"My Favorite Things" at O'Coffee Club



Home grown well liked cafe chain, O'Coffee Club brings to guests its Christmas range of confectionery this year as part of its 2014 festive collected themed " My Favorite Things" 

I joined several instagrammers and bloggers at its stand alone cafe at Raffles Place for a fun filled afternoon partaking in pretty and irresistible sweet treats .

Guests at O'Coffee Club are in luck :) Be pampered and indugled in 4 exquisite
log cakes- White lychee Christmas, Mont Blanc Yuletide , Santa's Macadamia Noel and last but not least, Chocolate Wonderland . The first 3 are new while the last is a hot favorite at the cafe . We were treated to 2 of the log cakes :) 


Top: Chocolate Wonderland 1kg $53.50 nett
Bottom : White Lychee Christmas 1kg $58.85 nett
White Lychee Christmas is a refreshing surprise . It's light orange sponge cake layered with fragrant lychee emulsion and raspberry jam, and with rose essence cream in the center  is sure to win the hearts of those who loves fruit cakes .

Being a big chocoholic , the Chocolate Wonderland appeals to my taste buds . Luscious chocolate sponge has layers of ganache, nuggets of cream cheese and crunchy praline feuilletine. I like how the different textures comes together. 

The above mentioned log cakes are available for orders and dine in ( in slices ) as well.

 Can you feel the fun festive mood already :D
 


Another of " My Favorite Things " that we really enjoyed 
are these Artisanal Christmas Cookies 
Each type of cookies shown here are sold separately
My personal fav.is the Oats & Raisins (right side )  ( $13.50/jar)

These beautiful gems once again makes perfect gifts 
These are O'Coffee Club's Praline . The flavours are pretty exotic!
There's Earl Grey Raspberry, Grand Marnier Seasame, 
Baileys and Crispy Choclate Feuilletine . 
They are packed in a box of 12 and retails at $24

These macarons 'colors makes me feel delighted! 
Just looking at them lifts up my mood!
Again, these make great gift ideals. I mean you can't go wrong with sweet treats !!

Christmas Gift Set : Box of 4- $9.65 nett   /  Box of 12 - $25.70 nett
