BRB Pancake from Artistry – wild blueberries and ricotta pancake topped with vanilla bean ice cream, streaky bacon and fresh berries, drizzled with maple syrup. Essentially the oral equivalent of a warm smother by Aphrodite’s bosom. 4/5 Artistry 17 Jalan Pinang Singapore 199149
Baked Pistachio Melt & Pandan Ice Cream from FYR Cycene Ond Drinc. The green rocky mountain unyields a salty, thick, gooey sea of nutty goodness (with more nuts floating around in case you need more nuts in your bag), and the pandan ice cream was on hand to provide leafy,…
Caramelised Mango with Textures of Coconut from Open Farm Community. Generally faultless, apart from how everything seems somehow (over)familiar and then you look at the $17 price tag and go hmmm. 3.7/5 Open Farm Community 130E Minden Road Singapore 248819

Orh nee (yam paste) and Sicilia pistachio ice cream on waffle with homemade caramel sauce. The orh nee was a revelation, being starchy, thick and distinctively orh nee instead of merely yam, whilst the Sicilia pistachio tasted like it had enjoyed a few nice leaps over an open fire. Elsewhere,…
French Toast from Red Baron – brioche, gula melaka, bananas and coconut ice cream, with a sprinkling of desiccated coconut. While the coconut elements did their jobs admirably and the brioche had a nice and remarkably eggy middle, the edges of the toast made me suspect that the brioche may…
