Luna de Miel (Moon of the Honey) from Mad About Sucre – French spring honey mousse, blood orange and caviar, savore sponge, and short pastry. While the initial vertical fork dive delivered a seemingly singular blood orange message, samplings of the various individual components revealed their respective charms – the…
“Apple of My Eye” gourmet cheesecake, a Mother’s Day special item from online patisserie Cat & the Fiddle. Essentially an apple pie which randomly fell from the clouds and conveniently plopped onto a cheesecake cushion with a digestive biscuit base. The apple chunks were not of the gooey variety but were rambunctious…
Brandied chocolate mille crepe cake from The Udder Pancake. Essentially a chocolate-flavoured crepe-y cake with distinct layers, served with a syringe of brandy for a small dose of syrupy brandy over the cake if you are a clutch pearl type of prude, or for rampant squirtage if you are a…
Jasmin from Antoinette, which is available for both order and dine-in as a Mother’s Day 2015 special item. Essentially a jasmine tea-infused chiffon cake which has accidentally strayed onto the set of a Chinese wuxia period drama and got pelted by the props simulating various vicious Oriental-style attacks such as…
Ispahan cupcake from Fluff Bakery. The cupcake was ridiculously moist and delicious, with the fragrance of rose permeating from every pore of both cake and cream whilst an entire piece of succulent, juicy lychee waits patiently within. Now I understand why people queue. 4.2/5 Fluff Bakery 12 Jalan Pisang Singapore…
Peanut cake from Tête-à-Tête Café. Essentially mee chiam kueh (peanut pancake), peanut butter and crunchy/gooey muah chee (glutinous rice balls coated with peanut and sugar) having a playful romp in a hyper-delicious ménage à trois. The muah chee bits were to die for, and this was amazing. 4.1/5 P.S. The peanut…
Spiral from Gobi Desserts. Essentially a simple, nice and warm chocolate cake hiding a rather delinquent and very wet rum surprise centre, topped with vanilla ice cream and nuts. Who knew gentle heat and alcohol had so much The Fault in Our Stars-esque chemistry? 3.9/5 Gobi Desserts 350 Joo Chiat…
Le Lapin from Antoinette – 66% dark chocolate mousse with peanut feuilletine and caramel peanut, raspberry marmalade, chocolate genoise with rum. I should have went straight for the dark chocolate part and avoided the white altogether, as the latter was like a spurned ex-lover who can’t let go and persistently…
Salted Caramel Pretzel Cheesecake from Little Hiro. A dense, burly American-style cheesecake which must be shared as it probably constitutes a very heavy lunch for two sixteen year old girls. Loved the saltiness of the pretzels! 3.5/5 [Tasting courtesy of Little Hiro.] Little Hiro 559 Bukit Timah Road Singapore 269695
