TBB savoury croissants from Tiong Bahru Bakery – Jumping Fish (smoked salmon with spinach and ricotta), Running Egg (molten ramen egg with bonito and chilli flakes), Rolling Dumpling (pork and chives topped with pickled ginger, black vinegar dressing and chives), and Flying Pig (artisanal onion jam with spicy pork sausage…
Chocolate Belgian waffles with Choc-A-Baby, Balsamic Strawberry and Milk & Honey flavoured gelato from Milk and Honey Gelato. The crispy waffles had intensely gooey brownie-esque flesh, while separately the dark chocolate was very dark and rich, the strawberry was coquettishly sour and the signature Milk & Honey was like white…
The Black mille crepe cake from Champs Patisserie – a combination of vanilla, Oreo and chocolate flavours. While a vertical fork-dive reaps an uneasily but largely chocolate experience, the individual layers taste distinct from each other enough to indeed feel like you are having three different cakes. The value! 3.8/5 Champs…
Pancake Soufflé with Peach from Hoshino Coffee Singapore. Whilst the signature pancake souffle was probably made with magical Angora bunny fur, the peaches were unfortunately a tad Del Monte. 3.7/5 P.S. I had a similar item at a Hoshino Coffee outlet in Tokyo and the peach slices used were fresh,…

Hokkaido chocolate milk mille crepe from Doi Chaang. The equivalent of ordering Lychee Green Tea at Share Tea, Chatime or similar and then finding out that it is actually lychee tea with added chlorophyll. 3.1/5 Doi Chaang 35 Rochester Drive #01-08 Rochester Mall Singapore 138639
