Apple Crumble from South Union Park – butterscotch, yogurt, vanilla ice cream. The salty, buttery crumble would evoke fond, nostalgic memories of childhood noshing of Danish butter cookies, the very plump and sweet apple possesses a heady, enthusiastic sweetness and the stringy butterscotch has a pontianak-esque clinginess. 3.9/5 South Union…
Buttermilk waffle with mixed berries compote and vanilla ice cream from Atlas Coffeehouse. Whilst the mixed berries compote scythes at you with the seductively tarty vengeance of a most coquettish minx, the usually reliable waffle, though internally still proficient, had the wizened, sun-weathered skin of a Punggol-living septuagenarian. 3.5/5 Atlas…
