Mango cheesecake and pistachio ice cream on a waffle. The waffle is such a dead ringer for the Prima Deli version that my mouth conducted a protest bemoaning the missing Nutella spread that should, based on memory, be there. The pistachio should be nicknamed “Nutbag” for how much nut swag…
Salivating spicy chicken. The spiciness slowly does a shadow sneak, and before you know it, your lips are numb from the flames but it’s a Fifty Shades of Grey situation, so yeah baby. 4/5 Xi Yan Shaw 1 Scotts Road #03-12/13 Shaw Centre Singapore 228208
Apple cinnamon speculoos cheesecake. The kind of softness and consistency that facilitates the graceful, clean cutting with a fork and the subsequent travel of said cake into one’s mouth in one smooth, fluid and glamorous motion, so ideal for having on dates and girlfriend chat sessions. Adore the little apple…
Milo panna cotta – smooth chilled chocolate malt panna cotta served with Milo powder and condensed milk.

FOC Hamburguesa de chocolate – white chocolate and vanilla mousse with sesame seeds, chocolate ganache, strawberry, mango and mint. Madame Tussaud must have mistook her lunchbox for her toolbox. This baby is so pretty and delicate that it probably should go on my desk rather than down my oesophagus but…..ooops.…
Yogurt soft serve with honeycomb, liquid honey and apple & cinnamon granola. With all the honey (probably your weekly recommended dosage compressed into this serving) and granola crunch action, you will forget you are actually having yogurt! 4/5 Honeycomb 30 Bali Lane Singapore 189866
La Loma espresso coffee – plum, toffee, milk chocolate and green apple. Cashless! The Taste Wheel! iPads! Industrial chic! You’d go in because of the rave reviews, and you’d be enthralled by the descriptions on the menu, and impressed by the futuristic science-lab vibes of the establishment, and you’d feel…
Chilled crab meat angel hair – truffle angel hair topped with jumbo crab meat, infused with chorizo oil, and finished off with salmon roe. Luxuriously truffley, although one might prefer for a starter something which needs less Gatsby facial blotting. 4/5 Horizon Bistronomy 3 Punggol Point Road #02-04 The Punggol…
French toast salpicon – chicken, spinach and mushroom stuffed in French toast, banana nuggets, mixed berries and strawberry-smoked maple syrup. Only a Bread Wall stands between the distinct savoury and sweet blocs. You could have a traditional savoury meal before dessert, vice versa if that’s how you roll, or bring…
