All Day Menu
Menu For the Drinks
As health and beauty comes hand in hand, IsMe Beauty Cafe's menu focuses only on serving nutritious, healthy and low calories food for its patrons. With an in-house nutritionist on hand, each dish is specially prepared with natural and freshest ingredients without compromising on the taste and value.
Mouthwatering Treats: Low Calories Desserts & Cakes
IsMe Beauty Cafe have its own in-house chef whipped up an array of light snack, desserts and pasta that are not only delightful, but also are low in fat and calories. Here, the food is prepared from scratch with emphasis given to imported ingredients and fresh produce. Diners can take their pick from the available guilt-free menu and indulge themselves with some delicious cakes and desserts.
Oreo Cheese Cake
My favourite pick of the day was the unassuming, Oreo Cheese Cake. Very smooth in texture, intensely rich dessert cheese, milky and slightly sweet, sometimes with small burst of the choco oreo bites in between.
Mango Mille Crepe Cake
Mango Mille Crepe Cake was a winner too. I loved the light and refreshing flavour of the cake. Not too sweet which something I dread especially when tasting cakes. You can even taste the small pieces of fresh mango in between the soft and thin pieces of the crepe. Best enjoyed with your favourite cup of coffee!
Blueberry Cheese Cake
Next came the Blueberry Cheese Cake. Rich cake with the melt-in-mouth cheese topped with blueberries jam. I am not very fond of this type of cake as I do not have a sweet tooth for the topping of the blueberry jam.
Brownie Top up with Vanilla Ice cream
A personal favourite would be this heavenly dessert, Brownie Top up with Vanilla Ice cream. This warm dessert features warm chocolatey brownie topped with vanilla ice-cream and drizzled with hot chocolate sauce that had just the right amount of sweetness.
Affogato
Affogato literally means 'drowned' in Italian; was one of the outstanding dessert too. This coffee-based beverage comes with smooth vanilla ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso. Such a simple concept but it tickles all the senses with flavour with contrasting temperatures, and the unmistakable aroma of freshly brewed espresso, unsweetened, of course.
Light but buttery croissant - Perfect match with coffee or tea
Tiramisu
Wrapping up the desserts tasting was none other than Tiramisu, a dessert synonymous with Italian cuisine. Made of light, sweet sponge cake, layered with whipped egg yolks and mascarpone cheese and flavoured with brandy. Strong with a distinctive aftertaste, this is one of the better tasting tiramisu I ever had.
Spaghetti Chicken Bolognese
Moving on to the All Day Menu, there are 2 choices of the pasta dishes to choose from. Spaghetti Chicken Bolognese was my preferred choice rather than Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti.
Traditional Spaghetti Bolognese was really delicious, combined with the generous amount sauce, ground chicken, chopped tomatoes and cheese toppings too. I was told that the kitchen own special tomato pasta sauce was freshly made from scratch everyday using only fresh tomatoes instead of the commercial pasta sauce.
The moist, aromatic and flavourful pasta was well cooked, making it an easy, comfort food in terms of its quality and standard and for that, it gets a thumbs up from me!
On the other hand, I found the Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti kind of bland and not as creamy as it claimed to be. I was expecting something more creamy and rich milky flavour. A bit dry in fact, lacking in white cream sauce so basically I can't get to taste much of the flavour in the sauce. But I did enjoyed eating the button mushrooms though as they were quite fresh.
