So we just had an unsatisfying dinner at
Kuro Kin. We needed a good dessert to bring up the happiness level of the day. Roamed through Pasarbella, and chanced upon this little cake shop. They sell Russian homemade cakes. All cake flavors had small cuts left out for sampling. After trying out all, we settled for Walnut and Naomi, with a cup of tea each. This little shop only had one table of its own, and we decided that was a nice place to sit and chat, since it was pretty late and the common areas of Pasarbella were sort of in the dark with some of the lights off.
What I really loved about Laman's Delight, is the wholesomeness of the cakes. In this day and age where cafes and cupcake shops are popping up everywhere, desserts tend to come all fancy and over-the-top. In contrast, Laman's Delight serve up good ol' old-fashioned homemade buttercream cakes, which really hits the spot. And they do not scrimp on the ingredients. Walnut was really chock full with chopped walnuts in every bite. And it was a lot of bite as it was a very huge slice of cake, despite looking innocently small in the picture. When we were served our cakes, we regretted ordering two instead of one, because of limited stomach space.

Naomi was a slightly alcoholic chocolate cake. I cannot remember which alcohol it was, but it wasn't overwhelming, and lent a very good overall flavor to the cake. The chocolate was rich, with additional shaved chocolate on top. Yet it wasn't overly sweet. We really liked it.

Pity I'm blogging this in retrospect. Else I would have requested this for my birthday cake! Haaa. Too late, but it's ok. It's good to remember good food. Unlike the unattractive dinner we had, this is what will really draw me back to the Grandstand.
