Aimless - the
exact word to reflect the sentiment as we didn't have any specific place in mind
to chill out after a hearty yet expensive nasi lemak lunch at Chinatown. That's
when google map came into play and we managed to identify an interesting cafe
that's within walking distance.
The Daily Roundup
- an interesting name that means a gathering of people. As there were just two
of us, a roundup may not be an appropriate description but i honestly didn't
care; i just wanted crepes for desserts!
Upon stepping in,
i sense that this would be a good place to relax and have a good chat with
friends; the cafe was bright and i can see quite a number of people chilling out
on their own with a laptop or a book. If i ever get a laptop, i think this would
be the perfect (and peaceful) place for me to generate postings for this
blog.
Aside from the
usual hot and cold beverages from a cafe (menu to be included later in this
post), there were also options for French ciders, beer, wine, cold brew coffee,
spritzers. Being a cheapo who prefers to spend on food, i am glad to announce
that plain yet complimentary iced water was provided beside the
counter.
Salted Caramel Sweet
Crepe - with seven types to choose from, the undecided
me would simply ask the staff for a recommendation and it came up to be either
salted caramel or hazelnut. I chose the former and topped up with a scoop of
yummy vanilla bean ice cream!
I have never
quite enjoyed crepes and preferred waffles over them. Would the one from The
Daily Roundup change my opinion as it's supposedly "made with premium wheat
flour and infused with artisanal butter by Jean-Yves Bordier"? Not too sure who
this Jean-Yves Bourdier was but just the sound of it seemed to elevate the class
by a huge jump.
Love it despite
the lack of crispiness along the edges (not supposed to be the case anyway). It
was buttery (must be the work of that Jean-Yves Bordier) with a rich, addictive
flavour that was enhanced by the sprinklers of sugar and salted caramel. Simple,
delicious and not heavy on the stomach!
Amazonian Acai
Bowl - with fruits on top, i was thinking i might as
well make this bowl myself at home! However, buried underneath was the strangely
appetizing acai blend; it was an acquired taste and even though i would not
consider it not my cup of tea, i believe it has the magic to clean the bowels
eight hours later.
