Mei Heong Yuen Dessert
There are options aplenty at this very local Chinese dessert joint such as glutinous rice balls, steamed milk pudding, herbal jelly and walnut paste. But the real reason we come here is for their incredibly light and fluffy Taiwanese snow ice dessert which is akin to eating flavored snowflakes (tastes better than it sounds, we […]
The Cookie Museum
We still remember them fondly as The V Tearoom, but they’ve long since rebranded themselves as The Cookie Museum, and for good reason. Their cookies are now legendary, with a huge range of flavors including Madagascar Orchid, Cookie Brownie and Berry Lite (one of our faves); they’re also constantly creating new ones. If you’re adventurous, […]
Once Upon A Milkshake
It’s not easy to get your hands on good milkshakes in Singapore, so we’re glad Once Upon A Milkshake is doing its part to fill the void. And they make ‘em nice and thick, just the way they’re meant to be. Our pick is the Sir Cookies & Cream and Chocolate Truffle Castle, topped with […]
K Ki
After a short hiatus and some renovations (they just reopened on Jan 7), these folk are back. The main draws here are the cakes, lovingly handmade of course. There’s the Antoinette (a white chocolate mousse with a mango center), Mont Blanc (fresh cream cocooned by French chestnut paste) and Little Red Riding Hood (dark chocolate […]
Jewels Artisan Chocolate
Chocolatier Then Chui Foong has trained with world-renowned pâtissier Pierre Herme, and it shows. Our picks are the Perle Noir (Black Pearl) with champagne ganache, and the Coral, cola and chili (sounds odd, but it works). But it’s not only the hand-crafted chocolates that are scrumptious, they also do some mean macarons; the unique Black […]
Nectarie
Located amid the craziness of Clarke Quay’s many bars and restaurants, this shop serves as a welcome refuge. Have a nibble of their strawberry shortcake, full of luscious strawberries atop a light vanilla sponge and covered in crunchy almond slivers. They even offer a Valrhona chocolate fondue. Pick from 40 or 60 percent and prepare […]
Truffs
For those who deem themselves true-blue dark chocolate aficionados, this is the place to be. The crisp yet delicate shelled handmade truffles here, 55 percent équateur, 66 percent antilles or 70 percent Honduras (our hands-down fave), are truly delicious. Owner and chocolatier Teng Ei Liang has also introduced a signature chocolate cake, as well as […]
The Patissier
This homegrown brand has already established a solid reputation for making some of our island’s most delectable desserts, with classics like tiramisu and strawberry shortcake. What we just can’t say no to, and you won’t be able to either, is their passion fruit meringue.
Let’s Sweet
This new dessert buffet restaurant specializes in creating an extensive assortment of Japanese-inspired sweets. We’re crazy about the yaki mochi—rice balls slowly-toasted till a light brown, hiding fillings like red bean and sweet potato. Even their black sesame and blueberry chiffon cakes are delicious. Be sure to leave some room for the Hokkaido coffee zenzai—sticky […]
Laurent’s Cafe & Chocolate Bar
Frenchman Laurent Bernard has done so well for himself that he’s now got a second outlet at Portsdown Road. We still favor the original branch though, Robertson Quay’s infinitely more accessible—and there’s better people watching. Skip their crispy chocolate tart (previously our old go-to, but we’ve since resigned ourselves to their gradual deterioration) in favor […]
