Sweets For My Sweet 🍭

Finally fulfilled one of my birthday wishes of visiting the breathtakingly beautiful @atlasbarsg , and am soooo happy that we made it in time for their 𝙁𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙣 𝙏𝙚𝙖! 😍🎅🏻🎄❤️❤️❤️

TBH I didn't really have much expectations for the food here, but those little morsels were surprisingly delicious! 😋❤️❤️

The only downside is that the service was far from stellar during our visit, and they seemed to be rather short-staffed, leaving guests stranded at the reception for quite some time (about 15min?) even after the designated booking time, then asked to take back the table 2 hours after the designated booking time. 🥹 Thankfully, they were kind enough to extend our table for 30min since I reallyyyyy wanted to try those famous 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨🍸❤️❤️, and I didn't want to down them all in 5 minutes without savouring the love and care that had been poured into each one.

And I have to say, if there's ONE thing you HAVE to try here, definitely go for the Cocktails/ Martinis/ Anything Gin! 🍸❤️

Filled with dense cream which was pretty much tasteless, everything was overpowered by the strong flavours of Banana 🍌, even the chocolate sauce provided did nothing to balance out the flavours. Highly approve of the Chocolate Gelato served on the side though, it was smooth and chocolatey and was the highlight of this dessert.

This is not your traditional Italian rendition, but it's been beautifully crafted into a tantalizing treat that's full of airy goodness, yet packs a punch with a creamy kick of @kahlua 😍🌴🥃

Topped with crunchy chocolate balls and a dusting of cocoa powder, this beauty isn't too sweet despite the different nuances of chocolate embedded in it's various layers. Will be back again for this!

The pancakes here are pretty dense unlike light and airy Japanese souffle pancakes which I have a soft spot for, so would recommend to share! 😋💕

While the quality of the food here isn't high on the wow factor, they are alllll sooooo pretty and taste pretty decent so it's worth a visit for the experience!

Been seeing rave reviews about this place, and couldn't resist getting a double scoop even though we were stuffed from lunch! 😝😋 I mean, there's always space for dessert! Mwarharhar!!!

𝙋𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙤 💚 (Premium flavour)
𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙟𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙖 🫖 (Premium flavour)

Sadly, the ice cream melted soooo fast and was already dripping by the time we crossed the road, that we were practically slurping it down in a rush to finish it before it became a wet sloppy mess, so we didn't get to savour the flavours well... 😅

I did feel that the flavours here are fairly muted for our taste, and while the ice cream was yummy, I'd probably just pop by our go-to BOP for our pistachio fix next time! 😘🍨🍦🍭🍭

🇯🇵🐄 𝘾𝙊𝙒 𝘾𝙊𝙒 𝙎𝙐𝙉𝘿𝘼𝙀 🐄🧀

If there's one thing I miss most about Japan, it's the yummy soft serves 🍦made with creamy Japanese milk...
But for now, @tokyomilkcheesesg is my go-to for their signature 𝘾𝙊𝙒 𝘾𝙊𝙒 𝙎𝙐𝙉𝘿𝘼𝙀! 😋💋 Being the cheese fanatic that I am, this is my winning combo:

𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙎𝙤𝙛𝙩 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢- Made with 2 kinds of cream cheese and Hokkaido Gouda cheese, a perfect balance of sweet and savoury.🧀🧀
.
𝙈𝙞𝙡𝙠 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚 - 2 layers of cheese mousse and milk mousse made with cream cheese from both France 🇫🇷and Hokkaido🇯🇵. This was served semi-frozen, but I personally prefer it a little softer.

𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙩 & 𝘾𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙩 𝘾𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙚 - Think of this as the 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙮 upgraded version of 白い恋人, made with fresh Hokkaido milk 🇯🇵and French Guérande salt 🇫🇷, stuffed with a layer of camembert cheese chocolate.

Cheese. 🧀Japan. 🇯🇵France.🇫🇷

What an absolute winning combination!!! For fans of sweet and savoury desserts, this Sundae definitely hits all the right spots! 😋💋💋💋

Trying to beat the relentless heat and humidity of Singapore's eternal summer, a refreshing @dopadopa.sg 𝙂𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤 is certainly a welcome treat! 😍💛🌼

It's been a long time since my last visit, back when @leonardong.9 first started the business with his awesome handroasted 𝙋𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙤 𝙂𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤 made with a ton of love. ♥️ Fast forward a few years, and my taste buds tingled with happiness after such a long hiatus of this yummilicious treat.

𝙋𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙤 💚 - Creamy and nutty with bits of pistachio, this oh-so-comforting taste is one that my heart remembers from the first time I tried it.

𝙁𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙧𝙤 𝙍𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧🍫 - We really loved this rendition of one of our favourite classic chocolates @ferrerorocherit 😋🇮🇹 Smooth, yet packed a punch with a satisfying hazelnut flavour without the saccharine sweetness offered by other establishments. Butttt why is the amount of gelato scooped so much lesser than the one given for the Pistachio cone? 🥺🥺 We could definitely have a lot more! Haha... 😆♥️♥️

What can I say? My heart goes ᗪOᑭᗩᗪOᑭᗩ for this locally made ice cream anytime! 😋♥️♥️♥️

Finally made my way down to @tigerlilypatisserie to try their famed 𝙋𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙤 ($10.00), and was surprised to find that there was no queue on a quiet afternoon! :D 💚

This dainty little art piece is truly a must-try for pistachio-obsessed foodies, featuring:
𝑷𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒐 𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆
𝑷𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒐 𝑺𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆
𝑷𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒐 𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝑮𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆

Definitely on the pricey side, but it was really fun to eat with the various textures of pistachios melting in the mouth in layers of pleasure. Would I return for this again? Probably not due to the steep price tag, but would definitely recommend to try it at least once! I'll also be back to try the other flavours next time! 🤗🍰💕💕

Popped by my neighbourhood gelato place @around_sg to finally try 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙚𝙩 ($15.90), with 2 scoops of gelato with a freshly made waffle sprinkled with speculoos cookie crumbs. 🍪

𝙋𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙤 💚 - Additional $1.00 for this premium flavour and our go-to at this café.
𝘽𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙛𝙛🍪 - Wasn't a huge fan of this as I felt that the flavours didn't really shine through.
𝙍𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙠𝙚🍓🧀 - Slightly cheesy with a refreshingly light tart berry flavour, this is my 2nd fave flavour after Pistachio.

So while our hearts still lie with the creamy texture of BOP, we're happy to pop by for an 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 gelato anytime!

The 𝙍𝙤𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙋𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙤 𝙎𝙤𝙛𝙩 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 here at @cowpressocoffeesg pairs well with the 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚 𝘼𝙪 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙣𝙪𝙩 🍫($11.80), but being a soft serve with lower fat content, it melted extremely quickly in the sweltering SG heat... 😅☀️

TBH I felt the 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙨 🍩 here are kinda overhyped and not as fluffy as I would have liked, compared to Burnt Ends and Puff & Peaks, so I'll probably just go for the soft serve alone next time! And of course, I highly recommend their super awesome coffee which I will review in another post! 🥰☕❤️❤️❤️

Doesn't a dash of cheery yellow brighten up your mood instantly? 🥰🍋🍋🍋

When I saw that @flippers.singapore had launched their seasonal special 𝑳𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒏 & 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝑲𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒌𝒊 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔🥞 ($20.80), I knew I had to have these in my tummy pronto!

Although this flavour seems more apt for summer than spring, I really did enjoy the fluffy pancakes (with 2 forks, of course!) served with tangy 𝙇𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙩🍋, 𝙇𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙪𝙧𝙙, a scoop of 𝙑𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖 𝙄𝙘𝙚 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 🍃 and a dash of savoury 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚 🧀.
.
My only gripe is that the pancakes seemed exceptionally smaller than usual, leaving a lot of empty space on the plate, and I think a slightly more generous amount of 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙨𝙚 🧀 would have elevated the flavours much more.

Always my go-to beverage at @coffeebeansg ever since my student days, 𝙋𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙑𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖 was always a comforting, clean zen away from my coffee addiction, but it seems that this beverage has been put on the backburner of the menu... 🥲

It wasn't until we asked the barista, that they shared with us that this drink was never popular to be begin with and thus, has been removed from the menu entirely. 🤭 Of course, since they have other vanilla flavoured items on the menu, they were happy to oblige and prepared one for us!

Sadly, sips of this failed to invoke those precious memories of innocent student days gone by, and I'm guessing that the vanilla powder formula has been changed since way back then. I guess it's goodbye for now, my dear friend 𝙋𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙑𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖~🥲🌼🌼
