All Things Sweet

Tokyo Banana ($7)

Have been wanting to try this for the longest time, and had high expectations for this. With that being said, I was still very impressed by it's flavour and texture - tasted exactly like how you would expect from its name, and the soft serve was so gorgeously smooth with the crunchy walnuts and spongy Tokyo Banana cakes for diversity. Highly recommended!

Waffle with single scoop $9.50

Looked promising at first, but was disappointed when the first bite revealed the waffles to be the "Cakey" sort rather than the crispy type. While the ice cream was pretty good, I'd say that there isn't really anything special about it.

Charcoal waffle with Caramelised strawberry ice cream ($5.5+$3.8)

Surprisingly value for money for a cafe in Tanjong Pagar. Not a huge fan of the charcoal waffles, perhaps their normal ones are better though. Creamier's waffles are much better in terms of texture and taste. Apiary fares much better in the ice cream department - smooth, creamy, rich, not overly sweet (basically ticks all the boxes of what makes great ice cream).

Durian & Coconut Deutsch Pancake ($13)

Loved how each element in this dish is juxtaposed against at least one other element - cold ice cream against warm pancakes, buttery pancakes against sweet strawberries and soft durian against crunchy coconut sablés. It's a mess, but it's a beautiful one, one that works.

I recommend this over the apple crumble one. Not that much of a fan of warm apples that are overly sweetened.

Classic Acai Bowl ($7.90)

My first time trying an Acai Bowl and I finally understand it's popularity. Commonly and normally eaten as a breakfast, I chose to have it as an aften-lunch dessert instead. For a "healthy" option, this was great a choice - very refreshing especially with the addition of sweet fruits (strawberries were my favourite), and you wouldn't feel like you're obliged to go to the gym after consuming it.

Not being one who cares too much about health, I think I would rather stick to ice cream or froyo for it's richer, smoother texture.

Waffle with Black Forest Ice Cream ($10)

Walked in eager to fix my waffle cravings, and walked out a happy man. Every element in this dish was just extremely well executed - waffles were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, while the ice cream was just gloriously smooth. I liked that the waffles remained crispy even when covered with melted ice cream, making it that much more enjoyable.

Can't think of how many calories is in this, but with food so good, I'd say it's worth it.

Queued for at least 10 mins before getting this durian chendol softserve ($7)

And it was great. I love that it successfully Incorporated the flavours of chendol into an ice cream concoction, though they could have been more generous with their ingredients. The durian was fresh, and had a very sweet note to it, which sort of overpowered the entire dish. Being the durian lover that I am, I did not complain. But if you're a chendol purist, give the durian version a miss.

I highly recommend you to share this as it does get a little jelat after a few mouthfuls.
