Kki Sweets : Review

The little drom store cornerWhat's Kki? just like the decorations, Kki does not only offer cakes, they caters the needs of one's five senses - sight, smell, taste, hearing and/or maybe touch... Sitting inside Kki, you will see artfully decorated interior, smell the aromatic vanilla sencha tea, taste the delicious desserts, listen calmly to the wise-choice of music & you can touch anything/everything at the little drom store. The decorations are simple, homely yet classy.

The little Drom store offers a wide range of items that hardly can be found in the market today. Items ranging from Pepsi Cola bottles to antique typewritter. These antiques aren't those extremely expensive ones that are not within our reach. These are more like heartland antiques from the good old Singapore. What amused me is the openess of the store owners for visitors/customers to take photos of their items at free will. Isn't that great? Personally, i am inspired by what i saw!

K-ki offers little selections in their drinks, prefering to focus on their dessert cakes. I had camomile tea it taste refreshing. It compliment the desserts perfectly. Some of the cakes are said to be sweeter. With a tea like this, i am sure that you will have a great enjoyment in the cakes.

Wall of Photos
One particular thing caught my attention - the pillar of photographs. It is amazing to find out that the owner of K-ki not only have love for cakes but the photography as well. I like how the photographs are taken, arranged and made into postcard like pictures. It is awesome! I was the only customer in the tea house at the time of visit and i could see the lady from the drom store took her own camera and starts to take photos of the surroundings, items, store etc. I wonder if she is the photographer of the pillar of photos. Sitting at my place is like watching a little tv scene. The feeling are indescribable.
The services are friendly and warmth. Entering the tea house is more like entering my friend's home. The lady spoke to everyone like her friend. I enjoy spending my peaceful time there without much disturbance. They do not 'chase' me away despite me having only tea after an hour or so. I ended up with a second cake after requesting a refill of hot water to the pot of tea.

Maya cake
Maya Cake
"Maya" cake taste unique and till now, i am unable to explain the taste. I did not approach the staff to ask though. "Souffle Cheesecake" tasted a little bit like moist Japanese cheesecake but it is a good offering for those who doesn't like their cheesecakes to be too cheesy. All the cakes are freshly baked by the owner himself. I heard the lady at the counter is the wife of the chief! Both of them are equally friendly. Among the 3 cakes i tasted, i love "Little Red Riding Hood" (LRRH) best! It is available only around 2pm and it will be sold out before 5.30pm. I wonder how many pieces did they make.

"LRRH" is a chocolate mousse cake coated in dark chocolate, topped with a raspberry. Inside the mousse cake, there is a layer of raspberry filling as well. The taste is heavenly. A must try, especially for dark chocolate lover like me! The mousse, fillings & coating compliment each other very well. It is definitely a delicacy. I guess, this explains why the dessert sold out so quickly.

This is my first, and definitely not the last visit of K-ki...
