Chilli Banana with Triple Chocolate Ice Cream from the newly-opened 5 Senses in Bedok Point. It’s like having your tongue gently flogged with a chilli seed-studded, rawish gooey banana belt and then have your tongue lovingly caressed by a soothing chocolatey ice cream immediately after. 3.7/5 5 Senses 799 New…
Gooey Banana Donuts “Milo Dinosaur” with Milo crumbs, condensed milk and hazelnuts from Redpan. Despite both being mid-embrace, the piping hot goreng pisang-esque balls maintained a frosty emotional disconnect from the Milo crumbs, with the latter gazing longingly across the room at the delectably roasty hazelnuts as Steps’ “It’s The…
The Ultimate (Buttermilk Pancake) from La Ristrettos – salted caramel sauce, bananas, pancetta. Essentially the happy McDonald’s hotcakes you had as a kid but now all grown up, with luscious chestnut locks and donning a sleek café apron. The salted caramel sauce would probably make you reminisce for plastic-boxed butter…

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…
Burnt banana mille-feuille from Canopy Garden Bar – chocolate cremux, black sesame lace, banana & berry compote. The sugary pastry was puffy and cuttable, the banana slices were nicely caramelised and the chocolate cremux had the texture of ice cream, but the presence of the black sesame was as random…
Banana Nutella gelato in a liquid chocolate-filled cone from Churn Creamery. The gelato must be a psychic Pokémon/dark mage because the experience felt like a disorienting confusion spell was cast – it tastes like both banana and Nutella together and separately at the same time (if that makes any sense).…
