Madagascan vanilla soft serve on double waffles from Sunday Folks. The madagascan vanilla was texturally professional – although for some reason an image of a Baygon can popped up in my head as soon as my tongue made contact – but it is likely to be one of Sunday Folks’…
After You toast with Thai basil and Chocolate Chip ice cream from Som Tam. Compared to Tuk Tuk Cha’s golden crumbliness, the saltily buttery toast here is of a notably softer, gentler ilk and elsewhere, the Thai basil and chocolate chip combination tasted like chippy tropical jungle. 3.9/5 Som Tam…
Ding Dong mango from Ding Dong. Essentially a ménage à trois involving three mango dessert concepts (mango sago pomelo, mango lassi and textures of mango) which ultimately remained cautiously tame and generated less heat than expected. 3.7/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Ding Dong.

Pandan pancakes from Tolido’s Espresso Nook – fragrant pandan pancakes topped with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with gula melaka sauce.

Charcoal waffle with salted egg yolk sauce and added Famous Amos and Thai Red Tea ice cream from Twenty Grammes. The charcoal waffle itself was soft and bread-like, whilst the gooey salted egg yolk sauce had the grace and refinement of an Orchard Towers performance artiste. Elsewhere, the Famous Amos…
Green tea bingsu from Nunsaram Korean Dessert Café. The choice of whipped cream to collar the bingsu was rather bizarre, but once said collar was scrapped off the mountain the green tea dessert was quite the hot weather delight, with the combination of sauce and ice cream somehow lasting long…
