Desserts

[MATTAR, SINGAPORE] Happened to have eaten nearby and we came across @crazyscoops.sg which had delicious gelato and mochi waffles 😍

The Mochi Waffles 🧇 were of quality, with a crispy batter and a soft fluffy inside. There was quite abit of mochi within, which was nice and chewy 😍 we tried many flavours of their gelato and we settled on their black sesame, strawberry honey yoghurt and white chrysanthemum. Their black sesame was the best, as it had such nutty rich flavours that made us go for more! The strawberry honey yoghurt was so refreshing with such a well rounded flavour. White chrysanthemum had a strong aromatic tea flavour which isn't too sweet!

Total bill was $21.80. Definitely a neighbourhood gelato cafe to go for especially when you're nearby.

May not look like much, but I can guarantee you this may be the best durian desserts you'll have. With a good reputation in selling fantastic durians, @99oldtrees 's desserts are a great way to showcase its quality.

The Stinky Bowl or Durian Mousse ($6.30) consists of a creamy durian mousse, with a dollop of durian meat on top. The mousse itself was of the right temperature; cold enough to be refreshing, while not too cold till you can't taste the durian flavour. The flavour itself was very aromatic as well. The durian meat itself was even more intense and the durian lover in me was extremely satisfied.

Their Stinky MSW Roll ($6.90) is a good choice as well, especially for people who do not like their durian flavour to be too pungent. You still get a good aromatic flavour from the meat within and it pairs well with their soft buttery cake layer!

Durian lovers, this is one dessert cafe you don't want to miss!

If you love your durian, this is one dessert shop @dessertfirstsg to go for. Though there are some elements within the Durian Shaved Ice ($11.50) that I didn't like, there were some that I absolutely adored 😍

The Durian Shaved Ice comes with durian flavoured ice, durian cream, durian meat and durian ice cream. Eating all of them together was very satisfying, as it was so rich with durian flavours! The durian cream was so potent in flavour, and the durian meat was sweet, aromatic and just slightly bitter. I actually didn't like the ice cream and ice itself, as they seem to taste too artificial. Seems like their Durian Shaved Ice (a different dessert bowl) would be my option next time as they did not have the components that I didn't like!

As an avid durian lover, I'm definitely coming back for more!

If you haven't had the nian gao waffles at @thebetterscoop yet, it's time to do it this weekend. I absolutely fell in love with the rendition at their new Anchovale Village outlet as it was just so good!

The Nian Gao Waffles ($6.80) we've got came crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I like how buttery and aromatic their waffles were, and that they gave a rather huge portion of Nian Gao! This gives them a chewy texture which was well appreciated.

To go with their waffles, we got their Peanut and Black Sesame Muah Chee and Tie Guan Yin ($9.50 for both scoops). The peanut and black sesame muah chee was such an awesome flavour, as it tasted very much like the muah chee I used to eat often as a kid. Both flavours in the gelato were pronounced and complemented each other so well! There were additional muah chee cubes within too. The Tie Guan Yin flavour was much lighter yet still fragrant, perfect for those who prefer a more refreshing taste. Both flavours are absolutely recommended.

Can't wait for my next time here! Definitely one of the best nian gao waffles I've had!

When thinking about desserts near Tanjong Pagar, @beansfactory.singapore's quality desserts come to my mind right away. Affordable and delicious, they are my go-to dessert whenever I'm around the area!

The Signature Grass Jelly ($7.90) comes with a variety of ingredients, and one of their best ingredients is their chewy dough (not sure what to call them 😂)! They were chewy and flavourful and the different coloured ones actually tasted different! I like how it isn't too sweet, even after adding in the milk and black sugar.

The Matcha Beancurd ($7.90) is another good bowl to get, and once again I loved the matcha dough! It had a good matcha fragrance. The sweet red bean was chunky and paired well with the silky beancurd.

Can't wait to be back to try their other variations!

If you are looking for some solid Chendol or Orh Nee, I think the rendition at @hupkafoon really hits the spot.

The Durian Chendol ($5.50) was incredibly rich, with aromatic sweetness coming from the Gula Melaka, and savouriness from the thick coconut milk. Because of this contrast, it is surprisingly not too sweet, but you still get a deep flavour from them! Loved the durian paste as well, as it was very aromatic too. Definitely one of the good variants.

One interesting dessert to get is their Durian Infused Orh Nee ($5.50). With a powerful kick of intense durian flavour, the orh nee taste was rather subtle and instead gave a light earthy aftertaste. We actually liked this alot and would order this again!

The Tang Yuan ($3) was quite standard. Felt like they cooked the dumplings a little too long.

Nonetheless, I will come back here again for their Chendol and Orh Nee!

Back at @kookscreamery for their desserts and noticed that they now have lava waffles! Tried it but felt like we should still stick with their lava cookie and gelato 😂

The Matcha Lava Waffles we ordered were unfortunately too soft? There was not crisp to the waffle and it seemed cold. The matcha cream had some matcha flavour and was pretty sweet. We got the Dirty Matcha with the waffles, and it was pretty good. You get a slight earthy flavour with a hint of coffee flavour. Wished that it was less sweet though!

We also got another Chocolate Lava Cookie, which was as good as always. Dark rich chocolate ganache with soft buttery cookie; this is hard to go wrong. With the cookie we got a Pistachio and Black Sesame gelato. The Pistachio was fine with its creamy nuttiness, but the black sesame SLAPPED SO HARD. The black sesame flavour was so strong yet so aromatic and it had the right amount of sweetness and earthiness. So lovely I wished I ordered another scoop!

The total bill was about $33, which was kind of pricey. Nonetheless, I will still see myself back to try more of their gelato with lava cookie!

ORH NEE WAFFLES?? As Orh Nee lovers, we had to try @creme_sg 's rendition. Overall, we gave the waffles a thumbs up, and the gelato flavours are just alright.

The Orh Nee Waffles were crispy on the outside, and really fluffy within. We love how there was a substantial amount of orh nee cream, and that it was rich and quite full of orh nee and coconut flavour! This was very fragrant and addictive and can be eaten on its own.

The gelato flavours were good, but just nothing to shout out about. The Sugarless Chocolate was indeed very dark and rich, with some brownie bits within. The Raspberry Blueberry Oatmilk was very fruity and tangy, but the texture was a little strange as it was especially sticky. Felt like both gelato flavours were abit too sweet.

Total price was about $16. Honestly, I would definitely go back for their waffles and stick to their chrysanthemum goji gelato flavour! That one was good 😍

Absolutely fell in love with @coldbreak_sg 's Nian Gao Waffle, their quality gelato flavours and their chill ambience! We got their waffles with 3 scoops of gelato and I just wanted more 😍

Let's go straight to their Nian Gao Pandan Waffle as it is what most people are hyped up about. There was a pretty huge piece of nian gao in the middle of the waffle, which gave it a beautiful chewy centre 😍 the exterior of the waffle was mostly crispy and the fragrance of the pandan was inviting. Absolutely lovely.

The White Chrysanthemum Goji gelato was of high standards. The taste of chrysanthemum was strong and aromatic, and I loved how it wasn't too sweet! The Osmanthus Mango Passionfruit was so refreshing. Although the taste of osmanthus is quite subtle, the citrus flavour was addictive. I can eat a tub of this in one sitting! The Pistachio was creamy, nutty and very smooth.

The total bill was $19, which isn't too bad. Definitely will be back for the waffles and to try out other gelato flavours!

If you are in need of some good desserts, @yatkayan is one place to go to satisfy your cravings. With a huge selection, we were spoilt for choice!

After some deliberation, we settled with our favourite Orh Ni or Yam Paste ($5.80) and Cold MSW Durian Mousse ($7.80). The Yam Paste was very thick, rich and creamy, exactly how a good orh ni should be! It came with a good number of gingko nuts, great if you love them. I love how the coconut milk added extra creaminess and flavour, but this means that it can get surfeiting towards the end 😂

As for the durian mousse, this is definitely approved by the durian lover aka me. It was very rich and creamy, and I loved the huge slab of durian meat which was bittersweet! Quite a big portion for $7.80 and once again, better shared with others! My only nitpick is that it's not cold enough, wished that it was mixed with some crushed ice.

With their quality dessert and huge selections, definitely coming back again!

This is one dessert I will come back under the current sweltering heat 😵‍💫 @bingduoduosg serves up several shaved ice desserts and we got the Mango Durian ($8.80) one.

The mango pieces were decently sweet, but the star of the show got to be the durian. It was a big scoop of pure durian flesh, that was so aromatic with incredibly rich flavours. Not sure what kind of durian they used, but it sure is a delicious one!

The shaved ice had some condensed milk within, but do take note that it's quite coarse. If you like to bite on ice, this is for you. If not I don't think it's something you will enjoy too much!

Definitely coming back for their pure durian dessert 😍

As you can tell, I really love my ice cream 😂 desserts are important in my gatherings with friends and I'm glad to be back at one of my favourite ice cream shops!

We had the gelato and waffles at @smittenicecreambar and we were all impressed by their flavours, with their Mao Shang Wang ice cream being the best. It may be a more expensive scoop, but it was filled with alot of durian meat. It was really fragrant and strong, just like how I would like my durian gelato to be!

The Artisan Chocolate also won our hearts. With a rich decadent flavour, it was not too sweet with a very smooth texture. This is one gelato for chocolate lovers! The Biscoff flavour was also not bad, but definitely lighter than the other 2 flavours we've got.

The waffle was very crispy, quite decent.

Definitely will be back!
