Manpuku @ Tampines One

my bro and i were on our way home. we talked abt food then he said next week lets go to Manpuku to have dinner and stuff. then i said, hmmm.... why not now?
simply like this, we go off the train at tampines and headed over.

surprisingly, the place was crowded on a weekday! Shiat! anyway, think the waiter thought we were gay or what, brought us to a dimly lit seat! -_- i was like 0_o" coz i was excited to take some pictures of the reknown fruit tarts here. it was highly recommended by Camembaru. anyway, i was not here to eat the mains since i heard poor reviews about 'em. explored the place abit and headed straight for the tarts counter! lol~

oh my dogs, i was spoilt for choice since there were several available for selection. i was dying to try the blueberry and i was ready to whack 2 since it was dinner! lol~ decided to take the orange and grapefruit tart over the mango one since my mum cut some mangoes for us yesterday. i was really looking forward to tasting them!!! :p

whilst waiting for my bro to come with his tamago wrapped rice with assorted fried stuff, i kept myself busy snapping away with my worthy Omnia. as i said, the lights were bad and flash's being always bad unless u're in really dark places.

I couldnt wait and when my bro returned, i started to taste them. i've gotta tell u, its really awesome. started with the orange and grapefruit tart. the taste is gooooooood! the fruits are so nice! it taste ichiban! ;p the cream is nice and it fulfills its role as a co-actor. the crust is good as it serves the finishing touch to the tart. sturdy yet crispy to hold the tart against "rough play" on it.

i was kind of disappointed with the blueberry tart. proli i was really looking forward to eating it. i think the staff left it in the open for a bit of time as compared to the other. you couldnt taste the coldness in the tart and the lower layer cream was like "melted". i was pretty turn off coz i compared the 2 tarts. i tasted the cream and compared it to see if it was the same. anyway, i will give the win to the orange and grapefruit tart. the blueberry came in second this time but hell, i would give it a second chance given the nutrition values of blueberries! law of diminishing returns sets in after i was about to finish the blueberry tart and i felt an overdose of cream.... =X

too much pastries lately..... oops~
