This
is definitely a must-go to place if you're visiting Guangzhou or Hong kong. I
went to the one in Guangzhou and it was absolutely amazing! The cakes looked and tasted beautiful. We had the banana tart, chocolate truffle cake
and a slice of lemon meringue tart. Each slice was 35 yuan which is about $5.50.
The
banana tart was a winner for me! Though the lemon meringue tart was definitely a
surprise - I was never a fan of the lemon tart because of the sourness of the lemon, but this was different. Instead of having all the lemon flavour from the lemon
curd, there was less in the curd and some lemon extract in the meringue! That
was the first time I've seen it being made and it's such smart idea!

We
also had the chocolate truffle cake - it was quite rich but there were pieces
of orange inside which balanced out the flavour.

Apart
from pretty cakes and coffee, Simplylife also has savoury dishes and of course
pastries! Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to try any of the pastries but
they look delicious!
Can't
wait till my next visit to Simplylife - and I'm already missing their banana
tart haha.
Simply cakes, simply beautiful, Simplylife :)
