Torrija from Catalunya Singapore – soft and sweet warm bread with smoked milk ice cream. Whilst the bread expertly toed the line between comfortably and dangerously sweet, the smoked milk ice cream was the gustatory equivalent of an urgent, uninhibited French kiss (tongues ahoy) with an irresistible femme fatale who…
Madagascan vanilla soft serve on double waffles from Sunday Folks. The madagascan vanilla was texturally professional – although for some reason an image of a Baygon can popped up in my head as soon as my tongue made contact – but it is likely to be one of Sunday Folks’…
After You toast with Thai basil and Chocolate Chip ice cream from Som Tam. Compared to Tuk Tuk Cha’s golden crumbliness, the saltily buttery toast here is of a notably softer, gentler ilk and elsewhere, the Thai basil and chocolate chip combination tasted like chippy tropical jungle. 3.9/5 Som Tam…
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.

Cotton-pop waffle with lavender honey and earl grey & fig ice cream from Bunny and Pony. Essentially the perfect funfair/pasar malam-themed date night dessert for lovey dovey couples. The waffles were sweet, soft and crispy on the outside, while the consumption process for the cotton candy may prove to irk…
Charcoal waffle with pistachio ice cream from Claude’s. The whipped cream was as necessary as the adjectives “frozen” and “free” when using the words ice and gifts respectively (these are examples of “tautology” – English Language Editor) but the pistachio ice cream was deeply roasty, the waffle as soft as…
Charcoal waffle with salted egg yolk sauce and added Famous Amos and Thai Red Tea ice cream from Twenty Grammes. The charcoal waffle itself was soft and bread-like, whilst the gooey salted egg yolk sauce had the grace and refinement of an Orchard Towers performance artiste. Elsewhere, the Famous Amos…
The Great Red Ocean – Drambuie, Southern Comfort, Smirnoff Vodka, lime juice, cranberry juice, cinnamon, mint. The first thing I realised is that Capri by Fraser doesn’t stinge or pussyfoot when it comes to alcohol. Disappointingly, the lobster cocktail does not consist of murdered crustacean mush, merely a chunkful of…
