This Japanese-Inspired French Patisserie Serves Cakes That Are Too Pretty To Eat

If there’s one thing that I can eat for the rest of my life, it would be a good slice of cake.

Now I love cakes as much as, if not more than, the next person. I look forward to my birthday every year because I know I’ll get to indulge in a rich Belgium dark chocolate cake, finished with a silky chocolate glaze.

[caption id="attachment_33875" align="aligncenter" width="450"] GIF Credit: giphy.com[/caption]

I thought no other cakes could ever win my heart. Until, I came across a beautiful, magnificent piece of cake.

After a bit more research, it led me to this really quaint and simple patisserie. Flor Patisserie, you’ve won my heart this time round.

Fantastic Cakes And Where To Eat Them

Flor Patisserie is a Japanese-styled patisserie that serves authentic Japanese inspired French pastry.

They pride in using the freshest and best quality ingredients that have been sourced from overseas (Japan, Belgium, and France), and locally.

The chef at Flor Patisserie, Heidi, aims to create pastries based on the principle of honest baking with the finest ingredients.

Needless to say, their creations are truly a work of art.

Now that Cherry Blossom season is in full swing, Flor Patisserie is serving up sakura themed pastries and you for sure don’t want to miss any of it.

First up, we have the Sakura Tofu Chiffon which is made with salt-pickled Sakura blossoms.

This final pastry definitely wins my heart.

The White Strawberry Tart is made with Awayuki strawberry of the Sage prefecture in Japan. The Awayuki strawberries were hand carried back from Tsukiji Market in Japan so you know you’re getting the best stuff.

The sweet strawberry is paired with a fragrant creme d’amandes tart, filled with custard and topped with chantilly.

A Noob’s Guide To Buying An Engagement Ring Your Partner Will Love

Proposing to the love of your life can feel like an overwhelming task. You’ve got the girl, you’ve asked her father for her hand in marriage, now it’s time to pick the perfect diamond engagement ring.

What is considered “perfect”? Why do diamonds have different cuts? Princess or cushion shape? Do I spend $500 or $3000 on a ring?

[caption id="attachment_33860" align="aligncenter" width="500"] GIF Credit: giphy.com[/caption]

Here’s a guide on how to pick out the perfect engagement ring for the person you’ll spend the rest of your life with.

Sound Steady

Find Your Stone

Here’s a simple tip on finding the perfect stone. Just remember the 4 C’s: Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat.

1. Cut
Most people will confuse cut for the shape of the ring (emerald, cushion, princess etc). The cut refers to the diamond’s ability to reflect light. The cut of a diamond affects the diamond’s brilliance; this means if it is cut poorly, it will be less luminous.

2. Colour
The colour evaluation of most quality diamonds is based on the absence of colour. The colour scale begins with the letter D – colourless (most expensive) and continues, with increasing presence of colour, to the letter Z.

3. Clarity
Diamond clarity is graded using letter grades, which indicate how many visible flaws can be detected in a stone. The closer it is to being “pure”, the higher the value.

4. Carat
Diamond carat weight is the measurement of how much a diamond weighs. Diamond price increases with carat weight, because larger diamonds are more rare and more desirable.

It’s important to remember that the overall diamond’s value is determined by the 4Cs and not just the carat weight alone.

Find Your Shape

[caption id="attachment_33853" align="aligncenter" width="564"] Image Credit: pinterest.com[/caption]

This is a useful guide on the different shapes to think of when picking out the engagement ring. You want to pick out a ring that fits her style and preferences.

If she has no preferences and you have no idea which shape to pick, then you can’t go wrong with the popular round shape or the traditional princess shape.

Or perhaps if you know she’s a huge Beyonce fan, Queen B received a gorgeous 18-carat emerald shape diamond engagement ring.

Needless to say, it was flawless.

[caption id="attachment_33854" align="aligncenter" width="480"] Image Credit: Image Credit: makehappymemories.com[/caption]

The prong setting is perhaps the most classic and recognisable setting for most engagement rings.

Of the prong settings, the most common would be the solitaire setting which draws all attention to the stone with little to distract us like other stones or fancy metalwork.

How Much Should I Spend?

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to spend three months’ salary on your engagement ring. There’s nothing romantic about going into a major debt after buying your ring.

[caption id="attachment_33855" align="aligncenter" width="320"] GIF Credit: giphy.com[/caption]

Establish a budget before you step into a jewellery store. This helps your jeweller narrow down rings that are within your price range.

The 4Cs will determine the damage done to your bank account. You can either end up with a $800 or $3000 ring. So budget accordingly and never feel obliged to pay for premium.

After all, love cannot buy right?

Where Do I Shop For Rings?

You can browse for ready-made options at a local jewellery store or chain retailer (Tiffany & Co., Lee Hwa, Harry Winston etc.)

You can also design a custom ring with a private jeweller or find the perfect ring online from reliable sources like Blue Nile.

As we all know, nothing beats heading down to the store and physically handling the ring so you know where your money goes to.

Here are several wallet-friendly jewellery stores to find the perfect ring.

1. ORRO 

If you’re looking for a diamond ring that won’t cost you over $1000, then ORRO will be your best friend.

ORRO certified diamond simulants are often known as the “World’s Best Diamond Simulants”. A diamond simulant is a stone that looks similar to a real diamond and shares some of its characteristics.

Priced at $9.50 per 100g, the Tomahawk steak typically weighs between 1.3kg – 1.5kg. The price is such a steal however for a limited time only as it is an introductory offer for their Tomahawk.

This Joint Fuses Local Flavours Into Pizza And It’s DePizza We Need

Pizza is one of our favourite comfort foods. From standard pizzas, to Korean-style Chicago deep-dish pizzas, to dessert pizzas, it’s hard to top the flavours and styles we have.

However, DePizza bravely steps into the arena, armed with their own unique pizza flavours.

Asian Flavours Meets Italian Classic

DePizza, located along Boat Quay, is a newly-opened pizza joint serving up an array of interestingly Asian pizza flavours among the classics.

[caption id="attachment_33712" align="aligncenter" width="813"] Image Credit: DePizza[/caption]

Their Nasi Lemak Pizza ($24) is made with coconut cream-infused dough, slathered with their homemade sambal paste, topped with chicken, fried egg, cucumbers, cheese and ikan bilis!

[caption id="attachment_33714" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burpple User Xin Min[/caption]

The only components missing from this Nasi Lemak adaptation, are the rice and peanuts. But we’re not complaining. We’d take this pizza over McDonald’s Nasi Lemak burger ANY DAY.

Another interesting concoction is the GLY Pizza ($22). In case you’re wondering, GLY stands for Gu Lou Yok, aka Sweet and Sour Pork.

[caption id="attachment_33713" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burpple User Ang Yun Xuan[/caption]

Yes, this is a Sweet and Sour pork pizza. Generous chunks of pork, pineapples, peppers and onions, sit atop a bed of cheese and sweet and sour sauce. This is sin.

This is our favourite, the Chilli Crab Manzza ($26). We’ll get to its name in a bit.

[caption id="attachment_33715" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burpple User Dex Neo[/caption]

This Manzza is generously slathered in chilli crab sauce and topped with onions, cheese and REAL crab meat. Not those cheap sticks of artificial crab. Also, it’s called a Manzza because of its Mantou crust.

Absolute genius. What else could possibly pair better with chilli crab besides mantou?

If you don’t fancy any of their local-inspired flavours, they also offer classic pizza flavours such as Pepperoni, Four Cheese, and Hawaiian.

For those of you who are looking for sides, DePizza has mussels with white wine and fresh herbs, named “These Mussels” ($20 for 500g, $38 for 1kg) and the Fat Die Fries ($14) which is their version of Poutine fries.

[caption id="attachment_33716" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burpple User Ang Chong Kiat[/caption]

You can choose to top up $3 to add ground beef or sausage topping to your “beef sauce and melted cheese-loaded” Fat Die Fries.

If no-frills, good pizza is what you’re searching for, head to DePizza to get your fix. No regrets.
