Homemade Strawberry Yoghurt Cheese Cake

When you read the words "Homemade", you must have jumped to the conclusion that I was the one responsible for the making of the cake, right?

Well, if you've read my blog long enough, you'll realize that ermmm...yours truly is not a fan of cooking and will never be a master of cooking either =P
I am just one pickyeater who is really fussy about what I eat and how it tastes like.
I don't criticize on the way the food is prepared or whether the chef is good, etc...my reviews and comments are purely based on how it tasted to me, and it may not be agreeable to anyone else (as most of the floggers have already know =)

This post is dedicated to one of my close girl friends who have since succumbed to her love for baking and the little oven she has at home. She delights in learning and baking a new recipe or two when she has the free time and shares with the bunch of girl friends like us =)

This is her newest creation; the Strawberry Yoghurt Cheese Cake

Lovely, ain't it...with the colorful exterior, I am sure it will tempt even those who are not fond of desserts/sweet things...like me =)

There are four layers in this cake; the red is the strawberry puree kinda concoction; followed by the pink strawberry yoghurt, then the cheese, and the last one is the crispy brownie-like crust.

I am not familiar with baking but I reckon that layers like these would be rather time-consuming and requires a fair amount of patience to succeed, right?


What do you think, baker-lovers? =)

Lovely ambience but food-wise...not so wise...

I couldn't believe that I was not aware of this place in 1U until I heard it from my good friend.
Well, guess I seldom walk through these alleys or it's been a while since I have done my shopping in 1U?
Either way, I was awed by the LOVELY, and I mean really lovely/awesome/wonderful/serene, etc...all the adjectives I could use to describe the settings of this little restaurant tucked away in the corner of the new wing on the ground floor.


It feels like a homely garden and to a certain extent, it even reminds me of the gardens in Babylon..LOL!



Even the lighting is just so soft and it all makes the ambience LOVELY! (this must be the highest number of times I have used the word Lovely in one article =P )

If you are interested in their designs/ensemble, you can choose to purchase their flowers, pots, vases, etc.

However, they don't come cheap...or at least to me =)

On the table where I was seated, there is lovely pot of lavenders


All the lovely atmosphere makes me go awwwww so much that I almost forgot about the food and anyway, the food along with the ambience, should make this a memorable meal, right?

The prices of their set lunches are reasonable; estimated around RM14.90++ onwards and each comes with a drink (choice of Iced Lemon tea or Coffee/Tea) and a soup.

The Iced Lemon tea came in a unique little jug like this. I thought it was something like the Fruit cocktail served in Winter Warmers when I saw these being served to other tables earlier.


The soup of the day was tomato broth

It was really diluted; even for a non-soup fan like myself and I find myself wondering, is this really tomato-based?

Next comes the food...
My classmate ordered the Black Pepper Chicken cutlet

It looks pretty good although the portion is just not proportionate to the size of the plate.
Taste-wise, I think he said it was on the average

As for my other classmate and me, we both ordered the Butter Lemon Fish which was basically dory fish fillets as expected
What we didn't expect was this...

We both asked for the sauce to be served separately and erm....this definitely does not look appetizing to me at all, nice ambience or not!
No amount of soft lighting is going to hide the fact that this looks like chunks of stuffs being served to your pet!



Needless to say, I was totally disappointed in the quality of the food served here...and even though the ambience is really nice, I doubt I will really go back for the food.
What say you?
