Asked the guy at the shop if their Pannacotta is gelatin based or done the old fashioned way but he couldn't answer me. Also asked if they use real vanilla beanb for their Pannacotta but was disappointed to learn that they don't. IMHO, the whole point of enjoying a good rich Pannacotta is for the rich vanilla and using anything other than real vanilla bean is a travesty. <BR/><BR/>Bought some Custard and Hazelnut Puffs anyway and I must say that I am not impressed. I would have to agree with the comment by Kudos too regarding the Macarons. Don't look very professionally made at all. If they really do have a good product in the macarons, I would suggest that they let paying customers sample one. Afterall, it's the taste that counts (If I'm buying them for my own consumption). <BR/><BR/>Will not be too quick to judge though as we should give them a honeymoon period to iron out any teething kinks. Will have to try a couple of other items before writing them off or spreading their good name.Scorchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-14305253734307376252009-03-24T18:11:00.000+08:002009-03-24T18:11:00.000+08:00CheekyM's Mom: Thanks for the tip!

Glad you liked the panna cotta too!<BR/><BR/>Kudos: Thanks, I have to agree the macarons did not inspire confidence (which is why I didn't try them). They looked very "homemade" and uneven. So far I've only liked Obolo's macarons in Singapore.Camemberuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606864987474618179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-3408377543429242142009-03-24T01:10:00.000+08:002009-03-24T01:10:00.000+08:00The guimauves are a tat artificial-tasting to me, ...The guimauves are a tat artificial-tasting to me, seems like flavourings and compounds are used (tried lemon and rose). Tiramisu lacked liquer taste. One thing I have to say is the macarons are totally disappointing, considering Obolo is just 2 minutes away. Don't know if it's just me, but there are quite a number of places selling really unauthentic macarons nowadays in Singapore (usually at a cheaper price - shall not name them, some of you may know), find it kinda misleading for foodies whom have yet to try them from Paris or Tokyo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-89575805244426606272009-03-22T21:34:00.000+08:002009-03-22T21:34:00.000+08:00Hi there :)I tried the Strawberry Panna Cotta n lo...Hi there :)<BR/><BR/>I tried the Strawberry Panna Cotta n loved it too.

That only makes us more enthusiastic about finding new products and recipes to entice even our own palates!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thought i'll drop by and let you guys know that the Guimauves are in! We've Green Tea, Rose, Lavender and Lemon flavours. Our chef actually tried a new variation in his recipe. He filled the lemon Guimauves with zesty lemon fillings. <BR/><BR/>We hope you can give us some feedbacks on them so we can keep improving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-5855932521949840522009-03-14T18:32:00.000+08:002009-03-14T18:32:00.000+08:00hello!
