Blueberry Ricotta Cheesecake from Two Bakers. Essentially a living and breathing Kraft cheese slice creature in an amorous bear embrace with dairy-tempering blueberry. 3.7/5 Two Bakers 88 Horne Road Singapore 209083
Portico Favourites high tea menu at Portico Prime. Terrific value for money for the quality and quantity on display. The chilled truffle-scented angel hair pasta with avruga caviar and kawa ebi shrimps barges into your sensory pleasure memory orbs with the rapacious ruthlessness of a disgruntled Bukit Gombak-residing Ah Ma…
The Soursop from Two Bakers – soursop cheesecake, Malibu infused vanilla cake, meringue, soursop gel, sable crumble and desiccated coconut. The soursop cheesecake ball must have done extensive meditation and ate a lot of almond/sesame dual paste at Hong Kong dessert cafes as it manages to achieve a harmonious yin-yang…
Chendol Cheesecake from Bloomsbury Bakers. The fusion of gula melaka and cheesecake here (in particular with reference to the cheesecake body itself) comes across as a well-conceptualised and consensual marriage instead of gula melaka’s forceful invasion of cheesecake’s purity and virtues, with the chendol elements – crunchy attap chee, corn,…
Maple marshmallow and coffee cheesecakes from Cravings. The former wore its Canadian roots with flamboyance with little gooey marshmallows for accessories, while the latter tasted like strong, aromatic coffee with no sugar added. Despite being cheesecakes, the texture of both cakes was decidedly thick and jellymoussey, and I really liked…
“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…
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
Choc Rocher Cheesecake. Rich, indulgent and only cheesecakey in its gooey texture. The Oreo-esque crumbs hiding below the cake assist in taking the edge off the sweet hazelnut richness. Essential that you share, otherwise it would be a richness that eventually segues to misery. On an unrelated note, my dining…
Paddlepop cheesecake, earl grey cheesecake and almond coco. The standout was the earl grey cheesecake which had a chewy, salty crust and flaunted its distinct tea flavour and aroma with more swag than A&F does with its baby prostitute scent outside Knightsbridge. The paddlepop cheesecake, which I initially dismissed as…
