Red velvet pancake from Tolido’s Espresso Nook. Fairly competent, although methinks the pancakes should have used sunblock with a higher SPF and in-built moisturising properties. However, the portion of the yogurt-esque mascarpone cheese is generous enough such that every mouthful of pancake can be suitably slathered with cream, and the fruits…
Thai walking catfish with spicy lemon soup from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe. The spicy lemon soup was suitably sharp and spicy, and should sufficiently satisfy all heat-seekers. The flames just kept on going and going, so you get the soup piping hot throughout the meal! However, the soup somehow lacked a certain…
Crepe Suzette from Henri Charpentier. The crepe was very expertly and neatly folded in manner of army No. 4 before a stand-by-bed. Also noteworthy – how shiokly alcoholic my orange juice was. 3.9/5 Henri Charpentier Singapore 9A Dempsey Road Singapore 247698
Meringue accompanied by homemade sangria from Henri Charpentier. The sticky and chewy almond meringue tasted like a cross between peanut butter and a powdery caramel popcorn. Elsewhere, the apricot, figs and raisins were ever so slightly tipsy on Jolly Shandy. 3.6/5 Henri Charpentier Singapore 9A Dempsey Road Singapore 247698
French Toast from Red Baron – brioche, gula melaka, bananas and coconut ice cream, with a sprinkling of desiccated coconut. While the coconut elements did their jobs admirably and the brioche had a nice and remarkably eggy middle, the edges of the toast made me suspect that the brioche may…
Turkey bacon & chives muffin at the British-themed Richmond Station (with the spinach & cheese muffin shyly waving from behind). Essentially the soft, warm love product of a scone’s very risqué dalliance with a slice of Hawaiian pizza. 3.8/5 The spinach & cheese muffin had a slight gnaw factor because…
Baileys, After Eight and White Rabbit Candy ice cream from Dessert Project. The Baileys and After Eight did what was expected of them like professionally obedient trained puppies, but the White Rabbit Candy was a memorable blast from the past, recreating that signature milkiness in your mouth like a milk ice ball…
Banana, Chocolate, Caramel, Malt from Pluck – caramelised banana, inaya chocolate ganache, caramel sauce, and malt ice cream. Essentially a dessert party held by an intensely dark chocolate log pregnant with a sweet banana goo baby, with trendy and young Kacang putih-style sugar nuts, meringue and sticky toffee-esque shards on…
Whole French Poussin from Pluck – roasted poussin, aubergine, sesame puree, roasted celeriac, braised turnips. Whilst the baby bird tasted its age and probably indulged in luxurious spa body rubs with exotic herbs sponsored by Mama Bird, I was not a fan of the sesame puree, which tasted like a…
