Sweets For My Sweet ๐ญ
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 ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฃ๐ค๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐๐! ๐๐ ๐ป๐โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
TBH I didn't really have much expectations for the food here, but those little morsels were surprisingly delicious! ๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ
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. ๐ฅน Thankfully, they were kind enough to extend our table for 30min since I reallyyyyy wanted to try those famous ๐๐๐ง๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ, 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! ๐ธโค๏ธ
Filled with dense cream which was pretty much tasteless, everything was overpowered by the strong flavours of Banana ๐, 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 ๐๐ด๐ฅ
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! ๐๐
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! ๐๐ I mean, there's always space for dessert! Mwarharhar!!!

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... ๐
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! ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ญ

If there's one thing I miss most about Japan, it's the yummy soft serves ๐ฆmade with creamy Japanese milk...
But for now, @tokyomilkcheesesg is my go-to for their signature ๐พ๐๐ ๐พ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐! ๐๐ Being the cheese fanatic that I am, this is my winning combo:
๐พ๐๐๐๐จ๐ ๐๐ค๐๐ฉ ๐พ๐ง๐๐๐ข- Made with 2 kinds of cream cheese and Hokkaido Gouda cheese, a perfect balance of sweet and savoury.๐ง๐ง
.
๐๐๐ก๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐จ๐๐๐๐ ๐ - 2 layers of cheese mousse and milk mousse made with cream cheese from both France ๐ซ๐ทand Hokkaido๐ฏ๐ต. This was served semi-frozen, but I personally prefer it a little softer.
๐๐๐ก๐ฉ & ๐พ๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ฉ ๐พ๐ค๐ค๐ ๐๐ - Think of this as the ๐๐๐๐๐จ๐ฎ upgraded version of ็ฝใๆไบบ, made with fresh Hokkaido milk ๐ฏ๐ตand French Guรฉrande salt ๐ซ๐ท, stuffed with a layer of camembert cheese chocolate.
Cheese. ๐งJapan. ๐ฏ๐ตFrance.๐ซ๐ท
What an absolute winning combination!!! For fans of sweet and savoury desserts, this Sundae definitely hits all the right spots! ๐๐๐๐
Trying to beat the relentless heat and humidity of Singapore's eternal summer, a refreshing @dopadopa.sg ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ค is certainly a welcome treat! ๐๐๐ผ
It's been a long time since my last visit, back when @leonardong.9 first started the business with his awesome handroasted ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ค made with a ton of love. โฅ๏ธ Fast forward a few years, and my taste buds tingled with happiness after such a long hiatus of this yummilicious treat.
๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ค ๐ - 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.
๐๐๐ง๐ง๐๐ง๐ค ๐๐ค๐๐๐๐ง๐ซ - We really loved this rendition of one of our favourite classic chocolates @ferrerorocherit ๐๐ฎ๐น 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? ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ We could definitely have a lot more! Haha... ๐โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ
What can I say? My heart goes แชOแญแฉแชOแญแฉ for this locally made ice cream anytime! ๐โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ
Finally made my way down to @tigerlilypatisserie to try their famed ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ค ($10.00), and was surprised to find that there was no queue on a quiet afternoon! :D ๐
This dainty little art piece is truly a must-try for pistachio-obsessed foodies, featuring:

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! ๐ค๐ฐ๐๐
Popped by my neighbourhood gelato place @around_sg to finally try ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ช๐ฃ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฉ ($15.90), with 2 scoops of gelato with a freshly made waffle sprinkled with speculoos cookie crumbs. ๐ช
๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ค ๐ - Additional $1.00 for this premium flavour and our go-to at this cafรฉ.
๐ฝ๐๐จ๐๐ค๐๐๐ช - Wasn't a huge fan of this as I felt that the flavours didn't really shine through.
๐๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐๐ง๐ง๐ฎ ๐พ๐๐๐๐จ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ง - 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 ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ gelato anytime!
The ๐๐ค๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐ค๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ง๐ซ๐ here at @cowpressocoffeesg pairs well with the ๐พ๐ง๐๐ข๐ ๐ผ๐ช ๐พ๐๐ค๐๐ค๐ก๐๐ฉ ๐ฝ๐ง๐๐ค๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ค๐ช๐๐๐ฃ๐ช๐ฉ ๐ซ($11.80), but being a soft serve with lower fat content, it melted extremely quickly in the sweltering SG heat... ๐ โ๏ธ
TBH I felt the ๐ฝ๐ง๐๐ค๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ค๐ช๐๐๐ฃ๐ช๐ฉ๐จ ๐ฉ 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! ๐ฅฐโโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ค๐๐๐ โ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐ฅ
Doesn't a dash of cheery yellow brighten up your mood instantly? ๐ฅฐ๐๐๐
When I saw that @flippers.singapore had launched their seasonal special ๐ณ๐๐๐๐ & ๐ช๐๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ ($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 ๐๐๐ข๐ค๐ฃ ๐พ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐๐ฉ๐, ๐๐๐ข๐ค๐ฃ ๐พ๐ช๐ง๐, a scoop of ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ ๐พ๐ง๐๐๐ข ๐ and a dash of savoury ๐พ๐ง๐๐๐ข ๐พ๐๐๐๐จ๐ ๐ง.
.
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 ๐พ๐ง๐๐๐ข ๐พ๐๐๐๐จ๐ ๐ง would have elevated the flavours much more.
Always my go-to beverage at @coffeebeansg ever since my student days, ๐๐ช๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ก๐ 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... ๐ฅฒ
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. ๐คญ 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 ๐๐ช๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ก๐~๐ฅฒ๐ผ๐ผ
