The Muffinry
This quiet, unassuming café, courtesy of Christopher Leow and Shareen Lopez, is just what the doctor ordered to ease your sugar cravings. As the name suggests, there are muffins aplenty: spiced carrot (Leow’s personal favorite), lavender-lemon, Earl Grey and fig (our pick), peanut butter-choc chip and piña colada. But that’s not all. There are also […]
TWG Tea Salon & Boutique
Clever marketing aside, they’ve got a truly remarkable collection of teas that find their way into their delightful pastries and desserts such as Darjeeling Phuguri infused crème brûlée, matcha financiers and scones with a homemade TWG tea jelly; even macarons come in flavors like 1837 Black Tea and Blackcurrant, Earl Grey-chocolate and Morocccan Mint Tea. […]
Twelve Cupcakes
You probably already know Fly Entertainment Artiste Jaime Teo from her work on TV, but when she’s not in front of the camera, she’s keeping busy here. Founded with hubby Daniel Ong, Twelve Cupcakes features cupcakes in luscious flavors like lychee, mocha, red velvet (a real winner) and PB Chocolate (peanut butter on a moist […]
Theater Review: Spring Awakening
Fresh faces tell a universal coming-of-age story with admirable vigor.
Seventh Heaven (112 Katong)
Housed in the brand new 112 Katong mall, Seventh Heaven is experimental in the best possible way. Suffice to say the results are often unexpected with flavors like black garlic and mayonnaise, but you’ll also spot kaya, apple- Chardonnay and lemon curd.
Chocolat Factory
It’s hard to resist their tongue-in-cheek packaging; the tubes, the pots (full of almonds or hazelnuts dipped in dark and milk chocolate) and the bars of 125 g of Big Emotions or 250 g of Happiness are fab gift ideas, even if the recipient isn’t a chocoholic. For self-proclaimed choc snobs, a range of single […]
Cacao7
We usually turn up our noses at low-carb anything, but the goods from cacao7 sure are a rare exception. Plus there aren’t many other places in town that can claim to make their own organic chocolates using Ecuadorian Arriba cacao. Don’t pass on the French truffles and salted caramel bon bons. There’s also homemade ice […]
Chocolate Atelier
Eastsiders have plenty to be proud of and this shop is yet another good reason. Expect to find an assortment of Swiss pastries, cookies and chocolates, courtesy of pastry chef and director Reto Marzari who also conducts chocolate-making and baking classes.
The Daily Scoop
The Daily Scoop has been around since 2004, and it’s really a testament to how good their ice creams are (egg-free, no less). We like their newer, more accessible outlet at Holland V, with offerings like brandied fig & honey, ginger crumble and Yellow Brick Road (caramelized banana and brownie). Fans of local desserts will […]
Latte e Miele
Latte e Miele (which translates as milk and honey) is a tidy little gelato store out in the East that just so happens to make dangerously addictive stuff in unusual flavors such as sakura (cherry blossom), lemongrass, white truffle and lavender. They also do deliveries for free every second and fourth Thursday of the month […]
