Lil's Birthday Part 2: Dessert at T Forty Two~

After lunch at Canoodling, I was telling Lil abt this place selling macarons (I used to spell it as macaroon but then read in wiki that most ppl use the French spelling macaron @.@~) in Bangsar Village II that I'd heard abt the last time I was there.. and being very suaku and not trying it before, I just had to find the place! We were very dumbo, cos we circled the whole building quite a few times searching for the shop, well to be fair BVII isnt that big... After quite a lot of walking, we decided to read the directory more carefully and realised there was a shop listed under cafe/confectionery that we didnt see at all...

Rupanya we'd already passed it quite a few times, but just the area outside and not the actual shop and shop window... T.T how stupid *facepalm*

Finally hit paydirt!! :)

The place is called T forty two.. and the decor is really nice... :)

got grand piano some more leh~! :P

Queen of the day in her high backed chair... the seats were damn comfy i must say~

another pretty dining area separated from us by glass windows :)

the menus were interesting, know why?

cos they had different quotes in front... Pink says "Tea is water bewitched" - Lu Wah, and Blue says "Love and scandals are the best sweeteners of tea" - Henry Fielding~ means anything to you???


Taadaa~ the stars of the day, heck they got even more photos than the birthday girl~ :P

L to R: Bittersweet Chocolate, Strawberry, Green Tea and Passion-fruit

My favourite surprisingly was bittersweet chocolate, cos i usually don't choose chocolate when it comes to flavouring i.e chocolate ice cream or chocolate pudding, etc... The strawberry and passion-fruit ones were surprisingly fruity, exactly like the real fruit itself, very fresh... the green tea one tasted a little to strong for my liking tho..

What surprised me was the texture of the macarons themselves.. I'd expected them to be cake-like, since they look like little cakes but its actually more like marzipan, and I was a little surprised when I took my first bite.. O.o... For RM3.90 each, they are pretty pricey, and very indulging.. not something tat I would consider for teatime any other day lor... hehe...

We also ordered the chocolate fudge cake (RM9.90) which looked crumbly but was actually very gooey and yummy and warm inside... :) nice... but better not eat it in front of someone you secretly admire cos the cocoa powder tends to stick to yr teeth :P

Other tantalising desserts.. chocolate tarts, passionfruit cheesecake slices, lemon meringue tart, chocolate fondant, strawberry shortcake etc etc etc.. A dessert lover's dream come true, sighhhh... The pink one in the middle is the rose macaron which costs a crazy RM13.90. omg! I can have a full meal for that price :S but secretly wondering whats so special abt it...

Other baked stuff with canggih-ranggih pronounceable names like croque monsieur, turkey ham and gruyere muffin, Spinach feta and pine nut briquette O.o..... extremely saliva inducing oso... *eyes glazing up*

We reached the cafe at around 2.15pm and were given a 25 minute window to finish playing around and eating as they were having an event at 2.30pm, a baby shower =.= I know kids nowadays are damn 'ho mia' but babies as well?! Gah.. But no worries, we still managed to finish in good time and had 2 refills of warm water each :P

A little something that deducted some marks from my macaron experience.. I saw a baby roach under the table! Arghhhhh... didnt say anything cos we'd finished eating at the time and I dont think the birthday girl noticed it... shocking eh? but not as shocking as seeing a full grown one in the middle of The Gardens Mall one fine day when we were going back to the office from lunch... *True story* This goes to show that high end places are not safe from nasty pests as well @.@~

So, YaY! cos I finally tried macarons after hearing abt them so long.. but i guess its just a fad, like cupcakes and donuts.. :P
