Big Lub’s Carrot Cake. Despite the carrot cake seemingly wearing a highly avant garde and fashionable carcass of a deceased bird on its back, it tastes extraordinarily masculine. The coconut shavings were the most memorable bits, all rough and gnaw-gnaw-gnaw in your mouth. The carrot cake itself was dense and…
Black Pearl – gianduia syrup, organic salt and chocoballs, with an added handcrafted macaron. A significantly less milky experience than I had with the Green Light flavour, to the extent that the heavy-handed combination of Nutella-esque sauce and Milo-esque balls and powder dominates the experience and virtually eliminates all traces…
Peach & Salted Yolk Tart – slices of brûléed peaches and pistachio bits, sitting atop a sour cream coffee cake with a molten salted yolk filling, served hot. Essentially a tart jacuzzi filled to the brim with salted yolk in a light-tasting custard-esque form, with sweet peach slices soaking lazily…
Paddlepop cheesecake, earl grey cheesecake and almond coco.

Rose yogurt panna cotta with fruits and raspberry coulis. The rose yogurt panna cotta was like a subdued Bandung pudding who didn’t wash its mouth after indulging its Llaollao cravings. If you top a spoonful of pudding with the lychee and try it with the raspberry coulis, it makes for…

The ginger element of the pudding is not immediately apparent, but when you use your tongue to slowly process the experience (instead of just chewing and swallowing like a common…
Lemon – lemon curd, lemon cake, crumble, and torched marshmallows. A peculiar case of deconstruction being so technically masterful and the lemon tart sensory experience being so faithfully and flawlessly recreated that it renders the entire exercise otiose. Still a good lemon tart though. 3.6/5 Selfish Gene Patisserie 40A Craig…
Matcha Strawberry Field Waffle – green tea waffle, strawberry, mango passionfruit spheres and vanilla ice cream. The waffle is quite intriguing – the fragrance of green tea lingers, but only a faint bitterness in the waffle explicitly betrays its matcha nature. The waffle has a crispy exterior and is warm…
