Berry Ricotta Hotcake from Curious Palette – vanilla ice cream, fresh seasonal berries, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Essentially a gargantuan-sized McDonald’s Hotcake with five times the thickness, and a fluffiness that’s more Border Collie and less Dachshund. Diminishing marginal returns sets in rather quickly, though. 3.7/5 Curious Palette 64…
Lemon & White Chocolate Sundae from Populus – Tahitian vanilla ice cream, fresh lemon jelly, white chocolate sauce, meringue kisses, white chocolate crumb, cornflake crumble, citron mascarpone.

Sweets from the Hi-Tea Buffet at House. Whilst the Orange Sweet Potatoes Tart was starchily suited and the coffee soil-topped Caramel Banana Cake Flowerpot was like Hermione Granger in salt class, the rich Curry Leaf Almond Brownie swished its savoury saree in glee and the yummy sweet gloop atop the…
Banana-Bailey from Roots Kitchen & Bar – bread & butter pudding of bananas, walnut, Nutella, and creamy Bailey. The Bailey strides in and pulls you in with its irresistible alcoholic machismo, whilst elsewhere the moist, wet and eggy pudding is two thirds bread and one third goreng pisang. 3.6/5 Roots…
On Cloud Nine Waffle from Revelry – lemon curd, toasted marshmallows, candy floss and vanilla ice cream on Belgian waffle. The waffle was crisp and airy with a slight burntness to it, and there was a distinct air of Sahara desert to the concept that neither the sweet and slightly…
