Pique Nique

The first thing I tried here was their whoopie pies - it was quite a refreshing taste but its dependent on flavours I realized.

Being strategically located at Taka is a definite bonus, and it attracts curious stares from those who incidentally walk past. Its pinkish and fun ambience is a stark contrast to KFC next door. Chef Pang is the name here and thus the desserts. All Day Breakfast category - 2Egg breakfast - American Favourite ($7.50) - this has bacon, 2 eggs cooked any style and your choice of english muffin or white toast. I had mine sunny side up and picked english muffin. The eggs were not underdone which I appreciated, the bacon a little too fatty for me, and the muffin quite nice but I suspect over toasted as it was a tad too crunchy for me. Overall it was nice and definitely comfort food but maybe some will baulk at paying this price.

Latte ($5) - Average and the foam was carelessly done, not consistent with my 1st experience although that time, my latte was more of a capp. Hot iron waffle ($8) - Humongous with a big scoop of ice cream on it. The waffle is actually quite good even when its no longer warm, plus the caramel walnut ice cream is good too although it can be less sweet.

Whoopie Pie ($2.15) - a specialty here, and I think for a good reason. I actually dont know what is the outer bit made but its similar to gingerbread without the ginger taste; the inside is marshmallow fluff. Nice: the traditional chocolate one, the PB&J, and the salty caramel. Not nice: lemon meringue which tasted chemical-ish.

Service is generally okay with its young team but sometimes small things are forgotten like serviettes and some cutleries which are supposed to be in the cutlery bucket on each table. The small seating also means that waiting time can take some time if you're in the queue.

I havent tried the cakes yet but I may for my return visit.
