Centre Ps

So far in two weeks, I have tried a total of 6 of their cakes/tarts in 2 trips.

Tucked away somewhere in Tiong Bahru(enter through TB market entrance opposite Link Hotel), the cheeful, bright pink and white walls will just catch ur attention. Cakes/ eclairs/ macroons are on display and the beauty of these mini creations will just catch ur attention.

My first time was thanks to my colleague who dropped me off here and I got a box of 3 cakes(Mont Blanc, Cru Royale, Pisa) and a chocolate tart for $21. They were having a promo then. Managed to have a nice chat with Mia(i think one of the business partners) about the chef and about the store. And the cakes were a hit!!

Mont Blanc - Chestnut Vermicelli Cream with Creme Chantilly on a French Meringue Disc and Sable This was really good. The outer side is the Chestnut vermicelli cream. Quite light on the palate, slightly sweet and savoury. The creme chantilly was even lighter and went very well with the chestnut vermicelli. This is my favourite

Chocolate Cru Royale - I love this too. The chocolate was not too dense and again not too overwhelmingly sweet. like SC said, the base is crunchy and slightly sweeter but pairs well with the chocolate. Bf loved this cake n its 2nd on my list.

Pisa - Bourbon Vanilla Bean Bavaroise, Pistachio Biscuit Layers with Raspberry Compote I ate this layer by layer. My favourite being the vanilla bean bavaroise and the pistachio layers. Another not too overly sweet desert, the lightest of the 3. The raspberry compote being the middle, sweetest component that ties the cake together. An intresting combination.

Chocolate Tart - Oh yum, bitter chocolate which is smooth, velvety on a crisp and slightly thick tart. need i say more.

2nd Visit Made an online order beforehand and ordered

Mont Blanc (again) Eclipse - Three Colour Chocolate of Frangipane Style Tart TX5 - Valrhona Fine Chocolate in Five Texture; Cake, Cremeux, Cream, Mousse, and Salted Sheet Choux Choux - Chocolate and Vanilla Cream Buns, Profiteroles style Tartlette with Almond Nibs

but they didnt have the Eclipse so got the Bolero - Caramel Mousse with Hazelnut Cremeux and Spanish Orange Confit

when i went to collect the cakes, my bf mentioned that he wanted the Cru Royale so i asked to change the Bolero to the Cru Royale instead. The young lady serving us gladly obliged.

The TX5 was very intresting. The cake was the base, abit like a brownie it was quite dense and filled with walnuts, i liked the salted sheet which reminded me of salted caramel and all 5 elements really complimented each other. it was like an explosion of textures

But the Choux2 was heaven. each piece of the Chouquette was filled with lovely light cream and the chouquette itself was soft and savoury. The tart had lovely smooth custard in it and was crumbly yet quite crisp. I enjoyed eating one choquette after another n lastly devouring the tart.

just describing the cakes are making me crave them more. Its a shame that the location is soo far from where i stay. But heck that, i would make the trip even if i didnt have a car for these lovely creations. Theyre not only pretty but so delicious and rich.

I was lucky enough to even meet the Chef Patissier Steven Ong, a cheerful and friendly man, i really hope that he decides to open another shop(prefably in the central area like ct hall).

Centre PS is truly a gem and I admit that I am utterly, completely and hopelessly in love with it.

ps:ok so i only took 2 pics..cannot help it. the cakes are soo good i cnt be bothered to take pics..just devour!!!
