Matchazuke from Karafuru Desserts – matcha soufflé, vanilla pudding, jasmine crème anglaise, mizu-yokan, dango, matcha langue de chat. The pound cake-esque matcha cake, intensely flavoured cat’s tongue (or long du shah if you’re all posh) and matcha sauce certainly put the matcha in this Matchazuke. However, the yogurt swirl (which…
Prosecco panna cotta with morello cherry and chocolate sauce from In ITALY. The dessert equivalent of French-kissing a pasty chunk of almond paste who has had four glasses of wine and not yet chewed on any Mentos. 3.7/5 In ITALY 38 Craig Road Singapore 089676
Zabaglione (The Italian Viagra) from In ITALY – Moscato sabayon with crumble and peach sorbet. Essentially thick, warm, wine-soaked bread mush that could have been whipped personally by Aphrodite herself. Sloshed enough a dessert to sufficiently satisfy hard up (ahem – Editor) degenerate drunks. 4/5 In ITALY 38 Craig Road…
The Great Red Ocean – Drambuie, Southern Comfort, Smirnoff Vodka, lime juice, cranberry juice, cinnamon, mint. The first thing I realised is that Capri by Fraser doesn’t stinge or pussyfoot when it comes to alcohol. Disappointingly, the lobster cocktail does not consist of murdered crustacean mush, merely a chunkful of…
Bombe Alaska (pregnant with raspberry ice cream) from Pool Grill. Both pyromaniacs and degenerate drunks will enjoy this sweet treat, flambéed at your seat and so indulgently sloshed that you are likely to end the meal tittering deliriously about dragons and Teletubbies. 3.8/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Pool…
CY Burger from Chef Yamashita – lady finger sponge with brown sugar mousse and fresh fruits. Despite the cake sporting a rather Vietnamesey hat, the combination of fruits and smothering cream is decidedly Japanese, with the gula melaka-esque mousse giving the burger cake a touch of SG50 sophistication. 3.6/5 Chef…
Melon Snow Milk Bingsu from Snowman Desserts. Despite the visual distractions offered by the veiny green dress, the Marge Simpson hairdo and the admittedly entertaining juggling of orange balls, inevitable is the realisation that the so-named snow milk ice that lies beneath has as much personality as those fake accounts…
Passionfruit Meringue Tart from Bloomsbury Bakers. The sweet and sour curd was certainly pleasant, but as inoffensive and perfunctory as an Atomic Kitten or Westlife album track. 3.5/5 Bloomsbury Bakers 30 Bendemeer Rd #01-889 Singapore330030
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,…
