Impromptu Manpuku

Mango Strawberry Tart
met up my friend for dinner last wk. we decided to head to Manpuku since its one of my goals to "conquer" all its lovely tarts! like again, i was not going to have the mains here anyway and the main aim is the Tarts!!! i was browsing and admiring the tarts whilst making my mind on which 1 to go with :p

my friend had ramen. i was like again, busy snapping away with my worthy cam phone. iphone is really not for photo takings apart fr some impromptu pics with good lightings. otherwise, the photo quality is really ermm.... =_='''

lol~ the mango and strawberry was my pick! bundled with a camomile clear tea which wasn't my cup of tea afterall =X but the tart was as usual good with the wholesome-ness of its fruits! :) love the entire tart to its last, chatted with auntie who was cutting the tarts and preparing the "garnishes" of the plate with all that nice artistic finishes. oooolala~ the whole feel will probably drive the girls crazy! lol~

my friend had the orange and grapefruit which i didnt snap since i had an earlier entry on it already. thats still on my favourite tart list! pls go thru my earlier entry for a detailed review! :)

*i'm thinking of migrating my foodie entries to a dedicated foodie blog, do not know if i should.... do leave me some comments if you think my foodie trysts deserves a new blog or be left here on this blog itself! i'm not wimpy... =X

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~
