Imagine my ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Anyhow, I brought the sandwich back to them and they refunded me. Oh, and they gave me a hot drink as well. The problem is that I ate most of the sandwich already. I'm sure I will be ok but an episode like that spark a discussion with our admin lady on food hygiene and how it has become more common. Is it true?
Anyhow, I meant to blog about this cake today. It's one of my favourite cheesecake that I have recently made for a 21 birthday (for a friend obviously...haha). I love the tangyness and the dark choc on it.
It beats looking at worms on your sandwich anyday!

It must be springtime near you cause its freezing near me....
Awwww...why no picture of worm? :-P Bootiful cake, by the way!
I am not a big dessert person, but I love cheesecake. What a gorgeous cake and a thoughtful birthday gesture! It looks so decadent and tempting, even at 8:20 in the morning. :)
Gosh... that must have been a dreadful experience to found crawling thing after you ate most of your sandwich. Can't even start imagining it!
Your cake looks delicious, chocolate and strawberry are perfect couple.
Cheers,
Elra
Looks pretty and what a combo! Must be sinfully yummilicious!
I like a slice with 2 strawberries pls... hehe
Worms? Ewwww....
Nasib baik you balanced that gruesome discovery with this lovely and decadent dessert ya? ;)
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Just reading your bit about finding "foreign" objects in your food made me cringe...but then again, if it was alive, that means there was no poisonous insecticide on your lettuce. Little comfort I know.
The cake sounds delicious, will try it one day! Thanks for sharing!
cheesecake looks good, you seldom bake whole cakes do you? =)
bad food hygiene, its everywhere lah. ppl say worms are better than germs & viruses. u know some chap chye png stalls, they actually wash their veggies in the same basin that ppl spit in, but we don't see it, so we tot is clean. as the chinese saying goes 眼不见为净 haha. so best is still homecooked food. may not be any cheaper than takeaways but u can be assured of the cleanliness!
doggybloggy-gosh, i expect to see more heart warming dishes frm u! =) It is getting warm here.. but with odd days of cold blasts.
lyrical- i was too disgusted to be honest!!I ran to the cafe straight away without even thinking that i shld take a photo of it first. =)
maria- oh thank you! It doesnt looked too pretty I think but... i'm glad my friends appreciated it like u said!
elra-exactly!! It's horrible. But like what they say, it's extra protein (that i dont need though..)
little corner and mrs_2be-oh thank you babes!
kenny- eww right? that's why i posted the cake recipe, wanted to end the day in a sweeter note!
CY-no problems! Hope u like the recipe too.
Evan- I dont have alot of experience baking and decorating whole cakes... For some reason I tend to stear away frm them.. maybe because I always percieve them as more tedious? Also that it's a bigger portion so I only bake whole cakes when attending gatherings, birthdays..etc.. i would love to start to bake and decorate like u do though! =)
woah, such a beautiful cake! and you use whole strawberries, yummy =)eeew about the worms ... at least they were extra 'protein' hehe
that must have grossed you out... terrible!!! anyway, your cake looks so great... too bad i only have frozen strawberries here... :)
That cake looks amazing!
Love the cake, must try it one day. Beautiful. :) The word verification spells wormw (ewwwwwwwwwwww)
