There's Always Room For Dessert

Yummy donuts from @burntends.bakery.sg ! Love how generous they were with the Nutella filling.

Always enjoy the gelato from @dopadopa.sg! Their blueberry pie and pineapple tart (seasonal) flavours went really well with their croissant. The blueberry tart was really creamy while the pineapple tart was quite tangy and legitimately tasted like pineapple tart. Nice spot for dessert with friends!

Orhni chendol from @yatkayan was so good! The gula melaka was really fragrant and went surprisingly well with the yam paste. Also, the red beans they used seemed to be actual red (azuki?) beans rather than the usual kidney beans that many stores use — it was smaller and a lot softer.

Paid a visit to @fatcatsg ‘s newest location at Kovan! First visited their original outlet at Bedok (which was quite sometime before cafes/ice cream shops were as common as they are today) and happy that an outlet has conveniently opened up in the area! Tried their butterbeer and seasonal special flavour pineapple toffee tart. The butterbeer tasted a little too burnt (from the brown butter perhaps?) for my liking but their pineapple toffee tart was a winner! The pineapple flavours helped mellow out the toffee sweetness but the flavours still blended really well. They don’t have a dine-in area but they do have (limited) seats for small groups to sit and chat while eating ice cream/drinking coffee.

Hard to choose a favourite from @nixtasg but their tres leches is a highlight and one of the best!! The cake is soaked in creamy, sweet milky sauce yet is not soggy, still dense with a good bite. It’s not overly sweet and keeps you wanting to go back for more. Must order when eating here!

Not much of a sweet tooth, but can’t resist a good sticky date pudding! The one from @elevenstrands is pretty good - light and fluffy cake, with crunchy bits that provide some great texture. The butterscotch sauce is also super buttery and fragrant and brings everything together nicely.

Tried out the bombolonis from @thefatkidbakery! Really liked the passion fruit, strawberry shortcake and earl grey flavours. The sea salt maple was a little too salty for my liking #burpple #bomboloni

This bowl of hot tang yuan from Ah Balling Peanut shop at Fengshan Market really hits the spot in the cold and rainy weather. You get to choose from various flavours of tang yuan, including green bean and yam which is more uncommon, as well as a choice of the soup (ginger, peanut or almond milk). Prices vary depending on number of tang yuan but generally affordable ranging from 2-3 dollars for 3-5 tang yuan per bowl! Their sesame tang yuan was particularly good and fragrant.

Bubble milk tea burnt cheese cake from Belle and Cream! The tea flavour was quite subtle, and complimented cheese flavour really well. The cake was creamy, and slightly denser (in a good way). The tapioca pearls were chewy and had a nice bite - surprisingly, it went quite well with the cake!

The grilled almond cake from Common Man Coffee Roasters was unexpectedly amazing! The cake was soft and crumbly, but still moist and not dry at all. Wasn’t too sweet, and the almond flavour was quite subtle and not overpowering. Great way to end the meal!

Finally got round to trying The Plain Jane at Serangoon! Their famous Swiss rolls ($5.90/$6.90) come in various interesting flavours and perfect for dessert or afternoon tea. The ispahan has a rose cream and lychee jelly in the middle, and was quite light and refreshing. The matcha was the right balance of bitter and sweet. Both had a really fluffy sponge, and wasn’t too heavy. Really nice place to chill and have a cup of coffee!

Although waffles and ice cream is a simple and widely-available dessert today, Holy Cow Creamery does it pretty damn good. The waffle was light and fluffy, and actually tasty and fragrant on its own. I found the earl grey lavender a bit too strong for my liking, but really liked how the banana and rum came together. Really affordable, with a good variety of flavours. Worth checking out if you’re in the area!
