Mojito cocktail sphere, with grapefruit rind and lime zest. Felt like a glitzy, oversized version of those flavoured “pop” balls in beverages that explode upon bite, only naughtier and more insidious – you get a citrusy grand explosion with little hint of its alcoholic intentions whilst it swirls in your…
Belgian dark chocolate tart – Belgium dark chocolate and ganache, with a coffee and Baileys topping. Unlike some other places that proudly boast about their alcohol usage but it turns out more Corinne Bailey Rae than Baileys, the cream here is the real McCoy, immediately confirmable with one taste. Tart…
Tip of the Iceberg – slow-melting vanilla bean gelato iceberg afloat in Baileys and Kahlua soup, crusted with Nutella rocks and nut crunch. When was the last time you drank creamy alcohol from a bowl with a spoon? To misquote a recent sitcom episode: “I am making out with (it)…
Flower Temptation – sautéed pineapple and two types of chocolate mousse beneath a flower-shaped sugar bowl, which is flambéed with orange liqueur. Much of the bill goes towards paying for the glorious pyrotechnics performed right at your very own table, as well as for the copious amounts of liqueur that,…

Tiramisu. Very potent, and very wet. 4.25/5 Artistry 7 Jalan Pinang Singapore 199149
Black Forest Cake from Stuttgart Blackforest Boutique S-Café. Don’t let the innocuous synthetic cherry at the top fool you – the hardcore soaked cherries were hidden within and so potent I was beside myself with delirious delight. A biscuit crumbly base added some crunchy bite in an otherwise totally soft cake.…
