Fruit Paradise

Good fruit tart. Desserts go well with their tea selection. We love the mango tart. It’s not too sweet. Mango blends in nicely with cheese base. Mixed berry is just so so.

Great menu for lunch or just coffee or tea with a slice of cake.
The servers team seems understaffed, and during a lunch time full house they struggle to keep up, so be prepared to wait.
Orders are taken from iPad minis tied to the tables, so ordering directly with a few clicks is easy (if you manage to figure out that is the way to do it, since there are no instructions to guide you). Once figured out however, it’s a convenient way of ordering your food.

We went in and were seated. Once we were ready to order, none of the three employees could be found in the nearly empty and small shop that it is. So, we decided to walk up to the register and find a server to simply place our order. She refused to take our order and told us to sit and wait for her to come over. Several minutes later, still no one came to take our order. Thus, we left. Then the three employees saw us walking out and looked at us dumbfounded from behind the display cases.

Walking by the display, we couldn’t help drooling over the fruit pies. It got us. We walked in and took a seat. No one came by to greet us or even acknowledge our presence. Okay, maybe we have to order at the counter. Hubby walked up to the counter to order and was told to take a seat. 10 minutes gone by and no one came. There goes my appetite for the pretty looking pies. We walked out with three ladies standing by the display busy cleaning or rearranging their display.
They definitely lost us.

Go on. Walk by the display, and withhold your drool. I mean, look at those tarts. Those luscious, fruit-​filled, mini mountains of goodness call out to you, and it’s practically impossible to ignore the call… so I went in lah, and got some. Of course I had some accomplices, and together we demolished a slice of something called Summer Sunset — mango, strawberry and custard, and then there’s a milk pudding that disappeared pretty quick too.
Go on. Appease your dessert craving, and walk away feeling like you were good to your body. After all, there’s so much fruit in it, right???

1. Taste: Good. I had the Mango strawberry tart (which was voted #1) also happens to be one of the more expensive items (probably not worth the price). The mango was juicy & sweet. Strawberry not so much. I think I’d recommend just getting the Mango tart. The cake tasted soft and sponge like while the cream was light & fresh :) However, the tart crust could use some improvement. It was a bit too thick and not as flaky! Compare’s to Carpenters&Cook’s passion fruit tart’s crust, this cannot hold a candle!
2. Price: way overpriced! ($ 9/​piece) Especially for the quantity they give (it’s quite small).
3. Service: slow (despite it not being crowded!). It seems like only 1 lady knew how to operate the cash register correctly and pack my takeout box (which wasn’t even that complicated to fold). I am not sure why her other co-​workers 1) are not trained to operate the cash register & 2) Don’t seem like they want to assist her in packing the take-​out orders. They billed me wrongly for my simple order of 1 piece of tart. Thank God for this lady who saved the day! Then later, she had to attend to several other customers, placing their tarts in take-​out boxes. When I saw that she obviously had her hands full, I decided to ask one of her co-​workers to help her but she simply said something along the lines of «it’s ok, she’ll be done soon, she can mange».
Overall, probably will try again once in awhile. Not a hardcore fan but I did enjoy the tart.

Famous chain in Singapore for cakes. I personally like the Banana Chocolate accompanied with a Cappuccino. Quality throughout the island is good. The 3 stars is because of the service of this particular shop. Plus our tea cup was not so clean. Room for improvement.
