Blueberry Ricotta Cheesecake from Two Bakers. Essentially a living and breathing Kraft cheese slice creature in an amorous bear embrace with dairy-tempering blueberry. 3.7/5 Two Bakers 88 Horne Road Singapore 209083
Portico Favourites high tea menu at Portico Prime. Terrific value for money for the quality and quantity on display. The chilled truffle-scented angel hair pasta with avruga caviar and kawa ebi shrimps barges into your sensory pleasure memory orbs with the rapacious ruthlessness of a disgruntled Bukit Gombak-residing Ah Ma…
Saveurs de Printemps from Mad About Sucre – French earl grey apricot mousse, Savoire sponge, blood orange and grapefruit insert. The presence of the classily demure and full-bodied earl grey is only detected after it has successfully materialised and condensed on your tongue, and elsewhere the citrusy elements within send…
A Compter Du Printemps from Mad About Sucre – strawberry cream, lemon mousse, French champagne, raspberry, almond sponge cake, croustillant. The posh champagne jelly was inappropriately inebriated to such a degree that it probably contravened something in the Liquor Control Act, whilst elsewhere the glacial and understated strawberry cream struck…
Milk cake, passionfruit sorbet and toasted almonds from Bochinche. Tastes exactly as its name describes – a winsome, orgiastic union of milk and cake, with the passionfruit sorbet bringing some tartiness to the party. 4/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Bochinche. Bochinche 22 Martin Road #02-01 Singapore 239058
Christmas Cake from Mad About Sucre – aged brandy, apricot, cranberries, currant, citrus peels, vanilla light rum sauce, and rum chantilly cream. Essentially the gustatory equivalent of seeing your familiar friend of many years in (ahem) naughty and slightly inappropriate Santa attire for the first time. The alcoholic fumes diffuse…
Sweets from the Hi-Tea Buffet at House. Whilst the Orange Sweet Potatoes Tart was starchily suited and the coffee soil-topped Caramel Banana Cake Flowerpot was like Hermione Granger in salt class, the rich Curry Leaf Almond Brownie swished its savoury saree in glee and the yummy sweet gloop atop the…
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…
Chendol Cheesecake from Bloomsbury Bakers. The fusion of gula melaka and cheesecake here (in particular with reference to the cheesecake body itself) comes across as a well-conceptualised and consensual marriage instead of gula melaka’s forceful invasion of cheesecake’s purity and virtues, with the chendol elements – crunchy attap chee, corn,…
