Scrumptious Cafe

Most time we really shouldn't believe everything a blog says; always take it with a pinch of salt cos everyone has different taste buds.

Recommendation from some blogs brought us here to the cafe at Turf City while doing some grocery shopping in Gaint supermart.

Cafe Latte ($4) & Lemon Meringue Pie ($5.90)

Its Cafe Latte which everybody endorsed on was but a very average fare in which you could taste more milk than coffee.

While you could argue that this should be so as a latte is typically prepared with only approximately one third espresso and two-thirds steamed milk, well, we have tasted better Latte. The ones here can be easily forgotten.

And without our knowledge that Meringue is actually a dessert made from whipped egg whites and caster sugar that are extremely sweet - we much regret our choice.

The lemon curd filling is intolerably sweet even for sweet-toothed person like me. The light and airy meringue topping was refreshing but still sweet. So we ended up just finishing the pastry base crust.

This may most probably be our last here. But at least we got to taste a dessert from the 19th century that left a long lasting impression on us :)
