Nonya Chendol Waffle from Shrove Tuesday – azuki red beans, green jello and Nonya chendol gelato. The glazed and slightly sour waffle felt like a paean to slightly burnt toast, being crispy to the point of knife strikes plate with a clang, whilst elsewhere the rich gelato was expertly conservative…
Lemon & White Chocolate Sundae from Populus – Tahitian vanilla ice cream, fresh lemon jelly, white chocolate sauce, meringue kisses, white chocolate crumb, cornflake crumble, citron mascarpone.
