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…
TNT from Non Entrée Dessert Cafe. There is enough kinetic energy from all the fizziness from the raspberry poprocks and yuzu form to power a small fart, whilst elsewhere the pistachio sponge smells all masculinely nutty, the lychee sorbet and marinated strawberry basil lend a playful sweetness to the proceedings,…
Drunken Babe from Non Entrée Desserts – walnut brownie, whisky-infused milk chocolate whip, smoky bacon crisps on chocolate paper, caramel popcorn and raspberry sorbet. The proceedings felt a tad everything and the kitchen sink-esque, and the flavours at play were heavy-handed. The very spank-deserving whip wore its whisky breath with…
Bombe Alaska (pregnant with raspberry ice cream) from Pool Grill. Both pyromaniacs and degenerate drunks will enjoy this sweet treat, flambéed at your seat and so indulgently sloshed that you are likely to end the meal tittering deliriously about dragons and Teletubbies. 3.8/5 This was a hosted meal, courtesy of Pool…
Raspberry Earl Grey from SnackScape. If Q Bread and Rasapura Masters had a collaboration, their baby might turn out to be something like this. 2.8/5 Super Loco 27 West Coast Highway WestWay #01-01 Singapore 117867
Le Lapin from Antoinette – 66% dark chocolate mousse with peanut feuilletine and caramel peanut, raspberry marmalade, chocolate genoise with rum. I should have went straight for the dark chocolate part and avoided the white altogether, as the latter was like a spurned ex-lover who can’t let go and persistently…
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…
Choco ginger gelato and raspberry sorbet. Managed to try out the gelato at Plus39 Gelato before their soft launch next week. The raspberry sorbet was intense in its sourness and a wallop of natural, fruity goodness right there in your mouth. The revelation, however, was the choco ginger – dark,…
