Hotteok waffle from Bing Go Jung. Only a waffle in appearance and name, this hotteok waffle is essentially a warm, chewy, savoury muah-chee-esque mochi which has levelled up and hardened. 3.8/5 Bing Go Jung 1 Jalan Anak Bukit Bukit Timah Plaza Singapore 588996
Brandied chocolate mille crepe cake from The Udder Pancake. Essentially a chocolate-flavoured crepe-y cake with distinct layers, served with a syringe of brandy for a small dose of syrupy brandy over the cake if you are a clutch pearl type of prude, or for rampant squirtage if you are a…
Green tea bingsu with green tea ice cream from O’Ma Spoon. Essentially pleasant shaved milk ice that is slightly coarser than its fancier and more indulgently-priced bretheren (we detected some hard ice goblins playing in the snow) but the trade-off is its more manageable price point and the availability of…
Kaya waffle with green tea soft serve from The Cold Pantry. Essentially kaya toast that has been waffle-lized. The matcha soft serve was milky with a tinge of bitterness, the fragrant and sweet coconut slime coats both the exterior crevices and inner linings of the waffle, whilst the waffle itself…
Steamed egg with coconut juice topped with crab meat and salmon roe from Tao Seafood Asia. Essentially smooth, egg-whitey chawanmushi gone tropical. 3.7/5 This dish is part of the Tao Seafood Asia’s “Mrs Lee’s Favourites” Mother’s Day 2015 menu. [This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Tao Seafood Asia.] Tao Seafood…
Claypot braised chicken and abalone with rice wine from Tao Seafood Asia. Not particularly alcoholic, but the rice wine perfumed the dish immensely. The chicken had a good spring in his step, while the abalone was nicely chewy. The dish tasted very home-cooked, and is certainly consistent with the sweet…
Brioche French toast waffles from Roosevelt’s Diner & Bar, with blueberry sauce and vanilla ice cream. Essentially a neighbourhood bakery-style bun that sneaked into a waffle press whilst playing hide and seek and accidentally got pressed in a tragic accident. More eggy French toast than waffle, though. 3.6/5 P.S. All…
Apple cinnamon waffle bar from Hvala Waffle Bar. Essentially the evolution of the “cheap hotdog waffle” of secondary school/pasar malam days, having adapted to today’s waffle-obsessed times. The apple slices were torched and thus nicely warm and sweet, in stark contrast to the relatively temperature-challenged sliced waffle pieces they rest…
Royal smoked duck. I wouldn’t particularly refer to the duck as royal or any similar superlative adjective but the smoked duck, its wings spread wide in a graceful final flight before consumption, competently checks all the relevant boxes – crispy skin, nicely greased up and a good mix of fatty…
