MATCHAAAA

Tame your next sweet craving at this quaint new cafe in Serangoon (it's down the road from Cafe Plain Jane). KOOKS Creamery specialises in molten lava cookies ($5.50 each) — soft-centred cookies holding luscious, oozy centre. Their hand-crafted ice cream (from $3.60 a scoop) is pretty good too! For best value, get the Lava Cookie Set ($8.50), which sees either a chocolate or matcha lava cookie topped with a scoop of ice cream. Get creative with pairing ice cream flavours, or be inspired by Burpplers who seem to love pairing the cookies with nougat, Ferroro Rocher and lemon curd ice cream. Yum!

Kinda pricey, but it's one of the best matcha lattes in Singapore with its intense matcha flavor and subtle sweetness. Also, it comes with a scoop of matcha ice cream inside. Overall a well-balanced drink that matcha lovers should try!!

Having tried their Malted Earl Grey and Malted Milk Custard Puffs in the past, I was keen to try out the Matcha Custard Puff. Just like the other two, the matcha eagerly oozes out as you put a bite into the sturdy puff pastry, revealing a light bittersweet aroma that was pleasant without going all strong and leaving an aftertaste afterwards. For the sheer size of the puff, this is definitely a steal at $3.50 per pop.

And it's ONLY $5. Hidden find. #DFDMatcha #DFDCake

Missing the textures and flavours of the classic pancakes, the offerings at Kyushu Pancake might be more suited for the health-conscious. An wholesome alternative, the blend of finely selected grains used in the mix is free of emulsifier, artificial fragrance, additives and processed starch. So expect less sweet and more guilt-free treats. Topped with matcha mousse and light fresh cream, their signature Matcha MontBlanc ($18.00) was a little denser, doughy and grainy to the usual buttery fluffy pancakes that we are more accustomed to. Perhaps for an acquired taste, the matcha montblanc sauce served together was also relatively bland.

Another friend of mine bought this Matcha Salted Egg Croissant from @asanoyasg for me this morning. (Greg ate most of it; save me some calories 😅) - "Good Friends Make One Another Fat" 😆
Overall Yummy! Just that I taste more salted egg than matcha in this croissant.

White Rabbit Lava Cake (SGD $6.50) - A matcha sponge oozing out with our childhood creamy flavor of 大白兔奶糖 and topped with a homemade crispy black sesame 贡糖. A nice twist to the usual lava cake. Surprisingly the lava cake is not as sweet as you might think and the flavors complimented well with each other.

Sadly in Singapore you can't get the hoji cha ice cream, but I guess the matcha ice cream is good enough. I love the warm shiratama with fragrant kinako flour on top! Goes really well with the cold matcha ice cream.

Combining two classic Japanese flavours together, this fluffy matcha sponge, completed with Matcha buttercream, black sesame frosting, and black sesame white chocolate ganache is from Montana’s newest dessert range - Freak Cakes (of 5 distinct and exciting flavours).

Expecting a denser, sugar-filled, over-the-top treat, their Matcha Black Sesame Freak Cake was surprisingly soft and balanced. Not just pretty to look at, the cake was not overly sweet or cloy. The ganache and goma drips also lent a nutty fragrance while the buttercream had a pleasant bitterness to complement the assortment of toppings.

Pushing the crazed ‘Freakshakes’ aside as the Freak Cakes take center stage, each creation goes for $14.80++. Hence, produced at limited quantities daily, it is recommended to pre-order to avoid disappointment~

This was a hosted meal.

Laid my hands on the hojicha and goma ice cream with a shot of thick gooey goma sauce (not pictured). It is an immensely rich texture that upon pouring, coats the ice cream like a cape.

And had a long chat with @kelvincheejv. Really looking forward to the day when I can get my matcha fix at any corner of Singapore and new innovative dishes that are in the form of ideas but potentially will be realized soon!
