Desserts and Drinks 🍡

Got this with the Burpple Beyond one for one, however I was pretty disappointed. They only allow you to get regular cups with the promotion so you can’t get the sets with many different toppings. Seeing the photos and the pretty purple colour of the ice cream, I had pretty high expectations so I was thoroughly disappointed when the ice cream had almost no sweet potato taste whatsoever. The sea salt could still be tasted in the mixed cup, but the purple side could very well have been vanilla ice cream. For its regular price of $6.50 a cup, I would definitely not purchase again. Also, the server asked if I wanted gold/silver flake toppings and I happily agreed thinking they were a set of toppings. It was my own fault for not double checking as they were not, and were really gold/silver leaves which did nothing to help hide the plainness of the ice cream. Gold flakes cost an additional $4 which I did not check beforehand which made my total $10.50.

$8.50 for a slice, this cheesecake may not be cheap but it’s flavour is worth its price! It’s light and fluffy with a strong yet not overpowering matcha taste. It’s great for a dessert after a filling meal as it’s not the kind of heavy cheesecake where you can’t continue after a few bites because it’s too thick? I enjoyed it a lot as I don’t really like the spongey light cheesecake yet the heavy New York cheesecake styles are a bit too heavy for me, so this creamy green tea cheese cake was perfect!

The soft serve ice cream from Mr Bean is hands down my 👌👌 favourite 👌👌 soft serve ever. Even when I’m on a diet this is always an exception I would make.
However their black soy ice cream didn’t taste any different from their normal ice cream to me, or perhaps my tastebuds are not perceptive enough to catch the difference. It miiigght have been a little thicker and heavier than the normal soya ice cream but then again on different days or at different stores the soya ice cream itself can be thicker or more watery so I’m not too sure about that.
$2.10 for a cone and $2.40 for a cup

If you’re a fan of green tea, Tsujiri is the place to go! All things green tea are sold here from drinks to floats to parfaits. I got the Houjicha float because it’s my favourite tea. The soft serve on top is flavourful and creamy, and overall just really great. However one thing to note is that the floats are more like a dessert than a beverage, so if you’re looking for something to quench your thirst this is not it! I was pretty thirsty at the moment so this drink was a little too thick for me.

$6.50 for the one with O-Matcha ice cream, and slightly cheaper for Vanilla ice cream

For four days from 14-17 June, Chillax Asia is having a food convention at Suntec! One of the stalls there is First Brew, a stall promoting healthy eating. I’ve never had overnight oats that tasted this good before. The oats were soaked in their Chia Seed Almond Plus drink, which has a really nice aromatic almond taste. It’s not too sweet and just right, and can be drunk on its own or added to make oats.
I tried their black sesame drink too and it was really good, will definitely stock up on these so I can make oats myself at home!

Honeymoon dessert used to be our favourite family haunt in the past but with so many new desserts popping up all over Singapore we’ve not been back here in a while.
First thing we noticed was the price! It’s a lot more expensive than in the past sadly but their menu has a lot of new items now.
This coconut jelly was decent, the coconut taste was not strong enough and was overpowered by the vanilla ice cream. The mango pieces were also pretty inconsistent, and some pieces were extremely sour.
For $11.95, I doubt I’ll ever be trying this again. Next time I’ll probably go back to the standard menu which we’ve tried and tested before such as the pancakes and almond pastes

There are many avocado stores in Alexandra Village due to the popularity of the Avocado Juice here. However one of my favourite stalls would be this Mr Avocado Exotic Fruit Juice. Thick, creamy and not too diluted, it comes with a sweet Gula Melaka taste and does not have that artificialness that some other stalls have.

$3 for a cup of small which is more than enough to satiate my thirst on a hot day!

The bingsu at O’ma Spoon isn’t as good as I remembered it to be as compared to the past, or perhaps it was because I got the mango previously. The strawberries are slightly sour, and the whipped cream is too sweet and does not go well with the bingsu. However, the ice is still light and fluffy which is great and we managed to get matcha ice cream instead of vanilla as well.

$15.90 a bowl is slightly pricey though for a bowl of ice and fruits

Recently I’ve started liking avocado and I’ve finally found my favourite avocado milkshake in Singapore!
The milkshake is nice and fruity with a strong coconut taste. I like adding on coconut flesh to give a little chew to the drink.
Hands down the best avocado coconut milkshake I’ve had!
