Dessert was a sight to behold as the team marched out, each bearing a different one or part of one.
Our group enjoyed the Valrhona Chocolate Soufflé, cut open and filled with creme fraiche cream and gianduja chocolate gelato (never seen a soufflé plated that before till that night when Chef de Cuisine Brandon did it table-side). Also the Praline Mascarpone Bar and platter of Assorted Sorbets and Ice-creams. It was however, the Warm Butterscotch Apple Crumble and Kaya Baked Alaska, that bowled the dessert-lovers amongst us over. Served warm, the former was, and I am not exaggerating when I say this, pitch perfect in every way. The latter, an inspired take of Singapore’s favourite “kaya toast set” was stunning albeit being on the sweeter side. Composed of coconut cake, pandan ice-cream and coconut sorbet clad in meringue, it was plated with coffee crumble and egg sabayon.
All desserts at CUT are priced at $24++ each.
Decadent dessert that is sinfully indulgent & satisfying. Must order if you are a die hard chocolate lover!
Not served in the usual ramekin but instead in an eye catching shiny silver pot; melted dark chocolate is poured into the soufflé, letting the light sponge absorb all that chocolatey goodness, followed by a dollop of crème fraîche and topped with a scoop of rich and dense Gianduja Chocolate Gelato, then drizzled with more melted dark chocolate to finish!
Love how the hot melted dark chocolate flows deeper into the sponge when you dig into the moist pillowy centre, fusing together with the delicate crème fraîche which balances the dessert by softening the richness from the Gianduja Chocolate Gelato.
Valrhona Chocolate Souffle ($24) served with chocolate sauce raspberry creme fraiche and chocolate ice cream. Like a good souffle was light and really airy, but taste wise really rich. 4.5/5
The best chocolate souffle in Singapore! Flavourful chocolate souffle, the server cut open the center and poured in cream, chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce all together. So sinful yet heavenly!
