Their awesome white coffee. Those who know me well will know that I hate sourish\/bitter coffee, hence I always go for latte. More milky taste. Percolate though, doesn&#8217;t have much more milk. But somehow everything just blended very nicely, giving off the rich espresso taste, which is neither sourish nor bitter, together with a milky aftertaste that doesn&#8217;t overwhelm you. Awesome coffee, awesome barista. (I do hope that they would have an even bigger cup though. The $4 cup is already 5oz and it&#8217;s not enough for me! :P )<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Coffee &amp; cakes!\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sanity-asylum.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/wpid-20150207_112133.jpg?resize=1140%2C641&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"image\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is my carb\/sugar laden breakfast, lol. White coffee ($4), banana date loaf ($3.50) and a slice of pear hazelnut chocolate strudel ($6).\u00a0 Yup pretty expensive breakfast, I know, but it has been my mission for quite some time to try all their cakes\/danish. Haha!<\/p>\n<p>Their white coffee is as amazing as usual, and that banana date loaf is definitely something which I will order again. Banana taste is pretty heavy, but doesn&#8217;t make you sick of the taste towards the end. I can see the dates, but it doesn&#8217;t have the usual date taste when I bite into it. Instead it helps to make the texture of the loaf unique, and added some moisture into an otherwise would-be dry banana loaf.<\/p>\n<p>The pear hazelnut chocolate strudel is not something to shout about though. It wasn&#8217;t bad, but it wasn&#8217;t anything fantastic. Its dense but not overly dry, and the nice touch of hazelnuts on top adds a nice nutty crunch. I couldn&#8217;t taste any hint of pear though.<\/p>\n<p>In all, I&#8217;m pretty satisfied with this breakfast even though its slightly expensive. And that&#8217;s all the carbs and sugar I&#8217;m gonna have today! No more cake or bread for the rest of the weekend, lol! Now time to shop for some new clothes for Chinese New Year.<\/p>\n<p>Ugh I hate shopping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woke up late, and realising that I&#8217;ve forgotten to buy milk for my coffee, so I ended up heading downstairs to Percolate to have my late breakfast before continuing the day.
