west 57th street

set foot in sg wang again after so many years. went there to have lunch with jet. decided to go to zang toi's cafe after long absence. i still remember going there with yunli and enjoying their chocolate banana cake. at that time, it was the best, better than secret recipe's.
so this time around, i wanted to savour the long lost taste again.
it took us many turns and alleys to reached that cafe. the information counter gave us the wrong information and guided us to the wrong floor! instead of the first floor, she told us it was on the second floor. and i couldn't remember the name of the cafe, all i could remember was zang toi. so no point looking on the directory.
it was situated outside a row of local designer boutiques as seen below. just small lots and very quiet. we were there for more than an hour and no one went in to even browse. it is quite a waste because their clothes are really nice. i think it is a case of bad location. they should be placed somewhere else where there are more affluent customers. maybe i was wrong. it might be lunch and ppl do not look for clothes at this time.

we ordered from the set menu...which came with a small minute piece of chocolate banana cake as dessert. i ordered pineapple fried rice. i guess the food was so-so only lah. overheard from the table next to ours 'too little pineapple'. i agree, there was no pineapple taste in the fried rice. and the cake. oh, how disappointed i was. it was totally different from the heavenly slices i had ages ago. it tasted more like brownie texture now instead of the soft spongy cake. now, i would rather go for secret recipe's. so much for my expectation. sorry to disagree with you friend.
