Coconut Shibuya Toast from Tuk Tuk Cha. The air-fried golden toast had probably given its delectably crumbly innards a nice spray-on Lurpak butter tan as even one’s internal organs sometimes crave a nice summer glow for topless selfies and Instagram likes-collecting, etc. Elsewhere, the crunchy young coconut flesh tasted its primary…
Gianduja Parfait from Karafuru Desserts – hazelnut soufflé, chocolate pudding, hazelnut and orange crisp, dark chocolate curd, candied orange, curaçao sauce. In contrast to the sketchy cultural appropriation of the Matchazuke, this parfait understands the orange/chocolate dynamic and plays up their chemistry well without unnecessary pandering. The orange elements fare considerably better…
Eclairs from Dulcet & Studio – (from top) Ethiopian coffee with nuts, mini exotic (melon and mint), chocolate, and corn. If you buy four eclairs, the pricing is almost buy-3-get-1-free, so naturally we went for it. Off the bat, we noted that the choux pastry had a certain airy coarseness to…
Aquarium Japone from Henri Charpentier – matcha, chocolate, white chocolate and yuzu mousse. The chocolate cap over the aquarium – wherein honeycomb, crumble and green tea sponge reside – disintegrates dramatically when hot chocolate is poured over it, and the dessert eventually segues into a green tea take on Eton’s…
Matchazuke from Karafuru Desserts – matcha soufflé, vanilla pudding, jasmine crème anglaise, mizu-yokan, dango, matcha langue de chat. The pound cake-esque matcha cake, intensely flavoured cat’s tongue (or long du shah if you’re all posh) and matcha sauce certainly put the matcha in this Matchazuke. However, the yogurt swirl (which…
Prosecco panna cotta with morello cherry and chocolate sauce from In ITALY. The dessert equivalent of French-kissing a pasty chunk of almond paste who has had four glasses of wine and not yet chewed on any Mentos. 3.7/5 In ITALY 38 Craig Road Singapore 089676
Zabaglione (The Italian Viagra) from In ITALY – Moscato sabayon with crumble and peach sorbet. Essentially thick, warm, wine-soaked bread mush that could have been whipped personally by Aphrodite herself. Sloshed enough a dessert to sufficiently satisfy hard up (ahem – Editor) degenerate drunks. 4/5 In ITALY 38 Craig Road…
The Great Red Ocean – Drambuie, Southern Comfort, Smirnoff Vodka, lime juice, cranberry juice, cinnamon, mint. The first thing I realised is that Capri by Fraser doesn’t stinge or pussyfoot when it comes to alcohol. Disappointingly, the lobster cocktail does not consist of murdered crustacean mush, merely a chunkful of…
Bombe Alaska (pregnant with raspberry ice cream) from Pool Grill. Both pyromaniacs and degenerate drunks will enjoy this sweet treat, flambéed at your seat and so indulgently sloshed that you are likely to end the meal tittering deliriously about dragons and Teletubbies. 3.8/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Pool…
