Remember the scene from When Harry Met Sally, when Meg Ryan makes fake orgasmic noises, with pants, groans, hair ruffling and table pounding with an ecstatic, "Yes, YES!"?
We aren't embarrassed to say that with less restraint, we could've easily exclaimed the same as we scooped into the Kahlua Tiramisu, one of our many New Year resolution-breaking indulgences at the newly opened cutesy bakery Tart.

The tiny space, run by Ashiana Shroff, who also runs the Chinese-Thai restaurant Vong Wong, stocks a range of desserts including cupcakes, cheesecakes and ufffdclairs as well as savouries like buns and Thai Curry.
The signature Red Velvet Cupcake (Rs 55) was soft but what made us happier was the generous cream cheese topping. Being an Oreo Cookie fanatic, we weren't completely sold on this cupcake version, though.
Disappointing was the vegetarian Panang Curry Bun (Rs 35) that came in a microwaveable Ziplock bag. The Thai curry in the bun had a distinctive coconut milky flavour, like it should. But honestly, it tasted more like a Monginis pattice filling inside a dumpling.
The Hummus (Rs 70) and Lavash (Rs 30) made for a super snack, though the hummus was on the tangier side.

The cute brownies (Rs 35) with striped, pastel-coloured icing were of the perfect melt-in-the- mouth variety while the Chocolate Eclair (Rs 45) came served with generous amounts of whipped cream.
But the star of the evening was undoubtedly, the Kahlua Tiramisu (Rs 50). Unbelievably light, it left us smug. Blame it on the more-than-welcome alcohol content.
