Pulut Hitam Tart from Bloomsbury Bakers. Whilst the combination of coconut cream and a sweet liquid, ricey middle satisfies, I can’t say the same for the crust, so stubborn and hard-headed that he best watch out as somebody confirm tekan and charge him SOL or even DB someday. 3.6/5 Bloomsbury Bakers…
Cherry tart from Tarte by Cheryl Koh. Essentially succulent, posh plum-grape hybrids on a tart dressed by Vivienne Westwood. 4/5 Tarte by Cheryl Koh 350 Orchard Road #01-12 Shaw House Singapore 238868
Coffee Tart from Tarte by Cheryl Koh. Like a dark, roasty Kopi Gao fantasy. 3.9/5 Tarte by Cheryl Koh 350 Orchard Road #01-12 Shaw House Singapore 238868
Pistachio Strawberry Tart from Bakersfield.

Elsewhere, the curd itself is well-balanced in its sour and sweet properties (although I could easily do…
Tart Au Citron with Onion Ice Cream. The onion ice cream proved to be a friendly paper tiger – on its own, it starts off slightly pungent but quickly peters out into an inoffensive buttery ice cream, which you can mix with the lemon curd for an interesting slightly savoury-tasting…
Peach & Salted Yolk Tart – slices of brûléed peaches and pistachio bits, sitting atop a sour cream coffee cake with a molten salted yolk filling, served hot. Essentially a tart jacuzzi filled to the brim with salted yolk in a light-tasting custard-esque form, with sweet peach slices soaking lazily…
Coco Citron – coconut mousse, lemon curd and coconut sablee tart, with crushed sugar diamonds. So light, I’m floating on clouds. But then some of the crushed sugar diamonds crackled and popped loudly in my mouth and I was so startled, I fell all the way down. 3.7/5 Mad About…
