Dolcetto by Basilico (Regent Singapore)

And the best way to celebrate is to break into the stash of baked goods sent over by Regent Singapore (THANK YOU!)!
The Tortino in Sfoglia, Italian croissant, and la Sfogliata al Caramello (clockwise) from Dolcetto by Basilico are great with a strong bracing cup of coffee, and are a great reminder that there are so many tasty treats to eat again after June 19!

It consisted of Bread Flour, Salt, Yeast, Water, Olive Oil and Topping (Rosemary). It was quite strong and pungent taste for Rosemary.

It ($11.00) consisted of sliced pan-fried Mushroom and Truffle. It was quite strong and pungent taste for truffle but pan-fried mushroom didn't have enough taste.

Ferroiva Cherry Cake ($42.00) consisted of Chocolate Sponge, Ferrovia Cherry, Chocolate Cream, Vanilla Mascarpone and Cherry Wine.
I like their cake got strong taste of chocolate sponge & cream and cherry wine but got mixed bitter and sweet aftertaste.
But the vanilla mascarpone cream was quite smooth texture and not that thick for me.
The texture of Ferroiva Cherry cake was quite smooth and moist.

Housed in Regent Hotel, swing by this luxe bakery after dinner for sweet Italian treats. Share their sweet and zesty Amalfi Lemon Tart ($9) and the light-as-air Strawberry Torta ($9.50) where fluffy vanilla sponge is coated in caramelised almonds. Another must-try is their soft and chewy Blueberry & Custard Bombolone (Italian donut) that oozes with every bite. Pro tip: After 8pm, selected pastries go at half price.

The name may be "Strawberry Torta" but that crunchy almond coating had my "torta" attention 😂
To be honest, every part of this was on point: fluffy vanilla sponge, light-as-air cream and strawberries that were sweet enough. These alone would already make a very pleasing cake. But with that golden coat of sweet caramelised almonds, it's irresistible.
The usual price of a slice of "Strawberry Torta" is $9.50 but I got the "Merenda Set" (available daily from 3pm to 7pm), which includes any cake and a cup of coffee (cappuccino even) or tea for only $14 nett. What a steal.
