To make her dream come true, I decided to bring her to Encore Patisserie Cafe after we had Mother's Day celebration dinner at Nihon Kai.
The reason why I choose Encore is the location and review in the internet.
Encore is located at Taman Bukit Desa which nearby Nihon Kai.
And also many people gave good review and suggested people to have a try.
Once step into the coffee shop, I saw a wall with simple photo frames decoration and plain color furniture.
Then we chose to sit in sofa area which is not showing in any photos. (Ps. the lighting is not good enough for indoor photo taking unless you have own softbox or apply photoshoot afterward)
Besides that lighting not so nice, the pastry and coffee are not as good as those reviews in internet.
Or maybe I am so unlucky to choose a wrong timing to visit this cafe.
Well.. The wrong timing I means is the barista and baker possibly in a bad mood when preparing the food and beverages.
Don't waste time to writing so much. We just view the photos and comments I gave in below.
Salted Caramel Latte - the taste and smell is not bad, but unfortunately the decoration is really spoiled the image of the coffee.
Hot Mocha - firstly I thought the decoration is sunrise but lastly I realized they are just simply pour the cocoa powder on top of milk foam. Anyway the taste is just ok, not so impressed me.
Hot Cappuccino - Again !!! Simply using the cocoa powder. I really could not stand this lousy decoration. If really can't make it nice, please do not tell that premium coffee is served here.
Jasmine Green Tea (1pax) - fine~ this is the one no need any decoration at all. So no comment =_='''
Scones with Fresh Cream and Jam - the scones are hard to bite, especially when you wanna cut the middle partially horizontally, the scones is direct break into 2. Strawberry jam is packaging items and it is not fresh at all because the jam is in solid form and you can take out with 1 fork and it still maintain the shape as the container after few minutes (make me feel like the jam is going expired soon). Cream is fresh and not oily (the one and only thing I like in this set of dessert).
Lemon Tart - I picked this among all tarts because I don't feel like to eat heavy taste dessert during drinking coffee. But the bottom of the tart is hard until can't break it by using spoon and fork, hence I have to eat it by hold it with my hands. The lemon taste custard is over sour and the top part already dry and have around 3mm thickness jelly-form skin. Can't imagine how long the tart stay in the fridge.
Well... I would definitely not revisit this cafe.
It is awesomely disappointing.
