Projecting itself to be a laboratory-themed cafe / bistro bar with a fruits-focused-food and drinks menu, Fresh Fruits Lab unfortunately (or fortunately) does not resemble a lab at all. Its chic interior was a beautiful monochromatic sleekness, boosting of clean-cut furnishing . To me, a laboratory is either stark white with glass panels or filled with rows of high, wooden tables with bunsen burners (do students still use these nowadays??

The Mint Mocha (SGD$6.00) was a beautiful concoction that came in a beautiful golden foam tinged with green (of the mint?), and served with 2 pretty little marshmallows on the teaspoon. The mocha had a lovely nutty roast to its thick aroma, complemented smoothly by the cool minty flavour, so it made every mouthful a delight, even after the coffee turned cold.

The Lychee Cake (SGD$6.50) looked so pretty, and it was being served on a "heirloom-style" plate, scoring full marks for presentation. The fork dug in immeidately after the camera finished its "feast". The cake was spongy soft; the thick white layer was like pudding, with a creamy taste to it; other than that, the cake was gentle in flavour and its level of sweetness; so gentle, that other than the lychee sitting atop the cake, one could not detect the aroma of lychee, and the pudding layer was overwhelming IMHO.

Moving on was a happy piece of colourful cake - Rainbow Cake (SGD$7.00). The texture was not as soft as I would have preferred, but the taste was good. There were strong citrusy flavours; and if I am not wrong, berries ones as well, complementing the layers of mascarpone cream marvelously.

Just a stone throw away from Rice & Fries is FFL! I read up about this place online and apparently rated by HGW for pretty good rainbow cakes. Scroll down for my verdict

The opening hours, take note that they're closed on Monday!

We were here for their desserts and here is their cake display. We decided to try their rainbow cake, lychee cake and dessert bouquet which is a chocolate mousse.

1. Rainbow Cake

This rainbow cake was so tiny, it was upsetting to even take a photo of it. It wasn't even sliced straight down, whoever cut this cake, needs to re-learn how to cut a proper slice of cake, especially when charging $7+ per slice! It was very lemony and quite dry, HGW rated this as a good slice of rainbow cake? What nonsense!

2. Lychee Cake

This was FFL's saving grace, we loved this lychee cake so much, we will definitely be back here for more of this and to try out their mains!

The layers of the Lychee cake were awesome, it was light, fluffy and subtly sweet! For the price we paid, I was happy about it.

3. Dessert Bouquet

Dessert Bouquet

The pineapples on this "flower" was so stale and hard, it was pretty much "welded" onto toothpick, the strawberries were okay. The chocolate biscuit crumbs aka the soil, was very hard and there were too much of them!

I was getting impatient and just dug straight into the "ground" to get to the chocolate mousse! The mousse was a bit sweet but still pretty decent. At first, when we tried to dig in, it was a rock hard block of chocolate. As time passed, it became sort of like chocolate ice cream. 10 minutes later, we finally got to taste the actual chocolate mousse.

I will definitely be back to try their da-bomb burger and other mains, as I looked around, I realized that their serving portions were huge! AWESOMNESS!

Sadly though, we sat outside and they took forever to take our order and we had to wave at them forever to get their attention. They didn't serve us water until we asked for it 30 minutes later.. SERIOUSLY, did no waitress realize that we had not ordered drinks and we also weren't served water?

Other Info. : 10% service charge, NO GST
