Wandering Fel

...okay, Emma! 

Since we have been given encouragement from Emma Stone so I am gonna share the three best red velvet dishes which I have eaten so far in Singapore. If you are a fan of red velvet, you should give all of them a try at least once. Curious? Let's jump! 

1. Red Velvet Cupcake

Twelve Cupcakes is really making a storm when they are just opened in Singapore. It seems that everyone went crazy over cupcakes where it is common to see long snaking queue at each branch of Twelve Cupcakes. Each customer usually buys a dozen of cupcakes I start to wonder can someone really eat so many cupcakes? Hahaha. But then again, they may buy for a big family or big group of friends or colleagues, I should not jump to conclusion that fast. Having seen the popularity of Twelve Cupcakes, one have to wonder how good is these cupcakes. The red velvet cupcake in particular is one of the most popular cupcake in Twelve Cupcakes. My colleague gave me one on his last day in office and oh boy, it really tastes good (and I seldom give praise for cupcake). Twelve Cupcakes are located in various major shopping centres like Vivo City, 313 Somerset and Bugis Junction so you will be able to spot them easily during your shopping trip in Singapore.

2. Red Velvet Cake

Dean & Deluca came to Singapore few years back and everyone went hoo-ha because the brand is well-known in the US. It sells a lot of brunch items and desserts on its menu. The red velvet cake, in particular, taste pretty good in my book because it has a hint of coconut taste which goes well with the cream cheese and red velvet sponge. Dean & Deluca is situated at Orchard Central and Far East Square (near Telok Ayer MRT Station). 

3. Red Velvet Waffle

I have to say that the most unique creation of red velvet-based dish that I have ever seen is the red velvet waffle offered by Stateland Cafe. This cafe is situated in Bali Lane, which is within few minutes of walking distance from Bugis MRT. It is not easy to get a table in Stateland because the cafe is not that big but if you manage to secure yourself a table, you must give their Red Velvet Waffle a try. It taste so yummy (and sinful too) but it's better to share this dish with a friend. 

It was having a one-for-one cakes promotion if you are paying with UOB cards last October, so we had valid reason to order two cakes without being judged as glutton. Haha kidding, nobody would care actually. We ordered a slice of chocolate cake and a slice of red velvet cake. I could not remember the exact price but I think the cakes at Dean & Deluca costs 9 bucks on average.

The Chocolate Cake is very moist and well, chocolatey. Haha is there such a word? It tastes pretty rich and you will love it if you are a chocolate lover. 

Dean & Deluca sells one the best red velvet cake I have ever tasted. Red velvet cake uses a lot of coloring so I seldom order one. But the one sold at Dean & Deluca have a very nice taste when combined with the cream cheese and a bit of coconut. Worth the coloring I suppose? Hahaha.

If you want to try other cakes at Dean & Deluca, it also has the instagram-worthy Rainbow Cake (which was not available that day) which tastes pretty good. Another all time favourite cake from Dean & Deluca would be the Strawberry Short Cake which is filled with a lot of strawberries. Other than desserts, Dean & Deluca is also pretty well known for its all day brunch items so you may want to give their brunch menu a try. Dean & Deluca has another branch at Orchard Central too. 

My friend brought me to Jonas the Grocer which is located inside Mandarin Gallery. For a second I thought she brought me here to buy groceries.

But this place is actually a grocer/ a cafe, oh wow. That's kinda interesting. 

For a starter, we ordered tapas to share. We chose to order chorizo sausages. Taste too salty for my liking. =S

Other than the tapas, we also ordered Portobello Mushroom with Salad. Because it looks interesting. That, and we are fans of mushroom. And yes, they are tasty.

For the mains, we ordered Coq Au Vin and yes, none of us know what is Coq Au Vin. Luckily the menu comes with description. Which is basically chicken cooked in wine plus some veggies including, yes, you guessed it, mushrooms. So-so only. 

Nothing is complete without a dessert. And to share the sin, we ordered a slice of red velvet cake. Their red velvet is pretty yummy. We like it. <3

If you happened to be in Singapore and want to visit this grocer/cafe, you can ride the MRT and go to Somerset MRT Station. Walk towards Mandarin Gallery and go to level 4. No reservation is required as we didn't make any booking before we came here. =)
