Deserts

Drips Bakery Café is a delightful spot that offers a cozy ambiance paired with creative pastries and unique beverages. Among the items I tried, the Almond Croissant was the clear favorite. The croissant was perfectly flaky, with a generous filling of high-quality almonds that tasted fresh and indulgent. It’s one of those pastries that you’ll want to come back for.

The Seasonal Fruit Tart, while visually appealing, didn’t quite steal the show but still delivered a pleasant balance of sweetness and tartness. Another highlight was the Ondeh Ondeh Danish, a pretty pastry infused with the familiar flavors of pandan and gula melaka. It’s a modern twist on a local favorite and definitely worth trying. On the other hand, the Mushroom Chicken Pie fell a little flat. While hearty, it lacked the standout flavors that would make it truly memorable.

The drinks were equally intriguing, especially the Cappuccino and Iced Café Latte, both made with Koji Rice milk. The rice milk added a creamy and slightly sweet note that complemented the coffee well, making the beverages a unique and enjoyable part of the experience.

Overall, Drips Bakery Café impressed with its inventive take on classic items and thoughtful execution. While not every dish wowed, the Almond Croissant and Ondeh Ondeh Danish alone make it worth a visit. For a cozy afternoon snack or a coffee date with a twist, this café is a great choice.

Duke Dessert (糖伯府) offers a delightful variety of desserts that cater to different palates, from rich and creamy to light and refreshing. Their attention to quality and use of fresh ingredients shine through in every dish. Whether a fan of traditional Asian flavors or looking to try something new, this is the perfect spot to satisfy dessert cravings.

Almond Sesame Paste with Glutinous Balls

This comforting dessert is a perfect mix of rich, creamy almond and sesame paste paired with soft, chewy glutinous rice balls. With options for peanut, black sesame, or a mix of both fillings, it caters to a range of preferences.

Mango King Snow Ice

A refreshing standout! The Mango King Snow Ice is a delightful combination of finely shaved ice topped with fresh, sweet mangoes. It's a tropical escape in every bite and a fantastic choice for beating the heat.

Beancurd Glass Jelly with Red Bean and Tapioca Balls

A textural delight that combines silky beancurd, soft red beans, and chewy tapioca balls. The interplay of flavors and textures makes this dessert a crowd-pleaser and a satisfying treat.

Traditional Herbal Jelly

This dessert is perfect for those seeking a lighter and more health-focused option. The slightly bitter, earthy flavor of the herbal jelly pairs well with its smooth texture, leaving you refreshed and revitalized.

Black Sesame Drink with Almond and Lotus Seed

A warm and hearty drink that blends nutty black sesame, creamy almond, and subtle lotus seed flavors. It's a soothing choice that feels indulgent yet nourishing.

Mango Bingsu is a refreshing treat that perfectly complements Singapore’s humid weather. The dessert is beautifully presented with generous chunks of fresh, golden mango sitting atop a mountain of ultra-fine shaved ice soaked in milk.

The bingsu itself is light, smooth, and milky, offering a creamy taste without the heaviness of whipped cream. The natural sweetness of the ripe mango cubes pairs excellently with the milk-infused ice, creating a balanced flavor profile that’s not overly sweet. The subtle crunch from almond slivers sprinkled on top adds a pleasant texture to each bite.

While it’s on the pricier side, the portion is substantial, making it perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying solo if you’re feeling indulgent. For mango lovers and fans of bingsu, this dessert is a tropical escape in a bowl!

Indulged in the most delicious dark chocolate ice cream bar at @discoverthedark Dark Gallery after dinner! 🍫🍦 We loved the rich, creamy texture and deep chocolate flavor. Definitely a must-try for chocolate lovers in Singapore!

Cafe Belle-Ville at Vivocity is a charming spot to unwind, but it's clear they're already gearing up for the festive season. As we visited during the midday rush, the cafe was bustling with patrons seeking a cozy retreat.

The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the Tiramisu Pancake. The rich, creamy tiramisu flavor was pronounced, and the subtle sweetness was balanced perfectly. The addition of blueberries between the pancake layers added a delightful burst of freshness.

We also had the roast beef sandwich, which was a decent option. The beef was tender and flavorful, but the sandwich would have benefited from a slight toast to add some crunch.

Hidden away in the bustling Fusionopolis, GelatiAmo is a true gem for ice cream enthusiasts. This charming gelato shop consistently draws in crowds, particularly for its exceptional pistachio flavor.

The pistachio ice cream at GelatiAmo is a delightful surprise. It's a symphony of nutty goodness, with a rich, almost buttery taste that lingers on your palate. Each scoop is a delightful experience, with generous chunks of pistachio mixed throughout the gelato, providing a satisfying textural contrast. The flavor is intense and authentic, showcasing the true essence of the pistachio nut.

If you're a pistachio lover, GelatiAmo's pistachio ice cream is an absolute must-try.
