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
Buttermilk waffle with butter rum bananas and vanilla bean ice cream. The waffle was fluffy and tall like an Afghan Hound, whilst the bananas were nicely gooey and sweet. Loved the rum element, which added a naughty kick to the otherwise blank vanilla canvas. 3.7/5 Department of Caffeine 15 Duxton…
Basil sorbet, strawberries, sweet tomato, yuzu yogurt and black pepper meringue. The marquee name essentially tastes like a bitter and smooth ball of blended grass.

The mashed sweet potato (which colour is randomly purple or yellow depending on how…
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…
Blossom waffle with passionfruit and “U Can’t Guess This!” flavoured ice cream. The passionfruit assaults explosively with tingling spikes of sour, with seed shrapnel for additional impact – loved it. I won’t spoil the secret behind “U Can’t Guess This!” (hint: it’s a fruit), but this particular ice cream as…
Fig and bacon sabayon – candied bacon and fig compote, with fresh berries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, resting on a bed of champagne sabayon. The sabayon is reminiscent of the custard filling in breads, only slightly delinquent – it probably smokes in the girls’ toilet and plays…
Kaya bread and butter pudding with homemade kaya, raisins and green tea ice cream. The pudding tasted like the love child of a soufflé and a traditional pandan waffle after a most tawdry affair, while the green tea ice cream immediately conjured up thoughts of Chinese tea (!!) in how…
