Ginger – candied ginger pudding, sticky toffee, caramel ice cream and candied ginger. Essentially sticky date pudding which eats clean. The ginger element of the pudding is not immediately apparent, but when you use your tongue to slowly process the experience (instead of just chewing and swallowing like a common…
Matcha Strawberry Field Waffle – green tea waffle, strawberry, mango passionfruit spheres and vanilla ice cream. The waffle is quite intriguing – the fragrance of green tea lingers, but only a faint bitterness in the waffle explicitly betrays its matcha nature. The waffle has a crispy exterior and is warm…
Passioné – passionfruit and a blend of cheeses on a sponge and coconut sable base, served with cocoa nibs. The cake was smooth and rich, with no bitchy upstaging drama going on – the passionfruit dominates for the first few seconds in your mouth but eventually cedes to the cheese…
Waffle with Lavender and Earl Grey ice cream. The Lavender was essentially a Paddle Pop/Mint hybrid who just came back from the loo that had Lavender air freshener, while the Earl Grey put up a suitably valiant fight against the mighty Sunday Folks soft serve monster. The waffle was sweet…

Waffle with salted caramel ice cream. The ice cream was more salt and less caramel, and had the curious inclusion of nuts. The waffle was substantial in size and stood with chest proudly puffed out, but taste-wise felt fairly pedestrian and dry. More of a perfunctory waffle for the kids…
Black Sesame Bingsu – red bean paste, powdered soybean Korean rice cakes, sesame powder and almond flakes on shaved milk. Like a grainy desert that miraculously comes alive from the nourishment of the milk poured from heaven – the dry sandy sesame powder becomes deliciously pasty, the red bean paste…
Brioche French Toast with Caramelised Banana, Salted Caramel & Fresh Cream. Undoubtedly one of the best brioche French toast I have ever tried – the brioche is fluffier than an Angora rabbit and decidedly un-breadlike in texture. Paired with the restrained salted caramel and goreng pisang-esque sweet and gooey banana…
