2021 is just around the corner but there are still a few things I needed to catch up with before year end. That includes a couple of medical examinations which have been postponed over and over again due to COVID-19.
After arriving at the clinic at exactly 8:45am, I was escorted into this room where I had an injection. The next thing I knew I was lying on a bed and then I finally remembered, I have yet to have breakfast this morning! Of course, I waited for the good doctor to see me with his report first.
The exam results came out clean so it was time for a brief celebration! I wasn't looking for something heavy though. Instead, something sweet at the recently renovated The Mandarin Cake Shop sounds like a great idea.

I haven't been back to The Mandarin Cake Shop as much as I would like this year because of the pandemic. Like everybody else, I have not been dining out at all this year so this was a very nice return trip.
Here, they always have some of the best baked goods in Central.
And the Christmas themed pastries are already out!
Well, this is what I call a perfect breakfast (for the sweet tooth). Yeah, I was low in blood sugar level.
I thought they have some of the most underrated doughnuts here.
This was very pillowy. I prefer custard cream over raspberry jam but I won't mind having a couple of these everyday.
Christmas Ball - This came with chantilly cream, cherry compote and chocolate.
A very light dessert. It was quite decent but definitely not the most delicious cake I have the pleasure of tasting here.
I'm still a little dizzy after breakfast so I am probably going to head home and get some rest in the afternoon.
