Academïcs Pancake Tower from The Coffee Academïcs Singapore – layered pancakes topped with mixed berries and blueberry coulis, served with berry sorbet and whipped cream. The enormously-filling and portentously looming structure had the heat-trapping cottony fluffiness of an ungroomed Pomeranian, whilst elsewhere the jammy berry sorbet had a Joo Chiat-esque…
Orange Cinnamon French Toast from 20F Specialty Coffeehouse – orange cinnamon, french toast, bacon, mixed berries, maple mascarpone. Wisps of aromatic orange peels lurked within the happily eggy toast, whilst elsewhere the bacon gets a silver star sticker for doing good in crackling crispiness class. 3.8/5 20F Specialty Coffeehouse 20…
Berry Ricotta Hotcake from Curious Palette – vanilla ice cream, fresh seasonal berries, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.

Diminishing marginal returns sets in rather quickly, though. 3.7/5 Curious Palette 64…

Amaretto cacao mousse with blackcurrant granita and fresh berries from Roots Kitchen & Bar. Essentially a thick sweet chocolate mousse in mid-embrace with a squirmingly-sour Ribena glacier, with the resulting combination of extreme taste profiles being a clash of Titanic proportions. 3/5 Roots Kitchen & Bar 30 Dickson Road Singapore…
BRB Pancake from Artistry – wild blueberries and ricotta pancake topped with vanilla bean ice cream, streaky bacon and fresh berries, drizzled with maple syrup. Essentially the oral equivalent of a warm smother by Aphrodite’s bosom. 4/5 Artistry 17 Jalan Pinang Singapore 199149
Mixed berries Bingsu. The equivalent of putting a naked panda and monitor lizard in bed and expecting lusty sparks to fly. Whilst the shaved milk ice remains undeniably velvety soft and the berries were legit, there was zero chemistry between the two, and I was left rather confused by it…
