All The Sweet Nothings

Didn’t expect myself to enjoy this, but I did! Here you’ll get a good portion of Okinawan traditional brown sugar crepe, along with a cup of whipped cream for dipping. The whipped cream was surprisingly fragrant and milky, which we thought paired well with the subtly sweet crepe. The crepe texture is more soft and chewy - I’d imagine that it also may not be for everyone, but we liked this as a lovely end to our meal.

Here’s one of the hot desserts available on the menu. It’s the most worth it dessert out of the three we tried. Had quite a bit of ingredients and it’s not too sweet - a warm soothing bowl to end the meal.

Mao shan wang durian cheesecake with its top layered with soft cubes of cake! This was creamy, lightly cheesy and pretty rich of durian - you also get bits of durian flesh between mouths. Thought the base crust could be less thick, but it was still enjoyable! Make sure to wait till the cake has defrost fully to get the creaminess.

Loved this dessert! The strips of glutinous rice cake were served warm with a thin crispy crust. It was super soft with a slight chew. Also really liked that you get to control how much brown sugar syrup, sugar and crushed peanuts you’d like to pair the rice cakes with. It’s not at all too sweet nor greasy.

Didn’t think the chocolate hazelnut matched the egg tart, although the egg tart itself was decent.

I really like how they always give you a heads up on the sweetness of the mangoes for the day before you order. The base is like a mango ice slushy, topped with sago, pomelo bits and mango chunks. Very refreshing and not cloying!

Still my favourite durian dessert around! The usual portion is $5 but another dollar top up and you get more durian flesh, so why not 😂 Love that it’s not too sweet, but still creamy and rich of durian. It gets a bit crowded at night but service is quick.

Popped by Saveur’s brand new ice cream joint, Bread & Butterfly, for a free scoop of ice cream! Though I preferred our other scoop of Pistachio & Candied Pecan ($6), this Apple Cucumber was an interesting one. Thought the sweetness can be toned down a little, but it was refreshing with the addition of mint and tartness from the green apples. Other than cups, they have freshly made lavender-infused cones available at a top up of $1.

Popped by Saveur’s brand new ice cream joint, Bread & Butterfly, for a free scoop of ice cream! They have 12 flavours in total and we were impressed with their unique choices like Strawberry Tomato, Viet Coffee & Mint, Corn Caramel, etc.

Heard that this Pistachio & Candied Pecan has been a favourite and it’s not hard to see why. Though it was just a touch sweeter than I would have liked, it was creamy, smooth and had a distinct nutty fragrance. The bits of caramelized pecans added some helpful crunch too. But while it was a nice treat, the original price tag is definitely quite pricey. Other than cups, they have freshly made lavender-infused cones available at a top up of $1.

First had Zakuzaku in Japan and now they’re opening in ION on 30th Nov. Apart from their signature Croquant Chou Zakuzaku ($2.80), try this limited Christmas special, Jingle Berry Zakuzaku! The berry filling was refreshingly light and tangy, pairing well with its crunchy exterior. Also liked that there’s a good ratio of filling to puff. Other items up on their menu are the Zakuzaku Soft Serve ($6), Hiyazaku ($3.80) and a bunch of upcoming limited edition menu items unique to our local store.

Thank you for the kind invite @zakuzaku.sg ! ✨

A new dessert with a burning (literally) presentation! There were lots of different textures in here - mainly sea coconut cubes, jackfruit pudding and raspberries, topped off with sugarcane meringue that’s torched right in front of you by the chefs. It’s not too sweet either, so it serves as a good end to a meal here.

If you like rich chocolate cakes, this one is for you. There’s also added zesty touches of orange as well!
