Desserts my fave meal of the day

Quaint dessert cafe about 5min walk from Redhill MRT, close to the popular Abundance restaurant. They serve an extensive variety of cakes, in addition to ice cream and coffee too. We chose the Pistachio Mille Crepe ($9.50) and the Tangerine Cake ($8.50) for takeaway.

While the pistachio mille crepe was good, as we had Lady M's version just recently we could tell there was a distinct difference in the richness of the pistachio cream as well as the crepe layers. On the other hand, the Tangerine cake was a surprise hit - equal parts sweet and tart, the tangerines gave the cake a burst of citrusy creaminess that we really enjoyed.

Small quaint cafe, pretty packed when we came by on a Monday night so the seating was a tight squeeze. We had the Croffle ($3.50) with an added scoop of Popcorn gelato (+$5.50) - croffle was pretty good but the popcorn gelato was too sweet for our liking (and pretty expensive for a scoop too!). The uncle was really friendly though, he kept pushing samples to us to try. Would return to try the other flavours, maybe have a chill time outside the cafe if it's too packed inside.

Had the Tsujiri Sundae ($10.80) which came with Yuzu Jelly, two mochi balls, a ball of red bean paste, and a scoop of ice cream - we chose Momo Sencha (+$1). Yuzu jelly was pretty tart and refreshing, contrasting well with the sweetness of the ice cream and red bean. But the sencha ice cream was just sweetness through and through, with barely a hint of sencha flavour. A disappointing dessert run.

Thick and creamy with a whole piece of durian flesh. Satisfying.

Charming, quiet, and aesthetic kakigori cafe set inside an art gallery. They have a wide and interesting range of kakigori to try, and we settled for the matcha one ($17). Visually impressive, and the matcha taste was earthy and pretty authentic. However, the texture was a bit off and leaned more towards ice kacang, and it fell flat towards the end - the more I ate, the more I felt that it was just overpriced ice shavings.

Also, do be aware that while they offer half-sized portions, two pax are not allowed to share one. What marred our experience was that initially when we were told that I thought it was strange as we were one of just a handful of patrons at that time, but reluctantly accepted it. But towards the end of the dessert and the place started to fill up, we saw one or two tables of couples who were sharing just one half-sized! It doesn't seem that they apply this 'rule' consistently, or rather I would have wished that they were more flexible with it. If the kakigori was amazing then it would have been no issues, but we were already disappointed by our matcha kakigori and this inconsistency made us even moreso.

$5.20 for the regular cup but the portion is actually not that little. We chose the Kochi Yuzu and Granny's favourite - both of which were their Signature flavours. Taste and texture were on point and there is really nothing to complain about at all. Lovely experience in a cosy air-conditioned environment with power plugs almost everywhere. Will definitely return for their seasonal flavours.

Came by about 10min before their closing and they were still willing to serve us, but had to vacate the shop then. Service was really fast and our Hot Girl Summer ($10.20 for M) came in about 2 minutes. Presentation was really pretty and I enjoyed the pairing of cookie butter with the fruits, though perhaps I would go for the more unique toppings the next time. Overall, really filling and delicious.

Shared the Mango Ice ($12.80) and the Soursop Ice w/ Lychee ($15.80). Mango ice (pictured) was huuuuuuuge but overall it was pretty lacklustre...just sweet-tasting with a hint of mango from the syrup and ice cream/soft serve. In contrast, the soursop ice was damn good!! Just get the normal soursop ice without any topping, it's so cold and refreshing and tart and perfect for SG weather.

Set for 1 ($12) included a slice of cake as well as a drink. Chose the Mille Feuille - how do you even pronounce this? - as well as an iced fruits-loaded earl grey tea. Loved the cream and raspberry jam in the Mille Feuille, but didn't care much for the puff pastry. The iced tea though, so refreshing! I still think about it until now.

Very quiet on a Tuesday night with only a handful of tables - perfect for those who want some peace and quiet in the bustling City Hall area! We had the Golden Waffle with a scoop of ice cream, which the staff - Jing - recommended Yuzu Yoghurt. And it was so good! She was so nice and let us try a few flavours; also recommended the Almond Financier waffle which I am seriously considering returning to try. The only downside would be the price point, $17.99 in total is pretty steep :(

Lemon Meringue Tart ($3.50/slice) was simple yet delicious, and at such an affordable price! Perfect blend of sweet meringue atop a nicely tart lemon filling, and the cracker base was also nice and crumbly. Will return to try their other offerings!

Finally got around to queue for this as there was always a long snaking line whenever I passed by. Hype is still present for this! Although the line looked long, it moved pretty quickly so just stay strong and scroll Tiktok for abit :)

We got the Box of 5 ($7.90) as well as the Asakawa-en Matcha ($5.90 for small). The warabimochi was perfect - soft, starchy, chewy, sizeable, and generously coated with kinako powder. Exactly as how I had it in Japan previously. Drizzle the kuromitsu syrup and it was all the more better. The Matcha drink was good too but I thought there was too much chipped cream making it too sweet, and the warabimochi in the drink felt more like chinchow to me HAHA
