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
Orange Cinnamon French Toast from 20F Specialty Coffeehouse – orange cinnamon, french toast, bacon, mixed berries, maple mascarpone. Wisps of aromatic orange peels lurked within the happily eggy toast, whilst elsewhere the bacon gets a silver star sticker for doing good in crackling crispiness class. 3.8/5 20F Specialty Coffeehouse 20…
Gianduja Parfait from Karafuru Desserts – hazelnut soufflé, chocolate pudding, hazelnut and orange crisp, dark chocolate curd, candied orange, curaçao sauce. In contrast to the sketchy cultural appropriation of the Matchazuke, this parfait understands the orange/chocolate dynamic and plays up their chemistry well without unnecessary pandering. The orange elements fare considerably better…
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…
Crepe Suzette from Henri Charpentier. The crepe was very expertly and neatly folded in manner of army No. 4 before a stand-by-bed. Also noteworthy – how shiokly alcoholic my orange juice was. 3.9/5 Henri Charpentier Singapore 9A Dempsey Road Singapore 247698
Lover’s Set from Gobi Desserts – toast served with orange-pear, red and white dragonfruit fruit enzyme jams, and pineapple and red dragonfruit fruit enzyme shots. Essentially breakfast for grandfathers and grandmothers who are degenerate drunks. Whilst the white dragonfruit jam does not betray any overt signs of delinquency, the other elements…
Crepe suzette from L’Angelus – hot pancakes with fresh orange juice, flambées with Grand Marnier. Essentially a soft, doughy crepe coated with a thick, sweet, orange-y sauce. The Grand Marnier here is aggressive, making forceful passage into your system in vapour form via your throat. 4/5 L’Angelus 85 Club Street…
Grapefruit Dome from Concetto – a dome of orange and grapefruit, served with lemon meringue, grapefruit confit, honey mint sorbet and Grand Marnier. Essentially the perfect dessert for a hypothetical Preparation for Adult Modern Dining class for junior college/polytechnic students, at a price point suited for the same and an…
Orange halibut. The halibut was nicely flaky and the orange put on its best citrusy-sweet marmalade dress, but the overall experience (including the sides situation, i.e. the roasted potato and broccoli) did taste and feel rather Astons-esque. 3.4/5 Chew The Fat Block 6 Everton Park #01-18 Singapore 080006
