Looking for Desserts places?

mochi waffle had a vvv stretchy mochi pull! didn’t think a sorbet would go well w waffles but we really wanted to try the raspberry passionfruit sorbet. turned out to be super refreshing and the pairing worked!

bbq chicken was tender and flavourful!! can’t comment on the bbq sauce coz they ran out of it and replaced it w roasted sesame.

q ex but issa good acai bowl!!

this was way too expensive for the portion🥲 personally prefer the soft serve too. wld stick to their parfaits/floats!!

Loved this grain bowl, which features a base of grainy light quinoa, sprinkled with Japanese furikake seasoning, crisp spring onions, and roasted sesame dressing. The result is a grainy salty savoury spice sweet nutty flavour.
.
There's several garnishes, including wobbly soft hanjuku tamago / soft boiled egg with eggy sweet salty flavour, crunchy firm sautéed baby corn with vegetal sweet salty spice flavour, and creamy soft avocado with vegetal grassy earthy sweet flavour.
.
The star is the large boneless fillet of salmon fish, tender flaky moist in texture, with robust meaty salty savoury sweet smoky flavour from the generous miso glaze. So addictive.

This is among the best renditions of Avocado Toast around.

Over a base of crisp porous sourdough bread, is stacked a generous portion of juicy chewy 6-hours smoked chipotle pulled pork, chunky smashed avocado, wobbly lightly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise sauce, crisp red radish, and a dusting of paprika powder.

Cut into the eggs, and the beautifully runny yolk coats everything. Has combined bready sour meaty savoury sweet salty vegetal earthy eggy spice flavour.

These chunky chicken winglets are coated in a paprika spiced batter, glazed with honey.

It's crispy crunchy on the outside, juicy tender on the inside, unfolding with sweet salty savoury spice flavour as you work through it. Addictively yummy.

🍰 Explosion Taro Lava Salted Egg Floss Cake
📍Sherry’s Cake
📌 Bencoolen MRT Station
💰 $14

All my favourite things in one (pricey) cake! For anyone who didnt know, theres a hidden bakery in Bencoolen MRT Station, with chinese desserts akin to those from Xiao Gege Snowball Mochi and KS Baking. The stuff is pretty expensive but where else can you find these kinds of desserts?

The salted egg is pretty strong though theres not really enough to warrant it a “lava” cake. Taro is smooth and natural too and the floss adds a nice savoury flavour overall.

$14 for a small cake is pretty steep but if you can afford it, its worth a try!

🤑 worth the price: ehh
🦖 would I buy again: maybe
💍 would I marry: i would date for at least 3 months

🥤Yaxi Perfume Lemon Tea ($7.50)
A really interesting drink, it is super refreshing with a strong lemon flavour, but also a hint of herbal-ness. Though it was something new, I found myself really liking this.

🧉White Moonlight Coconut Perfume Lemon Tea ($7.50)
Very similar to the above drink, just that it is milkier with a coconut aroma. Dont expect a coconut shake because its pretty liquidy, never expected coconut and lemon to pair but it works!

🍉Watermelon Snow Ice ($18.30)
When we were served this, we thought that this was a cake at first :p but nope its actually bingsu! Love the cute and unique presentation and the flavours definitely hit the spot too. The watermelon flavours are pretty prominent and the dessert as a whole isnt too sweet.

🥞Honey Souffle ($21.50)
I was blown away by this pancake as it was super light and fluffy with a moist, melt-in-the-mouth texture. The pancake has a slightly eggy taste and pairs perfectly with the syrup and berries. The syrup is quite sweet though so just a little is enough to elevate the flavours!

Overscoop has opened a new outlet in Orchard Central! Nestled on the 2nd floor, this beautifully decorated cafe comes with spacious tables and comfortable seating to chill and catch up with friends. Though they’re mostly know for their ice cream and waffles, they also offer acai bowls and salad bowls 🍦

We tried their Mochi Waffle ($8) with Cookies & Cream ($5) ice cream, plus their Teriyaki Overbowl ($12.80). The mochi waffles were really exceptional, the centre of the waffle contained a really stretchy and gooey white mochi while the rest of the waffle was crispy. The textural contrasts were just A+ and I really liked how their mochi waffle contained actual mochi and wasn’t just made with glutinous rice flour. Cookies & Cream ice cream was really nice too! It was creamy with generous bits of chewy crushed cookies. Suuuper good.

We weren’t that impressed with the Teriyaki Overbowl unfortunately, the portions were very small in relation to the price and it wasn’t very filling. I did enjoy how healthy it was, both in taste and in ingredients, but it wasn’t nearly hearty enough to justify its steep price.

Would definitely return for their waffles and ice cream, I think that’s what they’re known for too so its better to stick to that.
