On The Hunt For Great Desserts

Every visit to Elijah Pies feels like a feast for the eyes—their creations are nothing short of artistry on a plate, and the Wild Berry Lavender Pie is no exception. With its vibrant swirls of jewel-toned berries and delicate lavender-specked cream, this pie is as visually stunning as it is delicious.

Our group of nine shared a whole pie for a celebration, which proved perfectly generous in portion.

The flavor? Each bite felt refreshingly light(Not too sweet), yet deeply satisfying.

And let’s talk texture: the crisp, buttery tart base held its own against the lush cream topping, avoiding any hint of sogginess. It’s that ideal contrast—crunch meets cloud-like smoothness.

Creamier Gelato has always been a standout for me. They offer a wide array of unique flavors that you won’t typically find at most gelato shops. Every time I visit Creamier, I feel like a kid in a candy store, overwhelmed by the incredible variety and unsure which amazing flavor to choose.

My go-to favorites are usually:
- Almond Butterscotch
- Pulut Hitam
- Roasted Pistachio
- Blue Pea Vanilla

Each flavor is a delightful experience, making Creamier a must-visit for any gelato lover!

I recently visited SL II for the first time and was excited to try their baked goods. I opted for the Walnut and Chocolate Chip Muffins and their Coconut Tarts.

The Coconut Tart was an absolute standout for me. The filling was incredibly fluffy, soft, and had a delightful fragrant flavor that really impressed me. It’s rare to find a coconut tart that balances texture and taste so well, and this one definitely hit the mark.

As for the Walnut and Chocolate Chip Muffins, they were equally enjoyable—soft, moist, and aromatic. It’s clear that SL II knows how to bake muffins right.

Stepping into this place felt like traveling back to the early 90s—a nostalgic, old-school vibe that’s hard to find these days.

The food was delicious and lived up to the atmosphere. The hor fun was excellent, with fresh seafood, strong wok hei, and a flavorful gravy.

The Hainanese pork chop was another highlight—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and served in sweet & sour sauce which tasted very ketchup-y

The milkshakes, however, were nothing special—very old-school, basically made with walls brand ice cream blended with milk.

For those driving, there’s adequate parking available, though the place itself is quite secluded.

A charming spot for a trip down memory lane and a satisfying meal!

Custard puffs were sold out. Thus had to get their custard tarts instead. Somehow it works. The tart crust was rather Solid and crunchy. The custard is damn food as usual.

Balmoral bakery has been around for decades, this old school bakery has provided me my birthday cakes when I was a young kid in the 90s.

Balmoral has been in sunset way, way before it become a hip area it is now. Sunset way used to be an old neighbourhood with wet markets and provisions shops.

Queues are shorter now.

& With more outlets opening up at JEM & orchard area, this refreshingly good Mochi is now more quickly attainable than before.

So refreshingly good.

All their "jelly" was so compatible with my sweet tooth. The "red" jelly was filled with strawberry flavours that burst into your mouth.

Comes with pudding jelly, grass jelly, pearls and tapioca.

Damn shiok.

Qinde is now my go to place for Portuguese egg tarts. Ever since my favourite Madeleine ceased operations last month.

Located in Whampoa Makan Place hawker centre, Qinde has been around for quite some time. Google ratings are great.

Have eaten here many times before and the egg tarts here are always consistently good.

The crust is flakey and soft and buttery.
The egg pudding tasted creamy and the texture was soft, like melted cheese.

One of the better chendol around.

Milky and Gulalicious.

Cool & Refreshing

Signature Grass Jelly Beancurd @$3

Cheap and good.

Loads of ingredients and grass jelly was so refreshing. The beancurd was so jellyicious.

Overall felt this was so value for money

A nice quiet & cozy cafe at bukit timah that is popular for their waffles, more specifically for their savory waffles.

As I was more of a dessert feel when I came during tea time on a lazy weekend, decided to get a sweet and buttery waffles instead. Got a "Fly me to Mars" Waffle. Waffles were crispy and smells so buttery.

Also decided to have 2 smoothies:

1) Bananarama
- Banana, Honey, Milk

2) Gila about Gula
- Gula Melaka, cookie Crumble, Coconut Milk

Both of which was milkilicious and felt so decadent.

Nice quiet environment. Rather popular too, maybe hard to get seats and parking spaces. So be prepared to have a backup plan, if either of which is not forthcoming.
