they had mini sized rolls so I could try more flavours and eat there too, or I would be annoyed carrying them about in the shop till u drop area!

For Swiss rolls, they had the following flavours: vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, chocolate banana, maple syrup, green tea, earl grey, coffee, chestnut and a seasonal flavour.

I chose earl grey, maple syrup and chocolate banana as the rest were a bit common and you can guess roughly how it would taste like.

All the rolls were soft with fresh cream inside, proper fresh cream, not the fake butter salted cream in maxims.

Maple syrup: the maple syrup wasn’t that strong or too sweet.
Chocolate banana: slightly strong in cocoa taste with fresh pieces of banana.
Earl grey: this was the best, I was expecting the sponge to be earl grey flavoured, but the filling inside was earl grey, it was like a creme sauce, with fresh grassy taste to it.

Then I contemplated on whether I was going to try the Macarons or not, in the end I decided too.
My first macaron was from some shop at Harbour City, which was awfully sweet, and after that I assumed all macarons were like that.

Anyway, I decided to try the raspberry and lychee, raspberry being the traditional one, and lychee as its flavour is very delicate yet fragrant.
Both macarons had a very crumbly texture with an almost thick filling inside that adhered the marcaron together when you ate it. The macaron was very nutty with nutty pieces in it and not overly sweet that you’re screaming for water.
Overall Lychee was the best, as neither of its components overpowered each other.

Cute Japanese puddings @ Wasakuraya

Nearly missed this shop while I was walking down the street, anyway there was so much choice it was hard choosing which desserts to have.
The only dislikes were that it was take out only.

Luckily half the selection was Green tea, sesame, red beans etc, so that cut down my choice by half, in the end I picked the grapefruit jelly with pineapple stars, Premium custard pudding with vanilla seeds and the plain custard pudding with maple syrup.

Grapefruit jelly:
This was the best and most refreshing, not too sweet, and contained a lot of grapefruit pulp in it as well as real pressed out pineapple star shapes.
The jelly was sloppier than the usual firm jelly

Premium custard pudding:
Reminded me of Easter, probably because of the coloured pieces on the top.
Very smooth and creamy pudding with generous vanilla seeds in it.

Plain custard pudding with maple syrup:
Tasted similar to the premium pudding, however the syrup helped enhanced it by taking out the eggyness in taste.

As well as the taste, the packaging, box and bag were nice too.
Next time I will try the strawberry chocolate pudding.
 Lastly I really want to try the sweet potato pudding which was not available last time.
