“W” (watermelon, hazelnut dacquoise, vanilla chantilly cream, rose cream) from Two Bakers. A bite of the crunchy watermelon releases gratifying hydration, whilst elsewhere the sticky, nutty hazelnut dacquoise pouts as it bats its eyelashes flirtatiously at your jaw. 3.9/5 Two Bakers 88 Horne Road Singapore 209083
Truffle soba from Two Bakers. The soba was made appealingly salty and fragrant by the sauce and seasoning with the truffle being as light as a mynah’s roadside abandoned feather with its touch, never being too heavy-handed with its usually militant agenda. Elsewhere, the succulent portobello mushroom squirted its juices…
Blueberry Ricotta Cheesecake from Two Bakers. Essentially a living and breathing Kraft cheese slice creature in an amorous bear embrace with dairy-tempering blueberry. 3.7/5 Two Bakers 88 Horne Road Singapore 209083
Lemon meringue sundae from Bao Makers – lemon sponge, lemon curd, meringue, almond slices with vanilla ice cream. The awkward tension in the room of disparate mismatches could be sliced with a knife, with the Gobi-dry lemon sponge better off with a good dose of Cetaphil. 3.2/5 Bao Makers 78…
The Soursop from Two Bakers – soursop cheesecake, Malibu infused vanilla cake, meringue, soursop gel, sable crumble and desiccated coconut. The soursop cheesecake ball must have done extensive meditation and ate a lot of almond/sesame dual paste at Hong Kong dessert cafes as it manages to achieve a harmonious yin-yang…
Chilli Crab Bao from Bao Makers. The sweet chilli involved is a grower not a shower in terms of firepower, whilst the few crab pieces that managed to squeeze onto the fried mantou carriage are nicely plump. Essentially what hipster foodie tourists should have for a minimalist, mod and smelly-finger…
Coconut Vodka Lime Pie. Essentially a lime tart with a curd that is sweet enough such that your mouth doesn’t violently react to the sour (but the lime is there if you crave for such pleasant oral torture), but then you discover the innocuous jelly cubes made from vodka shots…
Framboise Delight – raspberry mousse, raspberry compote, lady fingers sponge, pistachios and raspberry crispies. Very classy-looking and the display indicated the use of alcohol, so expectations were high. However, just like the moment when I peeled the wrapper off my first chocolate coin when I was a baby, I realised…
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…
