Melon Snow Milk Bingsu from Snowman Desserts. Despite the visual distractions offered by the veiny green dress, the Marge Simpson hairdo and the admittedly entertaining juggling of orange balls, inevitable is the realisation that the so-named snow milk ice that lies beneath has as much personality as those fake accounts…
Over-The-Top Shakes from the rebranded The Benjamins at Forum – (from left) Nutella Banana, Old School Vanilla and Coffee Avocado. The big afro-ed Scary Spice (you need to update your pop culture references – Editor) is all attention-seeking with its bright hair dye, pink accessory and Nicki Minaj-esque get-up but…
BRB Pancake from Artistry – wild blueberries and ricotta pancake topped with vanilla bean ice cream, streaky bacon and fresh berries, drizzled with maple syrup. Essentially the oral equivalent of a warm smother by Aphrodite’s bosom. 4/5 Artistry 17 Jalan Pinang Singapore 199149
The Black mille crepe cake from Champs Patisserie – a combination of vanilla, Oreo and chocolate flavours. While a vertical fork-dive reaps an uneasily but largely chocolate experience, the individual layers taste distinct from each other enough to indeed feel like you are having three different cakes. The value! 3.8/5 Champs…
Butterscotch popcorn waffle with artisanal vanilla bean ice cream, banana and crushed nuts from Hyde & Co. The waffle was razor crispy on the outside and the combination of popcorn and crushed nuts provided a substantial amount of jaw activity while the butterscotch, probably fearful of heights, antisocially remained in…
Meringue accompanied by homemade sangria from Henri Charpentier. The sticky and chewy almond meringue tasted like a cross between peanut butter and a powdery caramel popcorn. Elsewhere, the apricot, figs and raisins were ever so slightly tipsy on Jolly Shandy. 3.6/5 Henri Charpentier Singapore 9A Dempsey Road Singapore 247698
Mango bingsu from Snowy Village. Compared to the erect confidence of the towering bingsus from most other Korean joints, this contender looked majorly flaccid and lethargic. The mangoes tasted like they have led rather fruitful long lives, while the milk ice positively showered me with unadulterated love from Mummy Cow’s…
La Camibi from Mad About Sucre – Corsica almonds creme, Algeria hazelnut crunch, Madagascar vanilla mousse, almond sponge cake topped with candied hazelnuts. Essentially an ice cream dream. The mousse has the texture of a light, classy ice cream, the sponge was lighter than a fairy’s wings, while the hazelnut…
Ondeh Ondeh pancake from Collective Brewers – traditional buttermilk pancakes infused with aromatic pandan and stacked on shredded coconut and melted palm sugar coating, served with vanilla ice cream. The pancakes were extremely aromatic and rather buttery, and reminded me of the fragrance and texture of a slightly uncooked waffle…
