Mango bingsu with soft serve at Snowman Desserts. The soft serve was like McDonald’s ice cream, but with the cow’s mammary glands on hyper super-milky overdrive. The mango chunks were massive, soft and sweet, but somehow the milk snow here was less snowy and more icy than I expected, and…
Brioche French toast waffles from Roosevelt’s Diner & Bar, with blueberry sauce and vanilla ice cream. Essentially a neighbourhood bakery-style bun that sneaked into a waffle press whilst playing hide and seek and accidentally got pressed in a tragic accident. More eggy French toast than waffle, though. 3.6/5 P.S. All…
Oreo bomb from Banana Tree. Essentially vanilla ice cream resting atop an Oreo cookie post-apocalyptic wasteland, with earthen heat still radiating from the heated frying pan. Have the cookies warm as they are served, smash them into crumbs and have warm cookie cereal, or mix the crumbs with the ice…
Madagascan vanilla ice cream with Guinness draught and Créme de Mure from The Naked Finn. The vanilla ice cream sinks and melts with greater haste than Road Runner from the Looney Tunes, so you essentially get a very boozy, fizzy alcoholic milkshake. 3.8/5 The Naked Finn 39 Malan Road Gillman Barracks…
Chocolate root beer flavoured waffle from The Cold Pantry – served with charcoal vanilla ice cream and drizzled with homemade root beer sauce. The rather black-faced vanilla ice cream — perhaps so coloured after experiencing wretched and tragic betrayal in a Wuxia (武侠) novel — was restrained in its milkiness…
Omelette Norvégienne – vanilla ice cream with “griotte” cherries cooked in kirsch, orange confit and almond nougatine, enveloped in a torched blackcurrant meringue and flamed Grand Marnier poured over. A competent competitor to Henri Charpentier in the arsonist dessert stakes. The lights above your table are switched off as Grand…
Compressed Rum Infused Pineapple with alfalfa sprouts, vanilla ice cream and gula melaka drizzle from Feedlot Steakhouse Bar and Grill. The titular pineapple steak was sweet, juicy and really thick – you can convincingly knife and fork it as you would beef steak and role-play as a very glamorous and…
Chocolate molten lava cake, flambé with Sambuca and Grand Marnier and served with vanilla ice cream. The cake was fairly competent and the lava thick and oozy, but the alcohol – two separate glasses brought to the table and poured over the cake in a tragic flop of a pyrotechnic…
Churros Amigo – sweet potato dough fritters fried til crispy, served with vanilla ice cream. Like a massive sweet potato fry bear-hugging a fluffy doughnut. 3.7/5 Sunday Market 22 Lim Tua Tow Road Singapore 547772
