Tropical Paradise toast from Les Patisseries – coconut brioche, fresh mango, caramelised pineapple, candied almond, mango sorbet. The thick, tall toasts are bread trees, and the other tropical elements a refreshing sweet waterfall that cascades relentlessly. 3.6/5 Les Patisseries 222 Upper Thomson Road Singapore S574354
Cinnamon French Toast from The Halia (Singapore Botanic Gardens) – fresh seasonal berries, white chocolate sauce, Iranian pistachio. The moisture-challenged bread was a non-starter, thankfully made more pleasant by the thick white chocolate sauce which when tasted on its own revealed its happily sweet nature but when applied to the…
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…
