My kind of crack.

Was at Suntec City yesterday for a family dinner and decided that after that dinner, it would be a great idea to drop by Lady M to get some cakes.


The Lady M outlet in Singapore is pretty notorious for their horrible service, evident from the myriad of unhappy customer reviews on their Facebook page.



When I was at their Marina Square outlet yesterday, I have to admit I was very surprised with the service, there was an obvious improvement compared to the first 2 times I visit, which was honestly atrocious, good riddance to the previous service crew because those guys were horrible at their job.




So I bought 3 slices of cake because there's always space in my stomach for cake, total bill was $27, or thereabouts, each slice of cake cost an average of $9.




Insert Red Velvet Picture because I ate it up before I could take a shot of it. The important thing is that it's fucking awesome and probably the best red velvet cake I have ever eaten.. and I have never eaten much because I'm not a fan of cream cheese, so for all I know, this might not even be considered a true Red Velvet Cake by Red Velvet connoisseurs who travels around the world eating a not really chocolate nor vanilla cakes dyed with a lot of artificial food coloring.




Next one I had was the Strawberry Shortcake, which I ate 2 hours after finishing had the Red Velvet cake.

Awesome Japanese Strawberry Shortcake

Strawberry Shortcakes are generally quite straightforward so there isn't really anything to scream about, Lady M manages to get everything right with the light and fluffy sponge that's been very generously brushed with sugar syrup, perfectly whipped cream with a good amount of strawberry thrown into the mix so I am able to get the sponge cake, the whipped cream and the strawberry with every bite.



I have tried making Strawberry Shortcake at home before, but with the kind of weather and humidity, it's a nightmare, and at that time, I didn't have a stand mixer which made it even worse for making the cake and the whipped cream. It tasted alright, but seeing the lumpy whipped cream smeared all over the cake was quite a turn off... it's like trying to eating a bar of chocolate while watching 2 girls 1 cup.




The last one I had was the Matcha Crepe Cake.

Full Sliced Glory

I have to admit, I was a little hesistant to get this at first because I didn't really liked the original Mille Crepe cake, it was all buttery and I'm really not a fan of the smell of butter, but when I was choosing the cakes, it just happened.

Half Sliced Glory

It was a lot better than I had anticipated, but because I wasn't exactly a fan of matcha, this one wasn't my favorite out of the three, in fact I think I will have to put this as my least favorite, not that it's not good, it's great,but I like my cakes to have cake sponge in them.






Lady M is one the of the few bakeries that manages to make me feel very satisfied after eating the cakes they make, the other one being Plain Vanilla Bakery, like I feel actual joy after having a bite, it's a bit weird, like a little euphoric.... good cakes are my kind of crack.



To think the first time I bought their cakes, I thought they were overrated because I really didn't like eating the Original Mille Crepe, in fact I hated it, I had to force myself to finish it because it was too expensive to throw away and the checkerboard cake was just pretty looking and that was it, I really didn't find the checkerboard cake to be good at all, it honestly tasted very mediocre at that time.
