BUTTER STUDIO @ TERMINAL 3

P/S: Amazingly, my friends have been going to Butter Studio ever since I posted my review and photos on Instagram! It feels so good to share ! :P

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks back, I took the nephew out.

I was not very sure where to take him though ... all I knew was that it had to be somewhere air-conditioned because the weather was freaking hot.

I did some googling job and found out that there's a new games arcade at Changi Airport Terminal 3 so that was where we ended up at.

I have always loved going to the airport.. I do not exactly know why. Perhaps it is because there are  many eateries there plus the fact that every single spot in the airport is extremely clean. I am sure many would agree if I say that we can even sleep in the toilets! :P No wonder Changi Airport is number one in the world.

Anyway, as we were walking around at the second basement looking for the arcade Zone X, I happened to notice a cupcake café somewhere in a corner. I got more excited when I saw a Halal sign near the signboard!

There are many shops selling cupcakes in Singapore but not many are Halal - certified. Those that are, are usually home-based businesses. It is only natural then I got a teeny weeny bit excited... hehe...

Since all of us had not had any lunch yet , we decided to give BUTTER STUDIO a shot.

(I made a silly mistake of telling my mum it is called Butter Factory - the club. Oops)

The bottom left is the one nephew picked - just because of the rainbow design!

I was busy checking out the flavours of the day when the little boy brought my attention to the cute toppers available for the cupcakes.

These are edible toppers that you can purchase for a dollar each with any cupcake bought. I asked the nephew what he wanted and he immediately responded, " I'll go with my favourite giraffe!"

30 secs later, he asked, " Can I eat the giraffe?"

Heh... yes, all toppers are edible. They have quite a variety for selection , I would have chosen Cinderella but I did not get it eventually.

I decided on Marshmallow Chocolate, mum & dad shared their best-seller Red Velvet Cupcake while the boy went for something with a rainbow jelly on top. I think he did not even bother finding out the flavour (I think it was vanilla) - all he wanted was the colourful rainbow!


So these were ours!

The cupcakes are very reasonably-priced indeed. I cannot remember the exact figure but it was less than $4. I paid about $12.50 for the above three cupcakes + giraffe topper + a lemonade.

The first thing nephew did was to eat his giraffe. It was cute to see the excitement in his eyes as he ate up the limbs one by one. ...

 

I am no expert at cupcakes but it is difficult to like one, especially when most cupcakes I have tasted were rather dry and one has to depend on the topping / frosting to save the day. I did not have much of an expectation for this one although my choc marshmallow looked extremely tantalising in real life!

Fortunately it was! I love the marshmallows with the choc sauce and the cupcake was moist and chocolatey - just like how I'd liked mine to be :)  I had a couple of bites into the red velvet, it was good .

I did not get the chance to savour nephew's cupcake at all because someone was really hungry and finished everything up in a jiffy!

Well, I cannot say the cupcakes are the best around since I am no expert in this area. But they are definitely good enough for me to want to go there again.

I hope I can catch the husby to go on a cupcake afternoon date with me this weekend.

Since it is the haze period and being in the airport is being indoors, Butter Studio may be a good place for tea and some chit-chat session.

Location is at Changi Airport Terminal 3 ... just walked down the aisle, it is after the kopitiam. :)
