Caramelised Mango with Textures of Coconut from Open Farm Community. Generally faultless, apart from how everything seems somehow (over)familiar and then you look at the $17 price tag and go hmmm. 3.7/5 Open Farm Community 130E Minden Road Singapore 248819
8 Spices Apple Crumble with Crème Anglaise from Open Farm Community. Deceptively simplistic labelling, but the “crumble” here is a sum of many distinct parts – part warm and lovingly sweet apple chunks, part hard and nutty crunch, and part chao tar and intensely smoky bits which evoke memories of…
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…
Pancake Soufflé with Peach from Hoshino Coffee Singapore. Whilst the signature pancake souffle was probably made with magical Angora bunny fur, the peaches were unfortunately a tad Del Monte. 3.7/5 P.S. I had a similar item at a Hoshino Coffee outlet in Tokyo and the peach slices used were fresh,…
Raspberry Earl Grey from SnackScape. If Q Bread and Rasapura Masters had a collaboration, their baby might turn out to be something like this. 2.8/5 Super Loco 27 West Coast Highway WestWay #01-01 Singapore 117867
Hummingbird from Mad About Sucre – African pecan nut, plantain, pineapple, lemon, lavender and honey. Despite possessing neither the SMU-esque professionally proficient attractiveness of the Luna De Miel nor the old school Hollywood glamour of the San Domingue, the Hummingbird proved itself to be, like an industrious and scholarly civil servant, competent…
Ridiculoos Spectaculoos Waffle from Spatula – single scoop of chocolate chip ice cream, Speculoos spread, drizzle of maple syrup, biscuit crumbs & a wafer shard. Essentially everything you love about Llaollao’s cookie sauce, only doubled, tripled, quadrupled, quintupled. Bring friends, as this peanut butter-esque Cookie Monster needs a team to tame.…
BiBim bingsu from BiBing. Essentially HL chocolate milk (?) mixed with nuts, fruits and yogurt (not llaollao, but the cheap supermarket variety you eat for better bowel movements). 3.1/5 BiBing 50 Smith Street Singapore 058958
