Bakerzin, VivoCity, 6/4/07

For our late night dessert, we decided to mosey on in to Bakerzin. There aren't many places that remain open after 10pm at Vivo anyway.

We were ushered in and told to choose our own seats. After settling down and being offered the menu, we were asked to move to a smaller table to cater for a family of 5. Being nice people and in good mood, we obliged without a fuss.

Their menu included something pretty new. They offered dessert tapas at $5 each or 3 for $10, 5 for I forget and 7 for I forget even more... The menu had a lot less desserts than I could recall. But the menu is quite nice. We decided to order the irish cream souffle and 3 tapas. For the tapas, we had black forest coupe, strawberry cheesecake coupe, and strawberry chocolate fondue.

They came in these strange, but cool glasses (and were bigger than we expected) that were on a slant. Not sure why they did that other than just to try something different. The black forest was disappointing as the cake was not very nice and the alcohol soaked cherries (bing bing?) were too strong. The strawberry chocolate fondue tasted like strawberries dipped in melted chocolate... So what?! Nothing special here either. The strawberry cheesecake was actually pretty nice. One out of three is better than nothing, right?

Next is the souffle. When we first tasted it, it tasted very foamy and undercooked. Not sure if we don't know how a real souffle is supposed to taste like, but we know that we didn't like it that way, which is the only thing that matters, right? So, we sent it back to be cooked longer. It came back cooked more, but was still foamy. Oh well. It also came with a shot of espresso. It does go nice with the souffle until the very end where it gets very bitter (almost as bitter as apple cider vinegar...YUCKS!!!!).

Next time, we must go with the classic warm chocolate cake with the melted chocolate oozing out. NICE!!!

The only complaint from Foxy is that they don't serve free water. Bottled Evian is available for purchase.
