Your annoying “this is my hidden gem” faux-hipster, Tong Ah Eating House-esque set meal with soft-boiled eggs and kaya butter toast…or the Singapore Breakfast (coconut panna cotta “soft-boiled egg” with exotic “yolk”, topped with gula melaka “soy sauce” and cinnamon “pepper powder”, and served with kaya parfait toast) from Non…
Handcrafted Tart with Mandy-Go Sorbet (mandarin orange and mango) from Geometry. The mandarin orange and mango flavours were so passionately enmeshed in their amorous physicality that you can’t tell when either element starts and ends. Elsewhere, the soft, buttery tart possessed a crumbling, cake-like personality, yielding to your knife like…
Honey Shibuya Toast with Orh Nee and Mango Lime Ice Cream from Double Scoops. The toast had a sturdy fortress protecting its decidedly bready and restrainedly buttered insides, while elsewhere the orh nee was a rich, creamy yam marvel and the mango lime was notably more former than latter, being…
Super Ducky from Non Entrée Desserts – crème fraiche pudding, fresh mango purée, sago, biscuit, frozen exotic cocktail ducky sat on a lemongrass cloud. Essentially a luscious mango duck soaking lazily in a luxurious lemongrass spa, using yogurt-tau huay body butter for suppler skin. 4/5 The Super Ducky is a…
Llaomango Sanum from Llaollao (Marina Bay Sands).

Llaollao (Marina…
Tropical Paradise toast from Les Patisseries – coconut brioche, fresh mango, caramelised pineapple, candied almond, mango sorbet. The thick, tall toasts are bread trees, and the other tropical elements a refreshing sweet waterfall that cascades relentlessly. 3.6/5 Les Patisseries 222 Upper Thomson Road Singapore S574354
Rubber Ducky from Non Entrée Desserts – crème fraiche pudding, fresh mango purée, sago, biscuit, frozen exotic cocktail ducky sat on a lemongrass cloud. Essentially a pleasing reinterpretation of mango sago dessert – think a fresh, luscious mango marvel having a bit of a spa day (which explains the soothingly…
Ding Dong mango from Ding Dong. Essentially a ménage à trois involving three mango dessert concepts (mango sago pomelo, mango lassi and textures of mango) which ultimately remained cautiously tame and generated less heat than expected. 3.7/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Ding Dong. Ding Dong 23 Ann Siang…
Mango Shibuya Toast from Tuk Tuk Cha. The memorable air-fried golden toast (which I had earlier described as having the delectably crumbling crispiness of a century-embalmed Egyptian mummy) was gloriously buttery and elsewhere, the fleshy mango chunks and thick mango ice cream – easily able to pass off as the actual…
