Sweet Nibbles (Part 1): I love Cream puffs

May 24, 2009 | 22 Comments

I have a sweet tooth

Contrary to normal beliefs that guys don’t like sweet stuff, I, for one, however proved to be the complete opposite. I like things that make me happy; food that can cheer me up, the happily-ever-after fairytale-like stories, and naturally, sweet nibbles that I always crave for.

The lady took one, from the pile of mountain-stacked high; this was the one destined for me. Poking a hole into the bottom by tucking it in, she pressed the pump; the lovely custard swam into the tiny hole, just big enough, for everything to flow inside.

Dusted with some icing sugar; it was akin like putting on the make-up for the pretty. I was excited by the sticking in and out, with each done, I could barely hide my excitement. And she repeated this process, six times in total.

Do not, I repeat, Do not (note: in bold), share your sweets around, they are not meant to be shared. What’s the point of passing them around, only to feel slightly agonizing over the fact that you are going to have less for yourself?

Stop staring at my cream puff. They are mine, and mine alone.

This, will come down as, one of the toughest decision you will make in your life. Chocolate, vanilla, or strawberrry? And there’s the lovely eclair winking at me, the tiramisu trying to seduce me. It is a land, of temptations. I decided, like what seemed to take an eternity, to go for just half-a-dozen with the chocolate and vanilla flavours. The rest, are my excuses for coming back next time.

And I regretted just getting six.

Fatkuraprincess: haha i agree! i been to wild rocket once for desserts, and recently for brunch. Their desconstructed cheesecake and tiramisu is nice, i had the black squid ink risotto which was good too. Wild rocket burger, the laksa pesto is also their speciality.

Matidla: One? How can you have just one? must have at least a dozen ma!

Tampopo’s fussy though.. There will be a staff that walks around, taking orders for the cream puffs because if your name isn’t on the list, you’ll miss out! So you need to pester the staff to make sure that your name is on the list.

Try the custard pudding if you’re at tampopo as well!
