Crabmeat vongole linguine – succulent white clams and crabmeat cooked with spices and linguine. The crabmeat bits were deliciously salty and really soaked up the fragrant oil, being nicely firm and substantial instead of anorexically shredded. However, images of old-school 20 cent country erasers kept flashing in my mind as…
Apple Berry Pie. Less yogurty than Llaollao, and the crumble added an element of saltiness and crunch. However, as we went deeper down the cup, the intensity of sourness (it could have been from the yogurt or apple chunks, or both) reached such a degree that it made my tongue…
Red Rubies served with Jackfruit and Coconut Milk. The rubies were essentially frosty, crunchy pearls that were enjoyably gnawable, but the jackfruit had much personality as Looi Sai Hiam from Class 4C in primary school. 3.3/5⠀ [Tasting courtesy of ParaThai.] ParaThai 11 Tanjong Katong Road #02-23 OneKM Mall Singapore 437157
Black Pearl – gianduia syrup, organic salt and chocoballs, with an added handcrafted macaron. A significantly less milky experience than I had with the Green Light flavour, to the extent that the heavy-handed combination of Nutella-esque sauce and Milo-esque balls and powder dominates the experience and virtually eliminates all traces…
Peach & Salted Yolk Tart – slices of brûléed peaches and pistachio bits, sitting atop a sour cream coffee cake with a molten salted yolk filling, served hot. Essentially a tart jacuzzi filled to the brim with salted yolk in a light-tasting custard-esque form, with sweet peach slices soaking lazily…
Yam Coffee Bailey cake. Pleasingly fragrant, but fairly dry despite being rather creamy. Methinks the Yam probably couldn’t hold his Baileys and was on Attend C. 3.2/5 Monochrome Fusion Bistro 291 South Bridge Road Singapore 058836
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…
Green Light – soft serve ice cream with mint syrup and almond flakes. These udders ain’t worth milking – the ice cream gets way too soft prematurely. 3/5 Milkcow 2 Handy Road #01-03 The Cathay Singapore 229233
Salted egg sweet potato fries. Like seeing adverts for the Amazon River Quest at the River Safari and you go expecting to be able to check out the adorable Capybaras, then when your boat passes the enclosure all you see is a brown fluffy butt disappearing behind the tree. 3.4/5…
