Coffee Tart from Tarte by Cheryl Koh. Like a dark, roasty Kopi Gao fantasy. 3.9/5 Tarte by Cheryl Koh 350 Orchard Road #01-12 Shaw House Singapore 238868
Black Glutinous Coconut Mousse Cake from Bakersfield – steam baked black glutinous sponge, pumpkin creamux, coconut panna cotta, lime sable. While a vertical fork-dive nets you a rather watery coconut experience, patient exploration of the individual layers will reward – you get to better know and understand the cake beyond mere…
Pistachio Strawberry Tart from Bakersfield. The tart base was curiously more sultana cake (!) than crust while the pistachio cream, instead of being overtly explicit with shoving its nuts all up our grill, was a fluffy whipped dream of a leader, gentleman and bilingual scholar of high integrity and robust…

Just buah keluak, naked…

Caramelised Mango with Textures of Coconut from Open Farm Community. Generally faultless, apart from how everything seems somehow (over)familiar and then you look at the $17 price tag and go hmmm. 3.7/5 Open Farm Community 130E Minden Road Singapore 248819
8 Spices Apple Crumble with Crème Anglaise from Open Farm Community. Deceptively simplistic labelling, but the “crumble” here is a sum of many distinct parts – part warm and lovingly sweet apple chunks, part hard and nutty crunch, and part chao tar and intensely smoky bits which evoke memories of…
