“Apple of My Eye” gourmet cheesecake, a Mother’s Day special item from online patisserie Cat & the Fiddle. Essentially an apple pie which randomly fell from the clouds and conveniently plopped onto a cheesecake cushion with a digestive biscuit base. The apple chunks were not of the gooey variety but were rambunctious…
Brandied chocolate mille crepe cake from The Udder Pancake. Essentially a chocolate-flavoured crepe-y cake with distinct layers, served with a syringe of brandy for a small dose of syrupy brandy over the cake if you are a clutch pearl type of prude, or for rampant squirtage if you are a…
Jasmin from Antoinette, which is available for both order and dine-in as a Mother’s Day 2015 special item. Essentially a jasmine tea-infused chiffon cake which has accidentally strayed onto the set of a Chinese wuxia period drama and got pelted by the props simulating various vicious Oriental-style attacks such as…
Peanut cake from Tête-à-Tête Café. Essentially mee chiam kueh (peanut pancake), peanut butter and crunchy/gooey muah chee (glutinous rice balls coated with peanut and sugar) having a playful romp in a hyper-delicious ménage à trois. The muah chee bits were to die for, and this was amazing. 4.1/5 P.S. The peanut…
Spiral from Gobi Desserts. Essentially a simple, nice and warm chocolate cake hiding a rather delinquent and very wet rum surprise centre, topped with vanilla ice cream and nuts. Who knew gentle heat and alcohol had so much The Fault in Our Stars-esque chemistry? 3.9/5 Gobi Desserts 350 Joo Chiat…
Gobi Dessert’s signature Poire William – pear soaked in red dragonfruit fruit enzyme and baked with crème brulee. Whilst the red dragonfruit fruit enzyme (the naturally occurring alcoholic substance that I had previously raved about) is not as natural at donning Kylie disco hotpants, drunken headbops and inappropriate grinding at…
Le Lapin from Antoinette – 66% dark chocolate mousse with peanut feuilletine and caramel peanut, raspberry marmalade, chocolate genoise with rum. I should have went straight for the dark chocolate part and avoided the white altogether, as the latter was like a spurned ex-lover who can’t let go and persistently…
Salted Caramel Pretzel Cheesecake from Little Hiro. A dense, burly American-style cheesecake which must be shared as it probably constitutes a very heavy lunch for two sixteen year old girls. Loved the saltiness of the pretzels! 3.5/5 [Tasting courtesy of Little Hiro.] Little Hiro 559 Bukit Timah Road Singapore 269695
Pineapple pound cake with a shot of orange pear fruit enzyme. You get to choose if you want to heat up the pineapple pound cake, and I tried both the warm and normal versions. The truth of the matter is that the cake itself is irrelevant in this exercise – it’s…
