Sugar Hit @ InterContinental

I have not been to a Sugar Hit for many years, because I'm not convinced it's good value at $20. However, we found ourselves in the Rocks area on a rainy Sunday night, and Sugar Hit was the most obvious choice to wrap up the night.

We made our way to Shangri-La around 9 pm, but they have already stopped serving for the night! so it was back to The Cortile at InterContinental. It was a quite night, and we were attended to very quickly. The Cortile is a beautiful courtyard with lofty ceiling, enclosed by three levels of sandstone arcade. Shame I didn't have my camera.

The photo was taken with iphone4's 5 mp camera. It's original size, ~ 1.6 mb. Fairly decent since I didn't use flash.

Intercontinental Sugarhit

homemade amarena cherry, triple chocolate gateau with orange honeycomb and Bailey's macaroons, with Browns Brother moscato

The macaroon was too soft (i.e. the shell wasn't crispy) for Jerome, but I think it's better than getting a dry/stale one. I'm just bummed that I couldn't really taste the Bailey...The cake and moscato however were both very nice. The cherry gelee in the cake tempered the richness and I really enjoyed the cake. 

It wasn't too bad an experience, just note that you can't swap the wine for tea or coffee, and those cost a whopping $7!
