Lousy cupcake

If 1 Utama is the territory of Van & I, then Bangsar Village is of Sam & I.

We've alwalys wanted to try the pretty cupcakes at Bisou, Bangsar Village (beside New Zealand's Natural), but never got the chance to. It's always sold out by late afternoon.

Walk passed the cake boutique on Christmas day, and found many were still for sale. I guess they overbake for Christmas. So, I bought 1 and decided to have a try.

I ordered a flavour called "Zest you up". It's basically a vanilla cupcake, with orange zest icing. Citrus always lighten the flavour, doesn't it?

The cupcake sucked!!! Wasted RM 5 on a piece of cupcake which I have no idea why so many teenage girls were all over it. LOSERS.

The cupcake base was quite good. It was moist, not too buttery and the vanilla taste was pretty strong, which I liked a lot. But the icing, oh no no no!!! If one were to open a cupcake boutique with cupcakes decorated with a large amount of icing, isn't icing the very essential part of the product?!?! To begin with, the icing was too buttery: oily and there was a strong taste for low quality, stale butter. Then, the supposedly orangey taste of it, was contributed by orange flavourings, yuck! I couldn't taste the refreshing and light flavour of any zest! If they ever did add some orange zest into the mixture, then they're not very skillful, are they?

DISAPPOINTED!

The next time I step into the cafe, it wouldn't be for the cupcakes. Coffee, maybe =)

Peace out!
