Chocolate molten lava cake, flambé with Sambuca and Grand Marnier and served with vanilla ice cream. The cake was fairly competent and the lava thick and oozy, but the alcohol – two separate glasses brought to the table and poured over the cake in a tragic flop of a pyrotechnic…
Red velvet waffle with pandan kaya and lychee rose ice cream. The waffle had crispy edges but was a warm cross between sticky goo and bread on the inside, with an ever so faint bitterness. Whilst the lychee rose was fragrant, creamy and competent, I very much preferred the pandan…
Churros Amigo – sweet potato dough fritters fried til crispy, served with vanilla ice cream. Like a massive sweet potato fry bear-hugging a fluffy doughnut. 3.7/5 Sunday Market 22 Lim Tua Tow Road Singapore 547772
Kyoho Grape Cream ice cream with waffle. The former tasted exactly like a creamy grape Yakult whilst the latter was mildly crispy on the outside and rather bread-like and tough on the inside, resisting the knifing with as much stubbornness as a gruff Encik from SISPEC. 3.3/5 Sunday Market 22…
Framboise Delight – raspberry mousse, raspberry compote, lady fingers sponge, pistachios and raspberry crispies. Very classy-looking and the display indicated the use of alcohol, so expectations were high. However, just like the moment when I peeled the wrapper off my first chocolate coin when I was a baby, I realised…
Carrot cake. Massively sized and filling without being too cheesy or sweet. The numerous treasures within – raisins and nuts etc – are nicely distributed so each mouthful tastes different texturally. I like how they serve the cakes on a big circular tray that provides for klutzy cake toppling. 3.8/5…
Mad About Dolce – creamy cafe dolce tainted with hazelnut chocolate, with a nutty ring around the edges of the glass. Essentially a persuasive Baileys imitation as prepared by a sugar-obsessed spammer. I wished a Baileys version existed somewhere – being intoxicated and not self-aware would be the preferred state…
Choc Rocher Cheesecake. Rich, indulgent and only cheesecakey in its gooey texture. The Oreo-esque crumbs hiding below the cake assist in taking the edge off the sweet hazelnut richness. Essential that you share, otherwise it would be a richness that eventually segues to misery. On an unrelated note, my dining…
Leite creme com farofias flutantes em nuvem de caramelo – vanilla custard, egg white “clouds” in caramel. Essentially a dessert consisting of a foamy marshmallow relaxing in a pool of smooth, eggy custard with a massive spider-spun caramel golden sugar web serving as a luxurious canopy, although the disgruntled spider…
