Tiramisu S$5
Matcha Azuki S$4.50
Apple Cinnamon S$4
Dark Chocolate S$4.50
Raspberry S$5
Lemon Meringue S$4
Vanilla S$4


These pretty little choux are 5cm in diameter, there are also mini choux (3cm diameter) that comes in a platter of 7 for S$21. 

My favourite is Lemon Meringue, the perfect sourish lemon curd and sweet meringue. 

I feel that the Matcha Azuki is not strong enough, I prefer those matcha that is of slightly bitter and stronger in taste. 

Dark chocolate on the other hand is very rich. 

Vanilla is decent and a safe choice. 

Sissy J loves the apple cinnamon which I find that it's pretty good too.

I See i See's first international outlet opened in Singapore a few days back on 12th March 2016. Its founded in May 2015 and currently had 5 outlets in Hong Kong. 

Using top quality ingredients for its fruit and milk-based ice pops, there is no added preservatives or colourings in them and they are all handcrafted by an ice pop artist in small batches so no ice pops are alike. Freezing of the ice pops only takes 20 to 30 minutes by a quick-freeze method, which results in extremely fine crystals and a feathery snow-like texture.

Ending September with a sweet post! Now comes the dreadful October, I hope it will be over in no time. October is suppose to be the month where I wear my bridal gown, walking down the aisle with my husband and everything is supposed to be as magical as ever, however it is not going to happen.  October is also a month where so many people are getting married, I will just have to endure, and look through the beautiful happily-ever-after pictures of my friends', and of course giving them my blessings even though nothing works out for me.

Back to food!

I have been seeing lots of this pretty eclairs pictures all over my instagram. Ian, Pauline, Shirley and I wanted to come here on Polling day but it was closed, so finally we came here on a lovely Sunday afternoon.

ICED LATTE S$6.50

Every iced milk drinks come with ice cream, so do let them know if you prefer not to have ice cream. Of course we want ours with ice cream! 

It is pretty good, only downside is that its such a small glass for S$6.50.

 photo file_zpsaad20ab6.jpg
GREEN TEA LATTE S$5.50

Bought this off Sugar App at S$1.40! Out of the 3 times here at The Assembly Ground, I think I could conclude that the Green Tea Latte here is rather inconsistent. All 3 times tasted different. The sweetness & bitterness tasted different for all 3 times.

SALTED CARAMEL TEA CAKE WITH WALNUTS

This is my personal favourite among the 4!

An indulgent and heavenly salted caramel cake with crunchy walnuts that promises to pamper every palate.

Perfect as an ultimate all time dessert, drizzle with hot caramel sauce to elevate the gourmet experience. 

As the cakes are frozen, slice the cake into portions required, store the remaining frozen portions back in the freezer immediately. 
Take out the desired portions you need, thaw it at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Once defrosted, keep product chilled in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

ORANGE TEA CAKE WITH ORANGE PEEL 

This cake is tender and full of refreshing flavour with a tangy twist of orange citrus peel. 
Flavourful when eaten on its own, this Orange Tea Cake also taste great with milk chocolate buttercream or creamy lemon buttercream. Delicious and light on the taste buds, its truly a classic. 

As the cakes are frozen, slice the cake into portions required, store the remaining frozen portions back in the freezer immediately. 
Take out the desired portions you need, thaw it at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. Once defrosted, keep product chilled in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE TEA CAKE

My brother's & K's favourite!! 

A decadently indulgent and luxurious chocolate cake with loads of dark chocolate chips goodness. 

Rich & delicious on its own but if you would like, you can top your cake with some vanilla ice cream or drizzle your cake with hot chocolate sauce. Perfect for the sweet end of your dinner party.

 photo file_zps4fd5f525.jpg

I don't know if you can tell by this picture, how soft is this tea cake :X But I can tell you, it is very soft and chocolatey!

 photo file_zpsed95ed26.jpg

This is what I did at home!

MINI CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

Although it is mini, the size is just right, in my opinion. 

This rich and mouth-watering mini chocolate lava cake with warm chocolate filling is the ultimate chocolate indulgence. 

A box contains 4 of these. 

Heat each cake in the microwave oven for just 15 seconds and you will get a flowing lava cake! It really flows ok! No joke.

Eggs & Berries 
Address: 1 Jurong West Central 2 Jurong Point 1 #01-32 Singapore 648886
Tel: +65 67909195 

I guess Eggs & Berries is not a new name to you already. Famous for its eggs dishes! 

Brought my friends there to the Changi Point outlet, they commented ''All dishes have eggs''. Of course, they are Eggs & Berries. :P

 photo file_zpse6f09a29.jpg

This time round, we went to the Jurong Point's newly opened Eggs & Berries. They are located right beside Mcdonalds and heard that they took over Delifrance. 

 photo file_zps9d1faa34.jpg

Had always love the clean & cheerful layout of the restaurant.

 photo file_zps3b242056.jpg

Breads, cakes & puddings on display! They also have breads selling at Changi City Point's outlet!

DRINKS

 photo file_zps02292334.jpg
NUTS ABOUT? S$6.50

Chocolate, 3 types of nuts, vanilla. Expect this to taste like richer, but not exactly. 

 photo file_zps1341b353.jpg
STRAWBERRY MANGO TEA S$5.90

 photo file_zps74523c68.jpg

It actually didn't taste quite like a mint drink, its more like teadox. 

 photo file_zps1cf22344.jpg
GREEN MOUNTAIN BEE S$6.50 

Avocado, bee pollen, vanilla. Its creamy and not too sweet. 

 photo file_zpsa4fee1a6.jpg

 photo file_zpsd909fceb.jpg
SWEET GROOVY MANGO S$6.50

The first glass tasted a little weird, thank god they changed 1 for us, and it taste much much better.

 photo file_zps6f0fb15b.jpg
GINGER FIZZ S$5.90

Not much of the fizz there, not much of ginger taste too, actually it tasted like fruit juice stall's fruit juice, with previous celery, oranges remains. 

I would say I am not impress with the drinks, thankfully the food made up for them. 


FOOD

 photo file_zps3d08d18f.jpg
TRUFFLE & MUSHROOM S$9.90

E&B Fries seasoned with sea salt, home-made mushroom powder, parmesan cheese and truffle oil. 
Quite an interesting dish of fries, unlike other truffle fries out there. Worth a try!

 photo file_zpsed6b3b9d.jpg
CAESAR SALAD S$9.90

The only salad in the menu so Reina & myself have to try! :P 



So here is actually the main reason what brought us here. 

BURGERS!!

They have 4 different burgers, beef, lamb, pork, chicken. And best of all… You can choose from 4 different colour buns to go with your patty!

Fret not, the buns are made with all natural ingredients and thus they are brimming with flavours & goodness. 

 photo file_zps424771ac.jpg
PROVENCE HERBS LAMB S$13.90  (in Turmeric Curry Bun - yellow)

Herbs marinated lamb patty, topped with sunny side up crispy bacons and pickles. Served with potato wedges and mixed greens.

Know the meaning of divine pairing with this burger. The aromatic herb-marinated lamb patty is enlivened by unctuous strips of crispy bacon.

Lamb patty was pretty good and not smelly. The yummiest bun out of the 4, can taste the curry flavour and it helps achieve good skin. 

 photo file_zps66878da7.jpg

 photo file_zpsfbe137d7.jpg

And of course every burger comes with egg! YUMS.

 photo file_zps4be0784e.jpg
PORK & SAGE with PAPRIKA S$12.90 (in Smoked Paprika & Beetroot bun - pink)

Spicy sage & smoked paprika infused pork patty, topped with sunny side up, onions, tomatoes and pickles. Served with potato wedges and mixed greens. 

This offering impresses with a spicy sage and smoked paprika-infused pork patty. The peppery paprika marries with the spiciness of the sage to bring an explosion of flavours. 

This pretty pink bun helps manage blood pressure.

 photo file_zpsb6f74647.jpg
CAJUN SPICED CHICKEN S$12.90 (in Spinach Pesto bun - green)

Grilled gourmet chicken patty infused with spicy cajun seasoning, topped with sunny side up, cheddar cheese and pickles. Serve with potato wedges and mixed greens. 

This is the burger that will quell hankerings for spicy food. The thick chicken patty is punctuated by spicy Cajun seasoning. The sharp taste of the creamy cheddar cheese adds an extra oomph. 

This spinach pesto bun helps nourishes the eyes and bones. 

 photo file_zpsdb733a79.jpg
E&B Beef & Egg Burger S$13.90 (in original bun)

14 days aged beef patty, topped with sunny side up, onions, tomatoes and pickles. SErved with potato wedges and mixed greens. 

Original bun is the energy booster! 

The burger I had at Changi CIty Point was much better than the one here tonight. 

 photo file_zps6b20b590.jpg

 photo file_zps645d9803.jpg

The same beef burger in pink bun, as they had run out of Charcoal Bun.

 photo file_zps4c380ced.jpg
Eggs & Berries Eggs Benedict Doppio S$16.90

2 poached eggs, english muffins, bacons honey ham and hash brown. 

 photo file_zps63f7b816.jpg

Love the fact that every egg flows! No disappointing egg porn here! 

 photo file_zpsb493a2b3.jpg
EGG & MUSHROOMS S$16.90

Sunny Side up, button and shitake mushrooms, toasted brioche, hash brown & mixed greens.

 photo file_zpsc6c878ff.jpg

 photo file_zps615d27ef.jpg
AGLIO OLIO KING RIVER PRAWN S$19.90

Aglio Olio pasta, served with king river prawn, wild mushrooms, onions, bacons and melted cheese, topped with poached egg. 

The actual thing comes slightly different from the picture in the menu :( 

The prawn is a little too course, and not too fresh.


DESSERTS

 photo file_zps69481ee9.jpg
MANGO TANGO S$10.90

Mago, macadamia nuts and chocolate chips with rainbow sprinkles topped with whipped cream. 

 photo file_zps71978d71.jpg

 photo file_zpsed0d9682.jpg

 photo file_zpsdbd28d87.jpg
OVER THE RAINBOW S$15

Medley of fresh fruits, gooseberry with whipped cream. 

Overall, I feel that the desserts tonight are not impressive. Stick with the mains! Cant wait to try them all!


Thank you Eggs & Berries for having us! The service that night was great.
