Birthday Blow-out
The best part about having a birthday is the excuse to eat out.
So far there's been a delightful Thai lunch and a delicious Japanese dinner this week with family and friends.
Coming up:
- a picnic with fellow foodies feasting on gourmet delights;
- a girly high tea at The Observatory;
- and new gastronomic terrain covered in Iraqi and Laotian cuisine.
And then of course there is cake. Inspiration struck in the form of a green tea cake from Bread Top in the new-ish World Square in the city.
Fluffy matcha sponge cake, thick clouds of matcha cream and a spiralling coil of sweetened red bean.
I had my cake.
And I ate it too.
Otherwise what would be the point?

Happy birthday again.
I thought you would be interested to know that I was googling to find Formaggi Ocello, to find out where their shop is, and the first two hits were your foodie blog! And then the next was Pinkcoco.
Still haven't found where their shop is however...
And were is the Laotion entry? Hope that it was good.

wow. that is some cake. i heard about bread top, but didn't realise it was in world square. i was only walking through there a week ago. instead i found a tea shop on the ground floor, which sold an intriguing sencha+maccha blend.
um. where is bread top within the maze of WS? thank you.
