A Compter Du Printemps from Mad About Sucre – strawberry cream, lemon mousse, French champagne, raspberry, almond sponge cake, croustillant. The posh champagne jelly was inappropriately inebriated to such a degree that it probably contravened something in the Liquor Control Act, whilst elsewhere the glacial and understated strawberry cream struck…
Milk cake, passionfruit sorbet and toasted almonds from Bochinche. Tastes exactly as its name describes – a winsome, orgiastic union of milk and cake, with the passionfruit sorbet bringing some tartiness to the party. 4/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Bochinche. Bochinche 22 Martin Road #02-01 Singapore 239058
Cha Yen Krup from Whisk & Paddle – Mövenpick vanilla ice cream, butter sugar toasts, Thai tea macaron, Thai tea pastry cream, old-fashioned butter cake, graham crumbs and toasted almond flakes. The temperature difference between the toasty warm and icy cold elements was intriguingly diverting, while elsewhere the gentle vanilla…
Lemon meringue sundae from Bao Makers – lemon sponge, lemon curd, meringue, almond slices with vanilla ice cream. The awkward tension in the room of disparate mismatches could be sliced with a knife, with the Gobi-dry lemon sponge better off with a good dose of Cetaphil. 3.2/5 Bao Makers 78…
Cherry Pop from Non Entrée Desserts – cherry with Bols Kirsch & mascarpone form, earl grey jelly, chocolate soil, marinated cherry compote, flourless sponge and spicy cherry sorbet. Essentially a riotous sour carnival in your mouth – the wince-inducing and spicy cherry sorbet projects thousands of microscopic peppery pins onto…
The Soursop from Two Bakers – soursop cheesecake, Malibu infused vanilla cake, meringue, soursop gel, sable crumble and desiccated coconut. The soursop cheesecake ball must have done extensive meditation and ate a lot of almond/sesame dual paste at Hong Kong dessert cafes as it manages to achieve a harmonious yin-yang…
Matchazuke from Karafuru Desserts – matcha soufflé, vanilla pudding, jasmine crème anglaise, mizu-yokan, dango, matcha langue de chat. The pound cake-esque matcha cake, intensely flavoured cat’s tongue (or long du shah if you’re all posh) and matcha sauce certainly put the matcha in this Matchazuke. However, the yogurt swirl (which…
CY Burger from Chef Yamashita – lady finger sponge with brown sugar mousse and fresh fruits. Despite the cake sporting a rather Vietnamesey hat, the combination of fruits and smothering cream is decidedly Japanese, with the gula melaka-esque mousse giving the burger cake a touch of SG50 sophistication. 3.6/5 Chef…
Black Glutinous Coconut Mousse Cake from Bakersfield – steam baked black glutinous sponge, pumpkin creamux, coconut panna cotta, lime sable. While a vertical fork-dive nets you a rather watery coconut experience, patient exploration of the individual layers will reward – you get to better know and understand the cake beyond mere…
