With the phased opening of Thomson-East Coast Line, it would be easier to explore humble neighbourhood eateries like Desert Dessert which was located near Mayflower MRT Station.

It was quite a safe choice to order their Belgian Waffle (S$5.50), as it turned out that the waffle was crispy on the outside but also sufficiently airy inside. It also took quite a while before the waffles soften from the melted gelato, so I supposed the waffle mix was done right.

An additional scoop of Premium Gelato would cost S$4.00 each. I would agree with past review that the Pistachio flavour was significantly nuttier than others of such, and I thought this was just on point. Their Red Wine Belgian Choco was also robust and smooth, and as much as it was not as bitter as dark chocolate, there was quite a nice balance of bitterness and sweetness: slightly acquired but also on the sweet side.

Interestingly, given the simple set-up of the partitioned shop space, there wasn’t any lingering smell of baking grease, unlike some of the other cafés with open-concept kitchens.
