Secret Recipe is located at the 3rd level of Plaza Singapura. You will not missed this cafe as its situated right in the middle of the walkway. ha.
Was wondering where did all the people came from when we saw a long long queue forming right outside their cafe during national day. In the split seconds, we almost thought that they are giving away free cakes in celebration for national day. ha.
Then did we realise these cakes are not free but at a discounted rates. Yah, one whole regular cake which sells for $45 in normal days, is now selling at a shocking $26 after the 42% discount rate. That probably explains why a long queue is there.
Fear not if you cant make it for this promotion on the national day as they will be having this same promotion from mon to fri to celebrate the birthday of singapore.
Ok, we did not get the entire cakes but we did satisfy our taste bud with a small piece of raspberry cheesecake. Although this is not their signature cheesecake (marble cheesecake is their most popular cheescake), i still love this among their wide variety of cakes.
The sourish taste of the raspberry when combined with the strong cheese taste actually make the entire cake more appetising. You can easily polish up 2 slices at one go. The red raspberry is placed right on top of the cheesecake, and the colour combination actually makes the raspberry cheesecake even more appealing. ha.
If you do not like cheesecake, fear not as they have a wide range of non cheesey cake. Chocolate banana cake is one of them. Every spoonful of the cake, you will get to taste the real banana frutty. Whats more? The portion served is really huge, can really fill me up. This slice of cake is defintely value for money.
Try it!!!

I am a self declared chocolate addict, so whatever food that has chocolate in it, i will defintely love that, including milo. ha. With me so into chocolate, how can i miss this shop?
Awfully Chocolate may sound like the chocolate cake that they are selling are awful. ha. But one will never know unless they have tried it themselves. Yeah. So one fine day, i decide to just give it a try.
My very first step into the shop makes me wonder if im really in the correct place. This place has not big fridge with all the fancy cakes in it as you will find it in those typical cake shop. Funny.
Initially, i want to test out one slice of the cake, since its my first time visiting their cake shop. To my surprise, they actually do not sell their cake in slices. Instead, you have to buy the entire round cake before you can try out the taste.
There are basically 3 different flavours to choose from -- all chocolate, chocolate banana and chocolate rum and raisin. The appearance of their cakes is simple. No beautiful decoration. What you get to see its chocolate and chocolate among the layers of chocolate sponge cake.
Having seen soo much chocolate on the cake, i wonder if it will make one feel sick of chocolate. To my surprise, i did not feel sick after eating 2 slices of it. In fact, i can eat more if theres any left for me. ha.
Overall, it is a chocolate with quality. They use really good and whole lots of chocolates in their cakes which i think its really worth the price paid. Go on try it and one cake is definitely not enough.

Ok, i usually call these curry puffs as A1 curry puffs. Do not know why either but i guess A1 sound more familiar than 1A (perhaps it has something to do with the school grades). ha.
Whether is 1A or A1, i believe you all should know what i am talking about by now. Yes, its their curry puffs. They have quite abit of franchises all around singapore, most of them can be located in the central area.
Well, you may ask whats so special about this curry puffs that practically everyone is talking about it. Innovation is the key. They have came out with alot of different kinds of fillings beside the normal curry chicken filling that you will find in normal curry puffs.
They have divided their puffs into 2 different types -- sweet and savour. Can you imagine sweet fillings with curry puff crispy skin? ha. Its really abit hard to imagine unless you try it yourself.
The savour flavours include their all time favourite curry potato and chicken as well as sardines, black pepper chicken, otah, chilli crab chicken and veggie. As for their sweet fillings, they have yam, sweet corn and DURIAN!!! Yes, its our singapore durian puff.
Well, guess i still think its pretty werid to eat a curry puff skin with durain paste in it. Although their skin is super crispy and hard, their paste is very fragrant, i still love the curry potato and chicken puff. ha.
What actually amazed me is that i can actually taste the curry sauce!!! The sauce is not too watery nor too thick. Just nice when combined with the crispy puff, as it actually made the entire puff tasted not as dry.
Thumbs up for this innovation. Ohh, another thing, each of the curry puffs are nicely shaped into the pattern of 'yuan bao' which has the meaning of prosperity for chinese. Perhaps this will also bring prosperity for those who eat them. ha.

Its not difficult to know what this shop is selling. ha. Basically, they sell SHORTS. Yes, its shorts. Varieties may be limited if compared with the rest of the fashion apparels shop, as they do not include pants, dress, skirts, blouse, etc in their shopping list.
You may not be able to try the shorts or feel the material used as they do not have any outlets in singapore yet (well, this is how online shopping works). However, i am won over by the varieties of shorts (never know there are actually so many kind of shorts) and pretty cute website.
They have nine different category of shorts available. These categories include denim, smart causal, causal, more coverage, tiny weeny, attention seeker, cant go wrong and chic. They even have a category for men. So both gender can shop for shorts together. ha.
For each different shorts design, they pictured it into 3 different views. The front, the back and the far view.
The far view enables you to see how the shorts fit nicely on to the human body. Rather considerating, i can say.
Besides the normal descriptions of the shorts, they even come with very detailed mesurements for waist, hip and thigh. This is pretty different compared to some of the apparel shops who only provide the waist measurements.
Their price is also indicated for every single design and is normally below $30. Whats more? They actually included belts and sashes to complement the shorts. You can find some really specially designed belts in here too.
Overall, i think this is a rather innovative idea to buy a shorts. As they do not have to pay for rental, you can expect their prices to be rather competitive.

The first time when i saw this shop, i almost thought it was a newly set up cafe. Thats probably due to all the chalk writings on the black based board (usually seen in most cafe) and lots of food picture pasted on the wall. That time, I didnt dare to take a step into the place, fearing that they may charge me an extremely high price for a cup of coffee.
Yet, i saw many people in the store and each of them coming out of the store with a happy face. This makes me want to find out more about the store all the more.
Quite coincidentally, i stumbled into their website -- www.madewithlove.com.sg. From there, i realised that this shop is not entirely a cafe. This is actually a shop that sells all the stuffs that you will need for scrapbooking.
I love the way how they arrange all the imported acid and lignin free patterned papers and cardstocks. It allows you to scan through the papers easily, finding the most suitable colour papers to go with your photos.
Beside papers, this store also house alpha stickers, chipboards, embellishments, tools, etc used to beauify your layouts, and not forgetting they sell a wide variety of albums too so that you can store your layouts easily.
Every month, they will held several workshops to impart some of the scrapbooking techniques. You will get to practise these technique by doing layouts and even a mini album!!! You will also have the chance to know more people who enjoyed the same hobby -- scrapbooking as you.
Overall, this is a pretty good concept shop and a one stop place for people who enjoyed scrapbooking. You can save the hassle to run around looking for the products you want as most of them can be found in made with love.
