Belgian dark chocolate tart – Belgium dark chocolate and ganache, with a coffee and Baileys topping. Unlike some other places that proudly boast about their alcohol usage but it turns out more Corinne Bailey Rae than Baileys, the cream here is the real McCoy, immediately confirmable with one taste. Tart…
Tip of the Iceberg – slow-melting vanilla bean gelato iceberg afloat in Baileys and Kahlua soup, crusted with Nutella rocks and nut crunch. When was the last time you drank creamy alcohol from a bowl with a spoon? To misquote a recent sitcom episode: “I am making out with (it)…
Flower Temptation – sautéed pineapple and two types of chocolate mousse beneath a flower-shaped sugar bowl, which is flambéed with orange liqueur. Much of the bill goes towards paying for the glorious pyrotechnics performed right at your very own table, as well as for the copious amounts of liqueur that,…
Hojicha Sesame ほうじ茶セサミ ー tofu parfait, hojicha custard, and pear vodka sorbet. Easily the most nuanced and exciting of the three desserts I tried on my latest visit. There are flourishes like mushroom crumble, ginger gel and white chocolate ganache to ensure that you can experiment with a bajillion combinations…
Cassis Plum 梅カシス ー cassis bombe, elderflower yogurt foam, plum liqueur, and bamboo shoots. Like the gorgeous girl that initially dazzles and has a promising start, but who eventually falters as you realise it’s all make-up magic and she doesn’t have the substance and personality underneath all that glacial beauty.…
Hunky Village Tiramisu, with a shot of Kahlua. Tasted like an unholy union of cake and ice cream, and the copious amount of Kahlua earns it extra horns. One of my favourite Tiramisus around. 4.5/5 The Garden Slug 55 Lorong L Telok Kurau #01-59/61 Bright Centre Singapore 425500

Black Forest Cake from Stuttgart Blackforest Boutique S-Café. Don’t let the innocuous synthetic cherry at the top fool you – the hardcore soaked cherries were hidden within and so potent I was beside myself with delirious delight. A biscuit crumbly base added some crunchy bite in an otherwise totally soft cake.…
