Day 3, we walked around Jurong Point new extended shopping mall. We feed ourselves with superb Japanese ramen inside the mall and later on head to Sommerset for an afternoon walk. We had our dinner at Xin Wang Taiwan Cafe (situated in City Hall).
Then, we walked to Esplanade which houses a classically beautiful Cookie Museum. This is more of a tea house with a touch of Victorian style and its comfy settings. The staff are very friendly and speaks very good English. The place are very clean and quiet too. Ambience is good for a small gathering and is most suitable for couples too. You are encouraged to pre book your table as they only have 6 tables inside. It serves a range of imported tea and coffee with liquor. It serves delicious cakes topped with sweet liqour syrup.
The most enjoyable experience here is that you get to taste different types of freshly baked handmade cookies. While you enjoy your tea, the staff will come over with a wheelie filled with containers of freshly baked cookies for free-tasting. Cookie Musuem make cookies with a delightful flowerly taste (e.g.: rose), berries and fruits. Biscuits with Singapore local flavor are also available. These will surely give you a new meaning to cookie. The local flavor includes chicken rice, laksa, "heh bi hiam" (spicy prawn sambal flavour) and nasi lemak.
I bought a tin of English Rose & Pineapple Cookies for SGD45 (RM100). It is a bit expensive but every bite of the cookie is worth it!A tin of cookies contain about 20-23 cookies. For drinks, expect to spend about SGD20/pax for a pot of tea. These original handmade cookies are lovingly baked with the finest ingredients and has been voted as Singapore's Best Cookies.
