Banana beignets – fried-to-order cake-battered bananas served with condensed milk and freshly grated Parmesan. This banana boat (oh brother, you didn’t – Editor) was really goreng pisang putting on a Barbarella accent but not entirely convincing me with its Ang Moh intentions. Judging dem banana balls as goreng pisang, however,…
Matcha choux – choux pastry filled with matcha pastry cream. The choux pastry is delightfully crumbly, like the baby girl of a croissant and cookie. However, the matcha flavour was rather faint, like pen marks after being assaulted by an eraser. 3.3/5 Les Delices 333 Kreta Ayer Road #01-14 Singapore…
Earl grey milk tea choux. Delightfully crumbly, like the baby boy of a croissant and cookie. The earl grey flavour was, unlike its matcha counterpart, dramatically strong and fragrant, like a Chanel No.5 for urbanite tea leaves. 3.7/5 Les Delices 333 Kreta Ayer Road #01-14 Singapore 080333
Mango Charlotte. Like the girl with 12.4K Instagram followers who looks really summery and poses in pictures staring shyly away from the camera whilst smiling with milk-shampooed lustrous hair and pouty cherry lips, but once you meet her in person you find out that past the blogshop dresses and flowers…
Firecracker cupcake – citrus and walnut with Tiger beer infused buttercream. The orange peel evokes memories of the yearly spammage of Mandarin oranges, whilst the buttercream kisses with a faint wisp of beer breath. 3.4/5 Cake Spade 1 Tras Link #01-06 Orchid Hotel Singapore 078867
Cheesecake. Light and not too cheesy, but remarkably tastes like yogurt meets Yakult, solidified. 3.5/5 [Tasting courtesy of Sacha & Sons.] Sacha & Sons 333A Orchard Road #03-02 Mandarin Gallery Singapore 238897
Strawberry Fields – pure strawberry mousse layered with homemade strawberry preserve and chiffon sponge, topped with fresh strawberries. If this was a girl she probably ties her hair in a neat braid, wears Cotton On, doesn’t swear and always brings her home-baked goods to both class and church to distribute,…
Waffle Ispahan – rose waffle with raspberry sorbet and litchi sauce. The waffle felt a bit flaccid (not possessing the turgidity of the Horffles) but the warmness and fragrance of the rose flavour enlivened the proceedings. The multiple elements – rose, raspberry and lychee – shared the throne amicably, with…
Foie gras mushroom garden – foie gras, shimeji mushroom, mushroom truffle, green caviar, crostini, sweet potato crisp, and coffee soil. A pleasurable simulation of savoury dining as a wild boar, with the indulgent combination of crispy crunch and truffley mushiness likely to inspire a few satisfied grunts. 3.6/5 2am:dessertbar 21A…
