Must Try

If you have been to Fat Cat Ice Cream Bar, you would have notice many tables ordering these sphere-liked desserts. The recommended way of eating is to put the entire sphere into the mouth and once popped, it will result in a burst of flavours. A very unique dessert and not commonly seen in Singapore. Pictured is the Blackforest Sphere ($4.50).

Nunsaram (which means 'snowman' in Korean) is one of the latest in the wave of Korean dessert cafés that have sprouted in the past few months. Specialising in bingsu, the café serves the common flavours you can expect such as injeolmi (Korean rice cake), strawberry and black sesame. The Green Tea Bingsu ($13.90) with a dollop of red beans and matcha ice cream is an easy choice, and so is the Mango Bingsu ($15.90) with sweet cubes of mango and ice cream with bits of sticky dried mango. Do give the Purple Sweet Potato ($14.90) a try if you're in the mood for somethin' more earthy and purple!

Snowy Village is the latest addition to the bingsu family in our sunny little island. Housed within DECK, a trendy independent art space made out of refurbished containers, Snowy Village’s menu sees a well-curated selection of toasts, waffles and bingsus, as well as savoury items like Drug Corn (Korean buttered corn sprinkled with chilli and cheese!). Chocoholics will love the Chocoreo Snowy Bingsu ($13.90) made up of shaved chocolate milk topped with chocolate ice cream, Oreo crumbs, Pepero White Cookie sticks and chocolate sprinkles.

Nunsongyee ('snowflake' in Korean) is a hip Korean café nestled deep in the Serangoon Garden estate, a few minutes' drive from Chomp Chomp Food Centre. Some say the shaved milk here is one of the best around due to its magically soft and snowy nature — any Korean dessert fan must give this place a try. Their signature Black Sesame Bingsu ($18.90) is served with red bean (azuki) paste, soybean powder, Korean rice cakes, ground black sesame seends and almond flakes. Do keep a look out for their seasonal bingsus (the Red Velvet Bingsu for Valentine's Day was to die for) as well as special occasions whereby the staff dress up in traditional Korean garb!

Hot on the heels of Four Seasons Chinese Restaurant (and with zero relation to the acclaimed Fat Duck restaurant in the UK), London Fat Duck is a Hong-Kong style restaurant at Scotts Square specialising in roast duck. Their signature Roast Duck ($12.80 for a regular portion, $26 for half a duck and $48.80 for the whole bird) has mouth-cracklingly crispy skin, although Four Seasons may have the more succulent and moist meat. Try it and decide for yourself which fowl is superior! Also go for their memorably good Black Pepper London Duck Buns ($4.80 for 3).

Hyde & Co launches a new brunch menu this month! A departure from their former British-inspired menu, you can now expect a range of brunch and dessert items. Go for the Speedy Gonzales ($14) — braised pulled pork with housemade BBQ sauce, scrambled eggs and guacamole on a tortilla. Alternatively, get The Big Ben — toasted muffins with sauteed mushrooms, poached eggs and roasted potatoes with your choice of either bacon ($17) or smoked salmon ($21). If you like waffles, Hyde & Co offers them in interesting flavours such as Butterscotch Popcorn ($14) and Affogato ($12).

The ooze game is strong with this one. Best 流沙包 in Singapore!

Came here again to try more cakes! Love the pastel coloured blueberry lemon yogurt cake. The combination of the lemon flavoured Greek yogurt sponge cake, blueberry jam and cream cheese was sweet and refreshing. My fav among these was the 'Mariah Carey' cake. Made of brown sugar and rum sponge, cream cheese and roasted pecans, I kept my first mouthful in for a long time savouring the marriage of flavours. Probably cause any dessert with alcohol is a win in my books. What was disappointing was the fab red velvet cake. It was much more dense and nothing impressive as a whole.
