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).…
Shibuya Toast with Butter Pecan Brittle and Banana Chocolate ice cream, drizzled with peanut butter and white chocolate green tea sauce from Meet & Melt. Expectations-wise, this was akin to ordering carrot cake and then being served a beta-carotene orange stick with leaves intact and frosting on top. The “Shibuya…
Impression from The Rabbit Stash. Saturn is a compelling combination of pop rocks and Ferrero Rocher-esque hazelnut indulgence, whilst the mango sun and other chocolate planet obediently fulfil their window dressing roles in this stunning visual spectacle, complete with the arresting drama of Saturn being tragically destroyed. Well done. 4.5/5…

Bibik’s Brownie – buah keluak ice cream with brownie. The chocolate brownie had a cookie-esque texture while the earthy buah keluak ice cream kept things legit and real – no purchase of likes/followers, no plagiarism of text and content for its IG posts, no chocolate wannabeism. Just buah keluak, naked…
Chocolate Belgian waffles with Choc-A-Baby, Balsamic Strawberry and Milk & Honey flavoured gelato from Milk and Honey Gelato. The crispy waffles had intensely gooey brownie-esque flesh, while separately the dark chocolate was very dark and rich, the strawberry was coquettishly sour and the signature Milk & Honey was like white…
The Black mille crepe cake from Champs Patisserie – a combination of vanilla, Oreo and chocolate flavours. While a vertical fork-dive reaps an uneasily but largely chocolate experience, the individual layers taste distinct from each other enough to indeed feel like you are having three different cakes. The value! 3.8/5 Champs…
Baileys, After Eight and White Rabbit Candy ice cream from Dessert Project. The Baileys and After Eight did what was expected of them like professionally obedient trained puppies, but the White Rabbit Candy was a memorable blast from the past, recreating that signature milkiness in your mouth like a milk ice ball…
