A new variation joining @meetandmeltscape selection of lava toasts - the Speculoos Charcoal Lava Toast ($15). 😋 Boasting a playground of colours, this gaudy, kaleidoscopic creation has plenty of bite-size sweets to boot, on top of a cube-shaped charcoal toast.

Make an incision and split it a little, and watch the molten Speculoos cookie butter ganache lava ooze out of the chink. Not only are you in for a feast, but so are your pair of eyes! 😍

Owner Mr. Chan shared the dichotomy of opinions that resulted from two separate generations of people who have tried this, "Usually, the older people complain that the toast is too sweet. But the younger people they like stronger and sweeter flavours. The sweeter, the better."

In that sense for dessert parlours, striking a balance can be quite the challenge. But that doesn't dampen their drive and passion to keep concocting desserts that ignite the excitement of many individuals with a sweet tooth. And they also maintain that family business vibe, as Mr. and Mrs. Chan stand out from the much slew of youths that *SCAPE usually attracts. This comforting and endearing feeling is translated to their desserts, which results in a experience that will leave you with a smile (hopefully) by the end.

As always, I had a wonderful time reconnecting with the people and the owners here. I'm already hungry and excited to know the next thing they have to offer! 😋 (7.9/10)
