Plain Vanilla has been around for some time, so why the sudden post? That’s because while I have long heard about them, I have not tried their cupcakes. *Sheepish grin*

Was at Tiong Bahru Market with my girlfriends when one of them insisted that we are to go to Plain Vanilla. So wala! And I am glad she insisted because the cupcakes were so good! In fact, they were so good that I’ve made 2 (more) trips since.

The space is divided into two. First half is the non air-conditioned seating area, with second half being where the goodies are. No seats within this air-conditioned second half. Dining in will be a little tricky especially for a big group as seats are very limited.

Cupcakes are $3.50 each or $19 for every six. Permanent flavours include carrot, cinnamon brown sugar, chocolate hazelnut, cookies & cream, dark chocolate ganache, milk chocolate banana, milk chocolate chip, strawberry white chocolate and red velvet. Dont go too late though. On my 2nd (of 3) trip back, only 3 flavours were left at 5pm.

Cupcakes are packed into these beautiful boxes! Do note that you will need to get at least 4 to be packed into a box. Tried to purchase 3 on my 2nd trip and was told I had to get 4 before my cupcakes can be packed into the box. Hmm… But what if I only had cash for 3 and I had specially made a trip for these cupcakes? You want to put them in plastic bags or ask me to walk empty handed? (I got 4, by the way. 2 repeated flavour)

And from the display, I ordered (from my 2nd and 3rd trips):-

1) Red velvet, $3.50 (above)

2) Cinnamon brown sugar, $3.50 (above)

4) Salted caramel, $3.50 (above)

5) Cookies & cream, $3.50 (above)

6) Carrot, $3.50 (above)

7) Milk chocolate chip, $3.50 (above)

8) Strawberry white chocolate, $3.50 (above)

My favourite will be the strawberry white chocolate! The cupcakes were light and moist, while the frosting was not too sweet and in a right proportion. Even my siblings loved it when I brought the cupcakes back to share. So yes, I will recommend dropping by to buy some back when you are cafe hopping in Tiong Bahru vicinity.
