The last time I wrote about my coffee experience at "Poplar," I vouched to go back there again for their top of the shelf egg tarts! Egg tarts were the dessert I didn't know I needed! And poplar being the only bakery I have found in the city that serves them, every time I am in the vicinity, I will always go for a tart or two!

I just didn't think I would be back so soon!

It was a sudden plan really. Due to the upcoming elections we are currently under 3 day strike and travelling or going out is a bit risky. So as we were having breakfast the day before the 3 day strike was about to begin, my wife and I decided let's just go out today as we'll be locked in for who knows how long. And within less than a couple hours we were off.

We were also hoping to catch some halloween decorations but halloween isn't really big here, hence no halloween vibes! We had lunch and after a quick stroll around the mall, we went to Poplar. I already had my dessert selected egg tarts, duh!

My wife went for a sausage bun which according to her was really good too. I however refused to try it as I wanted the taste of the egg tarts to linger around longer!


I however did try her "Iced Oolong Tea," and it tasted funny - but not bad really. I have never had Ooolong tea before, but it is something I wouldn't mind trying again. It had a bit of a medicinal flavour to it which wasn't too pungent or off putting, rather soothing really. I don't I would like that flavour in hot oolong tea though. Maybe it was the ice that blunted any pungency if there was any. As I said, I have never had it before so I can not compare. I myself was pondering going a bit adventurous as well. A sea salt latte looked like a very attractive option.

But I just couldn't decide how I felt about a salty latte. Hence I went for a safer alternative. And for me, after all the horrible experiences I have had with "fancy" coffee drinks, the safest alternative to a latte is a Cappuccino. I like how they always give a complementary brownie with whatever coffee you order. It's a decent brownie. But I personally do not like brownies too much. I skipped it and rather enjoyed a top quality cappuccino. Maybe someday I will be a bit more adventurous and try out the Sea salt Latte for a change!
