Pulut Hitam Tart from Bloomsbury Bakers. Whilst the combination of coconut cream and a sweet liquid, ricey middle satisfies, I can’t say the same for the crust, so stubborn and hard-headed that he best watch out as somebody confirm tekan and charge him SOL or even DB someday. 3.6/5 Bloomsbury Bakers…
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…
Velvet Jubilee ($5.50) from Rabbit Owl Depot – red velvet snowflakes waffles with red velvet ice cream drizzled with cream cheese. Essentially bitter dark chocolate ice cream with a margarine-esque drizzle and bready waffles that lack the original signature snowflakes waffles’ killer spiky crisp – the red velvet aspect of…
HarriAnns High Tea Set from HarriAnns – nonya kaya choux, 6 bite-sized kueh and 2 kopi/teh. The kaya/hazelnut choux pastry was an adventurous lad but may have attended one too many mega sugar rushes during the weekend. Elsewhere, the different kueh – with names ranging from the Kylie Minogue-esque “Pink…
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
Buttermilk waffle with wine-poached pear and walnut crumble from Curious Palette. The waffle slays you with no mercy like you’re a stranger while the pears, possessing firmness and integrity, (wine-)party it up in dignified fashion like CBD blazered men at OverEasy on a Friday night, with the red slices being…
