Being dessert lovers, we decided to embark on a journey to unearth the hidden gems of both the East and West, and it turned out to be a remarkable one dotted with treasures and only a couple of disappointed digs.Personal favorites from the East include dulce de leche crepe (crepe filled with milk and caramel served with peanut butter ice cream), coconut mango roll (coconut sheet wrapped with fresh mango) and black and white sesame panna cotta.

Being dessert lovers, we decided to embark on a journey to unearth the hidden gems of both the East and West, and it turned out to be a remarkable one dotted with treasures and only a couple of disappointed digs.Personal favorites from the East include dulce de leche crepe (crepe filled with milk and caramel served with peanut butter ice cream), coconut mango roll (coconut sheet wrapped with fresh mango) and black and white sesame panna cotta. To cut the guilt, both beancurd barley and green bean and seaweed soup are good choices.
As for the West, chocolate fondant with green tea ice cream is simply divine while aussie pavlova (meringue with whipped cream, fresh fruits and passionfruit pulp sauce) beckons when I prefer something light yet tantalizing enough to excite my mega sweet tooth.
Apart from the friendly and efficient staff, it's the chef who makes the journey even sweeter and endearing. Ever jovial and enthusiastic, she never fails to amaze me with her creativity. Though we've not tried all her interesting takes on the ubiquitous creme brulee, the blueberry version has spurred us to embrace flavors other than the traditional one.
Expectantly, this bright and cheery cafe promises a welcoming vibe no matter when we drop by. Weekdays are excellent for a quiet read while weekends are bursts of vibrancy as couples, friends and families bond over some luscious treats.
Well, our journey may have ended, having tried all the desserts sans the snow ice and drinks, but now we're ready to take a trip down memory lane, as some treasures are worth revisiting time and again.
