if only kenneth was more efficient in passing photos to me,then i'd be a much much happier girl.lalala~

if you frequent cathay cineplex as often as i do,you'd notice a whimsical dessert cafe to the left of the carpark entrance.i've always wanted to give tt place a shot,but inevitably lacked the opportunity.
so one night after watching j&j,kenneth allowed us to have a late dinner there.yay!
1 caramel is a (somewhat) newly opened cafe between ps and cathay cineplex.it's always pretty crowded when i go past it so i suppose pple like the food there,no?when we entered the front,i realised tt the premises was relatively small,hence the extension of alfresco seating which wasn't there previously.i was inclined to being indoors so i readily indicated my preference once greeted pretty quickly by the waitress.service man fen!hen hao!
whilst browsing thru the menu,i was delightfully surprised by 1 caramel's offering.cos apart from sweets,they actually have a small selection of savoury food.it's a good thing for them cos then they target more than dessert lovers.kenneth and i settled for(wat i think was called)a tuna melt to share before hitting the desserts.
as you can see from the collage above,we ordered 3 cakes after tt-strawberry shortcake,peanut butter chocolate and lychee rose.yum.they were served on big white plates(i like) tt had fancy chocolate drawings done on them.each plate had a different design so tt was pretty cool.i also enjoyed the entire process of ordering the cakes!they were all placed in a display cupboard prettily for your perusal and picking.much like shopping in a jewellery store-very very fun.
well,the tuna melt was good.but tt's a safe choice,if you asked me.from the foto,you'd see tt it came with olives and tt threw me off a leetle cos i've never reallie been fond of olives.but i decided to wing it with each bite of the sandwich.surprisingly,they complemented the taste of tuna.thank goodness then.i did enjoy the potatoes+salad on the side more.it's a pity tt there was so leetle.the cakes,however,were not as satisfactory as i would have liked them to be.they were yummy,dun misunderstand.but i think we can get better tasting cakes(for the price you pay) elsewhere.
all in all,this place is a try-if-you-pass-by-and-need-a-place-to-chill.cos apart from starbucks and b&j which are almost always crowded,cathay doesn't have chillax-ative areas to hang out.perhaps tt's why 1 caramel's sooo crowded all the time.howbeit,i do think the decor of the cafe deserves some brownie points.there was just a cosy touch within its elegance,which makes this a great date or girlfrens-sitting-ard-to-rest-after-day-of-shopping place.i also especially liked their seats(tt you see kenneth on in foto below)cos their tall backrests thingys reminded me of tweety bird's cage ride in disneyland.haha.
a very novel concept,with the mood 1 caramel's trying to create.and with good service too!now they just have to better the standard of their food.i do hope they'll be here to stay though cos we have such few quaint dessert cafes ard.i
may go back to try some of their other cakes if i'm in the vicinity and need a sugar-rush.alrighty,will end off with a candid shot of kenneth(hoho) and my very pleased pose with the three cakes.
ps.names of dishes may not be entirely accurate cos this entry is gravely overdue.
