Llaomango Sanum from Llaollao (Marina Bay Sands). Essentially the usual llaollao yogurt with an added fragrant tropical aftertaste, whilst elsewhere the sour mango chunks had an unripe manly crunchiness. 3.9/5 The llaomango flavour is only available at the Marina Bay Sands outlet from 1 – 20 February 2016. Llaollao (Marina…
You know it’s the season of raw fish flinging, annoyingly grating chingchonglinglong soundtracks and awkward questions from nosey aunties about why you’re still a Singleton/your lack of procreative products when festive goodies like these Lunar New Year-themed macarons from Bonheur Patisserie start popping up. Bonheur Patisserie (Raffles City) 252 North…
Apgujeong Bingsoo from Patbingsoo, the Korean shaved ice dessert concept within Seorae – cheese, cheese sauce, cheesecake, cheese wafer, vanilla ice cream. The deep yellow cheese strands did not hide their desire for InstaMouse fame and the orange crumbs were essentially reincarnations of everybody’s favourite childhood Super Ring snack, but…
Handmade Pineapple Tarts from TCC – The Connoisseur Concerto. Nope, these aren’t monkeys with evolutionarily shifted ears but are actually Pros-Bear-Rity Bears! Taste-wise the bears probably have a disciplinarian momma as they were gentle in butteriness and fairly restrained in sweetness. These tarts are available at all TCC outlets islandwide.

Earl Grey Caramel Waffle from Atlas Coffeehouse – earl grey caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream. The dusky earl grey beauty vanishes into the night as mysteriously as she appeared, whilst elsewhere the waffle maintains a light crisp on the outside while having a buttery 3-ply softness on the inside. 4/5…

Suitably refreshing – save for the bodaciously wince-inducing sorbet (which probably had too much whisky the night before as it was served particularly soft instead of in its usual quenelle form), the other sour elements were restrained in…
TNT from Non Entrée Dessert Cafe. There is enough kinetic energy from all the fizziness from the raspberry poprocks and yuzu form to power a small fart, whilst elsewhere the pistachio sponge smells all masculinely nutty, the lychee sorbet and marinated strawberry basil lend a playful sweetness to the proceedings,…
Assembly’s Brick Toast from Assembly Coffee – “Shibuya” honey brick toasts topped with vanilla ice cream, artisan honey Greek yogurt and fruits. Essentially mega crispy sugar biscuit cubes with razor-sharp, stiletto heel-esque edges. 3.7/5 Assembly Coffee 26 Evans Road Singapore 259367
