A day off and I wanted a cafe day. So, we headed to the Tai Ping Shan area and found one we hadn't tried and had a table available. And that was Paintable Cafe. It was so new, it looked like it still had construction outside.But inside it had an adorable drawing from a local artist, Toballkidrawing. Not that many seats as it wasn't a very big cafe.However, they have outdoor seating as well with a pretty mural on the wall.Menu is in English and Chinese. You order by scanning the QR code which is
But inside it had an adorable drawing from a local artist, Toballkidrawing. Not that many seats as it wasn't a very big cafe.
However, they have outdoor seating as well with a pretty mural on the wall.
Menu is in English and Chinese. You order by scanning the QR code which is also in English and Chinese. There is no 10% service charge and you pay on your way out. They offer very typical cafe style food: pastas, all day breakfasts and sweets. They have a wide selection of coffee and non-coffee drinks.
Boyfriend had an Ice Hazelnut Latte ($45). A good balance of milk with espresso and a shot of hazelnut to give it a wonderfully nutty taste.
I had the Latte ($40). It was presented with a pretty seahorse latte art. The latte was smooth. A slight fruity taste with not too much milk to dilute it.
We started with a starter of Fried Chicken Cartilage ($58) because if boyfriend is going to put up with my cafe day, he must have something fried. Lightly seasoned, the cartilage was crunchy. There was still a bit of fat adhering to it so it was still soft in some parts. It came with mayo for dipping.
We shared a Mentaiko Spaghetti ($118). Portion was actually very generous and enough to share between us. The pasta was cooked to an al dente and heavily coated in the sauce which was a bit spicy. There was lots of button mushrooms and topped with bonito flakes.
But I was here for cake. They only offered one and there honestly is no need for another. This is the Rosy Pistachio Raspbery Mousse ($58) and it was as pretty as the name of the cake. Layers of rose, raspberry and pistachio could be seen. All on top of a crumbly shortbread base and decorated with crumbed pistachio. A light hint of rose hits you first and then you taste the raspberry and the nutty pistachio. Soft and didn't fall apart. One of the best cakes I've had in a cafe in a long long time.
They also had croffles so we ordered a Tiramisu Croffle With Ice Cream ($78). It looked beautiful when it arrived. And it tasted boozy. I love how they didn't skimp on the alcohol. The lady fingers were deeply soaked in rum and espresso. The croffle was buttery and rich. All with a soft fluffy marscapone cream and topped with a dried orange slice. The ice cream was cookies and cream and there were fresh strawberries as well. This was so decandent.
A pretty looking cafe with decent food but even better desserts. The perfect match for coffee. Service was friendly as well. Will be back.
