TCC, the coffee connoisseur #4
B1-26, City Link Mall

It has sort of become a norm for Sis and I to spoil any healthy meal we've had with some sinful desserts. Intending to do so at Aerin's, we walked all the way to City Hall from the Little India area. However, nothing caught our eyes when we got there. Since I haven't been to TCC ever since I returned from New Zealand, we decided to indulge there instead. Commenting on how good the Ti-Rum-Misu ($5.80++) was the last time I was here, Sis ordered it without hesitation. This time, there was too much mascaphone cheese to me but the coffee and rum kick was still there.

Wanting to try something new, I ordered the pretty looking Chocolate Grottine ($6.20++). The wait staff told me it's a chocolate mousse sitting on a sponge cake and surrounded by a hard chocolate case, topped with strawberries. This simple dessert was quite ordinary with nothing to shout about.

Oh ya, the waiter also mentioned that there was a brandied cherry in the mousse and I almost laughed out loud when I saw it finally. Instead of being plump and juicy, the cherry was small and shrivelled with no brandy taste at all. How pathetic!

Wow, prices have certainly increased since almost a year ago. We ordered the tiramisu from the display counter rather than from the kitchen as it costs almost twice more with merely a few fruits as garnishes. I actually asked the staff about it and she assured me that both the counter and menu tiramisu is the same, just that the latter comes in a nicer presentation. Food and prices aside, the service and ambience were great. The waiter volunteered to make some recommendations for drinks without us asking and was very attentive throughout the time we were there. Nevertheless, the desserts failed to make an impression on me this time and I'm not sure I'll be back.
