Headed to Sunday Folks to try and grab my grubby hands on the Adzuki Soft Serve but saw that they had this plated dessert on their menu which is limited to 10 portions daily — knew I had to get one since it's been quite a while since the last time I had played dessert.

Adzuki ice-cream gateau, Kuromitsu sago, Hazelnut Milk Chocolate ice-cream, Black Sesame Financier, Orange Marmalade, Coconut Milk Foam, Matcha Soil and Edible Flowers. Despite the numerous components that goes into the dessert, it doesn't seem to get messy and felt like a good infusion of Japanese-y elements with bright flavours of spring. The Adzuki ice-cream felt like a more refined version of the red bean potong ice-cream we grew up with, but the deep, mellow sweetness of Kuromitsu made it pretty alluring and leaning more on the Japanese side as a result. The surrounding elements such as the coconut foam and orange marmalade gives it a tropical flavour; bright and tangy while the sesame cake was warm with light, roasty flavours (I would prefer stronger, but if one were to nitpick, it does feel a wee bit lonely here with the other elements). The Hazelnut Chocolate ice-cream is perfect though; smooth with a very rich nutty and slight chocolatey flavour that is hard to resist. Admittedly the price tag of $16 does make it seem a little pricey as compared to the waffle which is also more substantial in portion size, but this is a showcase of what the people behind Sunday Folks is capable of doing out of the waffles and soft-serve that they are already very well-known for.
