Dulcet Cakes & Sweets ♡

On my next adventure I was invited to pop by Dulcet Cakes & Sweets in Burwood Plaza to taste their cute looking cakes and matcha treats. I have been seeing their kawaii cakes and drool worthy matcha desserts on my instagram feed for quite some time but I was a little sceptical as to whether they actually tasted as good as they looked because...you know some places are like that and it's honestly a waste of my stomach quota and a huge disappoint when that does happen! 

Tea Journal Chatswood // Tea lover galore! (♥ω♥ )

Literally after breakfast at Flower Child Café and a quick gym session right after that, I was on my way to my car when I decided to try the cakes at Tea Journal (TJ). I remember seeing this café open earlier this year and it was a really quiet and cute tea shop. Anyway, I decided to get two cakes and a bag of tea to take home with me because I love drinking tea and what goes better with it than cake! 

This is there Rose and Black Tea chiffon cake, and I remember seeing this cake when their store just opened. The chiffon is infused with Tea Journal's own tea and rose, and the cake is super spongy and fluffy to eat. I could really taste and smell the aromas from the tea and rose, as it came across strong yet light on the palette. 

The second cake I got, was their Japanese cheesecake! It was really delicious and moist as the cake would wobble when you moved the plate. It had a light cheese taste and was also very fluffy in texture too.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed both cakes and it went so well with the matcha that I purchased in Japan. The tea I purchased from TJ was their Goji & Jujube tea, which helps to restore the kidney and liver and aid with insomnia and anxiety. I have yet to try it, but I know this will be a sweet tea. I cannot wait to come here again and try other flavoured cakes, I did see a new flavour "Hoji" chiffon cake on the menu so I will definitely try that next time because I love hoji cha!!

Raining at BangBang & Bécasse

So this morning was a fine sunny yet windy day, and i was headed out to the city for a catch up session with a good friend of mine. We originally wanted to go to Single Origin's but since their breakfast menu just ended when we got there we decided to walk a little bit further up the road to a cafe named BangBang.

Bangbang Ratings:

Location:★★★☆☆

Bangbang is within walking distance from Central Station. It's about a 10-15  minute walk to get to their location.

113 Reservior St Surry Hills 2010 Sydney
Open 7 days

Menu: ★★★☆☆

The menu consisted of mainly sandwiches and/or burgers. They don't have a great variety of coffee-based drinks to choose from but the do offer dairy free smoothies and a few fruit based drinks!

Overall: ★★★★☆

Recommend this place to those who want to find a place to chill and find inspiration of some sort. The setting is not too bad as it can clear and ease your mind.

My friend had ordered a regular skim latte where as i ordered an ice chocolate. As for food we ordered one from their breakfast menu, French toasted brioche, and one from their lunch menu pulled pork sandwich.

Ice Chocolate Ratings:

Taste: ★★☆☆☆

Nothing really special, so i would just give this a rather normal rating.

Cost: ★★★☆☆

This drink cost about AUD$4.50 if i remembered correctly

Overall: ★★★☆☆

I wouldn't say this is a must have drink so feel free to skip this if you want something hot to warm your up coming winter days.

Pulled Pork Sandwich Ratings:

Taste: ★★★☆☆

I really liked the mixture of ingredients used in this sandwich, except the pork was a bit dry and the bread crust was a little hard in my opinion.

Cost: ★★★☆☆

This sandwich cost about $12.50 which i would say is slightly pricey for a sandwich, but i guess it would be considered a gourmet sandwich in this case.

Overall: ★★★☆☆

I wouldn't say it's the best pork sandwich i've had, but it is a decent sandwich to try out.

French Toasted Brioche Ratings:

Taste: ★★★★★

I loved everything about this dish!!! FANTASTIC! Love all the flavors i could taste!! I especially enjoyed the spicy onion jam (as i love onions!!) it went really well with all the ingredients used!! & I simply melted when i saw avocado on the side as it went so well with the toast!! 

Cost: ★★☆☆☆

The french toast cost AUD$16.50. I would say it is a pricey amount to pay but the flavors are sure worth every single penny!

Overall: ★★★★☆

Highly recommend this dish if your not on a tight budget or anything as the flavors are fantastic!!

After catching up with my friend for brunch i then headed up towards Westfield to meet another friend and enjoyed shopping around as the weather outside started to get chillier.

We then decided to go on a small coffee & cake break at Bécasse Bakery. There we had ordered a vanilla bean and passionfruit cheesecake and gosh i forgotten the name of the other two we got but i shall get back to putting their names up soon!!

Bécasse Bakery Ratings:

Location:★★★★★

Super easy to find in Sydney Westfield!!

Food court level near cha time, Sydney CBD Westfield

Menu: ★★★★☆

They mainly sell bread, cakes, tarts and coffee!! But they do have a different range of sweet and savoury breads so definitely need to try them all out one day!

Overall: ★★★★☆

Recommend this place if you want to try some unique pieces of bread!!! Really nice cakes and tarts are available to suit a range of taste buds out there

Vanilla bean and Passionfruit Cheesecake Ratings:

Taste: ★★★★☆

I really liked the cheesecake as it wasn't over the top where you will start to feel sick from eating too much. It had the perfect blend. One thing i didn't like about it was the biscuit base, it was really hard that i couldn't eat it with my plastic spoon which they give.

Cost: ★★☆☆☆

This cake cost about AUD$6.95. A bit pricey but i can say the taste does make up for what you just paid for.

Overall: ★★★☆☆

Would recommend this cheesecake to all you cheesecake lovers, such as myself and my mum!!

Chocolate cake? Ratings:

Taste: ★★★★☆

I really liked this cake!! The top layer of chocolate melts in your mouth instantly!! It had a blend of tiramisu & chocolate fudge.

Cost: ★★☆☆☆

This cake cost AUD$3 as it was half the size of the original cake size portion.

Overall: ★★★☆☆

Loved this cake!! Beautiful flavors!!

Flower bread? Ratings:

Taste: ★★★★☆

This bread has a similar taste to an asian-style made bread i like to it. But what's unique about it that it's more westernized and it has small sugar bits on top!!

Cost: n/a

Not sure about the cost of this bread as i don't remember so will update asap.

Overall: ★★★★☆

Will recommend this bread as you can bread it into it's smaller bit sizes and share it too!!

Anyways it's 12:02am right nows so i'm off to bed now!!
Good night dear readers!!!
