French Toast from Red Baron – brioche, gula melaka, bananas and coconut ice cream, with a sprinkling of desiccated coconut. While the coconut elements did their jobs admirably and the brioche had a nice and remarkably eggy middle, the edges of the toast made me suspect that the brioche may…
Baileys, After Eight and White Rabbit Candy ice cream from Dessert Project. The Baileys and After Eight did what was expected of them like professionally obedient trained puppies, but the White Rabbit Candy was a memorable blast from the past, recreating that signature milkiness in your mouth like a milk ice ball…
Mango bingsu with soft serve at Snowman Desserts. The soft serve was like McDonald’s ice cream, but with the cow’s mammary glands on hyper super-milky overdrive. The mango chunks were massive, soft and sweet, but somehow the milk snow here was less snowy and more icy than I expected, and…
Snow White in the Blackforest from Halia (Singapore Botanic Gardens) – fresh red apple sorbet in a white chocolate casing, kirsch marinated cherries, dark choux branch, chocolate crumble, whipped cream and castor sugar soil.

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…

Have the cookies warm as they are served, smash them into crumbs and have warm cookie cereal, or mix the crumbs with the ice…
Madagascan vanilla ice cream with Guinness draught and Créme de Mure from The Naked Finn. The vanilla ice cream sinks and melts with greater haste than Road Runner from the Looney Tunes, so you essentially get a very boozy, fizzy alcoholic milkshake. 3.8/5 The Naked Finn 39 Malan Road Gillman Barracks…
Waffle with blueberry and strawberry ice cream from Brownice. The waffle was as humble as a bespectacled, holey singlet-wearing ten-year-old who helps his father out at a char kway teow stall at Whampoa Drive Food Centre, while the vegan, organic ice cream was surprisingly enjoyable – the blueberry was like…
