Beautiful interiors and le cordon bleu trained patissiers, this is a new cafe that I highly recommend you visit at the NEWest building at west coast. We ordered the Mont Blanc tart, Hazel entremet and an iced osmanthus oolong. The Mont Blanc had the expected combination of chestnut cream, whipped cream, berry jam layers on top of the sable breton. My favourite is the Hazel- which was a luscious dark chocolate mousse cake with hazelnut feuilletine, caramel creme core. It was not an overly sweet dessert which was perfect with an iced tea on a warm sunny afternoon.
Along the same stretch as Kream and kensho and Little Part 1 cafe, Dolc patisserie is sweet tooth's heaven.These entremets and tarts are truly as delicious as they look. Pictured are the Charlotte (marscapone cheese, basil sponge and strawberry compote), Bananier ( dark chocolate mousse, caramelised bananas and crunchy feuilletine) and fruit tart (almond tart, creme patisserie and assorted fruits such as redcurrants, strawberries and blackberries). Highly recommended this dessert cafe after your lunch and brunch.
It was a rare moment for me to pass by Henri Charpentier at orchard gateway in 2020 and I knew I would want to stop and buy desserts from them. The hint of alcohol in this decadent tart was alluring in between the layers of chestnut and fresh cream. The pate sucre was buttery and crispy. A pang of regret not getting the $25 souffle cheesecake that was displayed.
I was so excited when I saw how the middle of the chocolate cake collapsed into a pool of chocolate lava on instagram. Ordered from a home baker: search yanagicakes.sg on IG for $40 (additional $10 for delivery), this is every chocolate lovers dream. The dark bitter decadence resembles 70% valrhona Guanaja that is not overly sweet, rich and luscious.
Had seen this popping up on social media so many times last year and have always wondered what would this taste like.
Happened to be in the vicinity so I finally got my hands on the Matcha variant. The green tea custard was so on point! I really like the matcha custard a lot. It was luscious and filled with bitter sweet goodness. The tart shell was buttery crisp and really goes well with the custard.
The bobbas were a little hard, which was an indication that they had been cooked for quite some time.Don't think they are great ingredients for bakes since their chewy texture is only possible if they are well hydrated in beverages.Nevertheless, glad to finally tasting bobba with tea custard tarts.
This new kid in the neighbourhood offers a different variant of waffle served with artisanal ice cream selection- crispy chocolate sticks like finger food which you could dip with the ice cream. Artisan flavours include dark chocolate, houjicha, fior de latte, pink panther, black sesame which are really interesting.
Oriental decorations with muji-scandinavian furnishings, Antea social is a tea-themed cafe that serves really delicious cakes paired with different tea blends. They take their brews real serious. Each tea set comes with a card description.We ordered a sinfully delicious valrhona chocolate cake, together with pots of strawberry green and roasted oolong.
Located within hong lim complex, whiskit is a homely bakery that sells local flavoured tarts such as ondeh ondeh, orh nee, milo kao tiew. Pictured is the hazelnut chocolate and the milo kao tiew tarts. While very affordably priced, the hazelnut chocolate tart is quite disappointing because the lotus cracker was already soggy- either because of the refrigeration or its not that fresh. The milo kao tiew tart was sufficiently malty with the milo nuggets on top of the chocolate custard.
This taiwanese cafe at plaza singapura sells really good jiggly pancakes that are fluffy delicious. You can select different pairings with the souffle pancakes. Pictured is the strawberry pairing: souffle pancakes that is served together with graham crackers, strawberry sorbet and fresh strawberries.
Newly opened at Everton Park, the better half is a gorgeous bakery cafe to visit for its instagrammable bakes and decor. Ordered the lemon lavender honey cake which costs $5. The hint of citrus was a nice blend with the florals, melty sugar frost and lavender honey sponge.
Origin+Bloom deserves a 2nd post for its illustrious entremets. Elaborated in grandeur, these yummy cakes are made by Antonio Benites who has worked for Joel Robuchon and Pierre Herme. So expect high quality goodness! We ordered the signature black symphony and Berries charlotte cake (cannot remember the exact name) which are meticulously crafted in layers of creme, mousse, biscotti, chocolate,sponge cake, fruit and glaze.
I am not really a fan of macarons because I find them sugar overloading and too sweet for my preference. When I visited M plot, their cake sized macaron look compelling and I took a leap of faith by ordering one of them. The bittersweet dark chocolate balanced the sugar that was used in making the macaron shell fortunately and it was not as sugary as expected.
