Meanwhile, I found a cute "bottled" gourmet shop in Singapore. It is "THE TIRAMISU HERO" which is said to be the pioneer of "bottled tiramisu". You can buy it from the online shop in Japan, but it's so popular that you have to wait 4 months!
What is the main store of sweets that attracts many people? Maybe there is a big line !? I (the author), who had the opportunity to go to Singapore, went to the cafe "THE TIRAMISU HERO CAFE" where you can eat on the spot.
To Singapore to eat tiramisu waiting for 4 months ...
The store is located on the east side of Singapore City, just beyond Little India. Close to "Jalan Besar Stadium". Tiramisu Hero Cafe is a cafe like a select shop with an open terrace seating on a one-way street that is one way from a big street.
Atmosphere like a select shop
The inside of the store is like a designer's mansion with bare concrete. On the wall was an illustration of the store's character "Antonio" and a headgear (probably for a commemorative photo). The interior is quite elaborate, with decorations on the ceiling with a ladder motif.
A mysterious headgear is protruding from the wall in front of the right. Large enough to hide your head completely
Is the motif of the ceiling decoration a ladder?
Antonio is "a Roman stray cat who dreams of delivering delicious tiramisu to the world."
Well, there was a tiramisu I was looking for ... there are a lot of them lined up at the counter. There are about 10 flavors such as chocolate, milk, cinnamon, oreo, and strawberry. There was also matcha green tea. I chose "lemon lavender". Order and settle at the counter in front of you, and sit down.
When I looked at the bottle placed on the square coaster, I saw Antonio holding a balloon. The expression like this naughty child is very cute. Also, on the paper covered on the lid, a lemon character with leaves is drawn. Do you express the flavor?
Both the bottle and the lid are cute
Let's see from the side. From the bottom, 4 layers of sponge, cream, sponge, and cream. Although it is not a clean layer like general tiramisu, the randomness gives it a unique texture.
This crisp feeling is also attractive
I will scoop it up from the top and eat it. The sponge is more fluffy than you can imagine! When you put it in your mouth with cream, it melts and leaves a lavender scent. It seems that lavender is mixed with lemon-flavored cream. It has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and has a refreshing aftertaste.
Furthermore, the bottom sponge was soaked with lavender-flavored syrup! There is no persistent sweetness, just right. The flavor changed from the upper half again, and I ate it in no time. By the way, you can take the bottle home with you, so why not take it as a souvenir? When I called out to the clerk, he washed it and handed it to me. Kindness!
What should i put in
Other visitors are spending their time as they wish, such as bringing a PC and drinking coffee while working, or a couple sharing a large creamy cake that is about one pound cake. It was like. The inside of the store is very comfortable with a relaxing time. But wait a minute. Nobody is eating tiramisu ...!?
When I checked with the clerk, it seems that general cakes are more popular than tiramisu at cafes. When I asked a female guide and driver living in Singapore, she said, "Tiramisu hero? I don't know, but is it famous?" Is it a recognition that it is one of the scattered cafes rather than a place to come to eat "bottled tiramisu"?
I was wondering why ... but I went out and was convinced. " I want to eat ice cream more than tiramisu ...! ". As expected in Singapore, the humidity and temperature were high, and my body sought ice cream. In this climate, it may be difficult to To go. The tiramisu you eat in the cool store is also delicious. Hey, Antonio!
Anyway, it wasn't as crowded as I had imagined, but the Tiramisu Hero Cafe was a nice space surrounded by Antonio.
We also sell stickers!
The store is located at 121 Tyrwhitt Road Singapore 207548. Originally, this area was home to automobile town factories. Opposite the store is the Hawkers (food stall village), and although it was a little early snack for dinner, there were some men in work clothes eating. Recently, the garage has been renovated, and fashionable cafes like Tiramisu heroes and inns for backpackers are increasing. The cityscape may have changed the next time you visit.
The humidity is so high that the lens becomes cloudy in an instant
