Karafuru Desserts is a Japanese-inspired dessert cafe that offers fushion eclairs and yogurt parfaits, along with some simple drinks. I first knew this place through Instagram as famous foodies like Daniel Food Diary and Miss Tam Chiak have been here. I had really high expectations on the food as they looked really good on photos and have always wanted to visit the cafe. I finally tried it today and it was a huge disappointment and felt like I have paid so much just to get some pretty-looking eclairs for some pretty food photos...

#9: The Eclair Set, $16: 2 eclairs and a drink (top up of $1 for alcoholic eclairs). I chose Jasmine Matcha and Black Forest, which are the two flavours that are down to the last piece.
The pastry part of the eclairs was rather hard and dry, while the rest tasted okay - the flavours are too weak for me. The coffee on the other hand, is a MAJOR disappointment. Originally priced at $5, sadly to find out that it was machine-made and tasted like diluted coffee. It's so bad that I can drink it with my eyes close and it takes me just one sip and I can clearly say it is not barista-made coffee. Not worth paying for it.
#10: Jasmine Matcha, original price: $6. Jasmine matcha cream filled, topped with matcha sables.
#11: Black Forest, original price: $7. Kirshwasser cream filled, topped with dark chocolate, candied wild cherries and raspberries. Thought the top layer cream was pretty cool which was glittery and shimmering.
