Passioné – passionfruit and a blend of cheeses on a sponge and coconut sable base, served with cocoa nibs. The cake was smooth and rich, with no bitchy upstaging drama going on – the passionfruit dominates for the first few seconds in your mouth but eventually cedes to the cheese…
Waffle with Lavender and Earl Grey ice cream. The Lavender was essentially a Paddle Pop/Mint hybrid who just came back from the loo that had Lavender air freshener, while the Earl Grey put up a suitably valiant fight against the mighty Sunday Folks soft serve monster. The waffle was sweet…
Coco Citron – coconut mousse, lemon curd and coconut sablee tart, with crushed sugar diamonds. So light, I’m floating on clouds. But then some of the crushed sugar diamonds crackled and popped loudly in my mouth and I was so startled, I fell all the way down. 3.7/5 Mad About…
Valentine’s Fruit shaved ice with yam topping. Essentially the love child of kiwi and green apple in sorbet-esque form, and delightfully refreshing.

Undoubtedly one of the best brioche French toast I have ever tried – the brioche is fluffier than an Angora rabbit and decidedly un-breadlike in texture. Paired with the restrained salted caramel and goreng pisang-esque sweet and gooey banana…
Banana beignets – fried-to-order cake-battered bananas served with condensed milk and freshly grated Parmesan. This banana boat (oh brother, you didn’t – Editor) was really goreng pisang putting on a Barbarella accent but not entirely convincing me with its Ang Moh intentions. Judging dem banana balls as goreng pisang, however,…
