Mini Choux Platter from Ollella – Matcha Azuki, Dark Chocolate, Apple Cinnamon, Tiramisu, Raspberry, Vanilla, Lemon Meringue. Generally appealing if you select flavours which reveal the choux’s texturality with minimal distraction. Whilst the crumbly Apple Cinnamon was positively pregnant with sweet apple chunks and the appealingly aromatic Tiramisu had a…
A Compter Du Printemps from Mad About Sucre – strawberry cream, lemon mousse, French champagne, raspberry, almond sponge cake, croustillant. The posh champagne jelly was inappropriately inebriated to such a degree that it probably contravened something in the Liquor Control Act, whilst elsewhere the glacial and understated strawberry cream struck…
– lemon sablé breton, yuzu curd, mandarin orange reduction and yuzu sorbet. Suitably refreshing – save for the bodaciously wince-inducing sorbet (which probably had too much whisky the night before as it was served particularly soft instead of in its usual quenelle form), the other sour elements were restrained in…
A.L.T. from East 8 – avocado and lemon on yellowfin tuna chunks. You will gobble this chee cheong fun-esque delight like a famished cat – the thickly gooey, sweet and citrusy avocado pairs marvellously with the slickly marinated yellowfin tuna chunks, whilst elsewhere the sesame fragrance pops with more assertive…
Lemon parsley tiger prawn from East 8. Whilst the prawns were undeniably happily pregnant, the matrimony between oily butter and citrusy tang may cause the conservatives to clutch their pearls, whilst the price tag ($19) would likely inspire a goldfish eye effect. 3.5/5 East 8 10 Coleman Street #01-21/22, Grand…
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…
Nori squid with sriracha lemon foam and yuzu mayo from Dibs Restaurant Singapore. The outrageously addictive sriracha lemon foam – a droplet of the Pringles BBQ powder-esque elixir delivers a coquettish jab to the tongue – was as aggressive in its entrapment tactics as primary six girls are with their…
Deconstructed lemon tart with fried shallot (!) ice cream from Plonk. The exhilaratingly tart lemon curd had a texture that’s best described as Malay kueh meets pudding, whilst elsewhere the fried shallots required careful portioning to ensure the entirety of the largely vanilla ice cream got the necessary fried fragrance…
Lemon & White Chocolate Sundae from Populus – Tahitian vanilla ice cream, fresh lemon jelly, white chocolate sauce, meringue kisses, white chocolate crumb, cornflake crumble, citron mascarpone. Essentially a rotund love child of Hokkaido milk and McDonalds’ soft serve. The citrus elements lend a wince-inducingly zesty zing to the proceedings,…
