First birthday gathering on my birthday month! I chose this place for two reasons, one is I haven't try this restaurant before, the other is that we, MOF Citizens, get to enjoy free birthday dessert during our birthday month.

We arrived early, the restaurant was practically empty before 7pm, on a weekday.

 After checking out the menu, we realized that this place is more a coffee and dessert eatery instead of a dinner venue. Main courses selection is rather limited. We ordered one mains and one dessert each and an appetizers platter for sharing.

 Mixed Crostini $18++, consists of 6 toasted bread with tomato concasse and 6 types of toppings (mushroom, unagi, tamagoyaki, shrimp, kani mayo & smoked salmon). This platter turns out to be the best dish of the day. The combination of the crispy toast, diced tomato and the variety of toppings were nicely done and really tasty.

 My Unagi Bento $19++, was pretty good albeit simple looking. The grilled eel was soft and flavorful, the tamagoyaki and pickled seaweed was palatable too.

 My friend's orders, Unagi Omu Curry Rice $18++ and Mushroom Egg Ben $15++. Both dishes were well received in terms of taste, however my friend complained that her unagi portion was too little for her liking.

 The desserts were perhaps the most disappointing items we had to pay for this meal. Despite having an extensive selection, we somehow managed to picked out 3 that were all not nice! We should have gone somewhere else for dessert, sigh.

 Please don't be fooled by their appearances, these desserts were either overly sweet, or hard and chewy, or not very fresh. Plus they are pricey too. And, my member birthday dessert cannot be redeemed here, felt cheated


Well, that sums up our dining experience at Dolce Tokyo. I have mixed feelings with this place and properly wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is looking for good food.

Dolce Tokyo on a Sunday dinner

Dolce Tokyo is located near Uniqlo.. Find Uniqlo, and you will find Dolce Tokyo.. It is run by the more familiar, MOF, Ministry of Food, as an upmarket Japanese-Italian hipster cafe.
When you first walk in you, you will notice the bird cages with pictures of sliced cakes, and as you walk up to the cake display, you will see the huge slices of cakes!!
It's so hard to resist the cakes, especially with them glowing in the display. I tried the Green tea cake with goma sesame. for $11.50++ a slice, it's definitely not wallet friendly, but I enjoyed it sooo much!!!
The sponge is soft, and the black sesame gives it a slight sweetness and the green tea crumbs on the top, adds a crunchy aspect to the cake. I love it soooo much!.. but to fork out $11.50++ for another slice..... I couldn't do it again. So I went on to try a main..
I had the japanese curry with smoked salmon on a hotplate.. it was $14++.. It was sizzling hot.. the curry itself tasted like the normal instant curry cubes that you can buy from NTUC Finest.. Not that fantastic.. I actually felt quite thirsty after that.. MSG..??? Nonetheless, I felt that they were quite generous with the smoked salmon!! YAY!! 5 stars! and there were potatoes, carrots, veggies and baby tomatoes in there. A decent dish to finish the meal.. OOOps. i started with the dessert and ended with a main dish lol.

One more thing.. so we are paying 10% service charge, but when we asked for water to be served. The waitress told us that we had to walk up to the cake display and get the water ourselves.. there were 4 jugs filled with water there.. the water wasn't even cold.. just room temperature...

All day breakfast at dolce tokyo

Situated at a very central area of town, this rather newly opened cafe in a japan theme indeed has attracted me to head down for a try.What I love is that, they serve all day breakfast in a wide variety of choices!

Jap Desserts: Interesting varieties but too Pricey

This place is quite a new establishment in 313 replacing the old restaurant (it was Blue Mountain Cafe I think). There is a separate menu catered especially for desserts.

Ordered a Macha Kakigori ($8) and Abekawa with Gelato ($8). The former was actually Macha-flavoured ice with Vanilla soft serve plus some side toppings. It was nothing extraordinary except for the fact the toppings included awkwardly a few wolfberry and the Chinese snow fungus. On the other hand the latter was quite a let down. The oven-baked Mochi was too hard to be chewy.

Based on this first dining experience, I think I would not come back to this place again. I might as well go St Marc since it is more reasonably-priced with good standards.

Chosen the Essential British @ $18 as it's Dolce Tokyo signature breakfast dish. It's a combination of baked beans, Chorizo Sausages,    Scrambled eggs on mash potatoes drizzled with brown sauce and cheese on toast. Don't be deceived by its small portion, it's actually very filling. It's quite unique and different from the normal breakfast set.

 Situated silently at level 3 of 313, it's right beside lowrys farm. It's a nice place to chill around or discuss stuffs. Playing light music with elegant decorations, it's a cozy area to enjoy Japanese desserts along your meals. Unlike the traditional Jap dining place we are more custom to, Dolce Tokyo belongs to the modern type of restaurant.

Okay, I need to compliment this shop. Although limited seats available for the entire shop, it's worth the wait. I had a huge slice of chocolate cake ( yummy to the max)- $13.50. Its a bit pricey but its huge.... I saw most of the girls are unable to finish it.I also tried their ice cream plate- comes with marshmallows, brownies, bananas, pudding and etc....

and also the strawberry ice pudding thingy. It have gou chi inside- a type of chinese herbs! Yucks

I shared all the desserts with my friends. Its worth the price because of the big portion. Go try it today. Its a romantic dating place too.

 For instance, Dolce Tokyo does different takes on the classic egg ben. But when it comes to smoked salmon vs unagi, it would be unagi anytime. I could not be any more excited to dig into this decadent Unagi Egg Benedict ($20). The teriyaki-style grilled unagi came in substantial portion to match the cheese, poached egg and tangy hollandaise sauce on toasted bread. If you are one who always go for the usual egg ben, why not give this a try? Seems to be only available here

 We settled for the Pork Belly Curry Toji Set ($17), which includes Fried Rice, Miso Soup and a choice of skewer. The Pork Belly Curry Toji came bubbling non-stop with rich cubes of soft, simmered pork belly, which are tasty and satisfying, if not as mouthwatering tender as they should be.

Besides the usual onions, carrots and potatoes, Dolce Tokyo upped the ante by using cherry tomatoes and wolfberries (goji) to sweeten the curry. But luckily, the light-brown roux did not wander off into the sweet track and went very well with the fried rice, which was cleverly elevated in taste by the use of Japanese short grains.

 Served in a bird cage, the signature Matcha Black Sesame Cake ($11.50) is a welcome change to the usual matcha-red bean duo. The matcha flavour does not hit one instantly, but creeps in gradually behind the sweet black sesame paste.

 When it comes to desserts/pastries, Japan produces excellent ones but it is unlikely that one can find a dessert bento there. So the dessert bento at Dolce Tokyo version is quite rare and fits the fickle-minded. Everything was not too sweet but the abekawa (rice mochi) was over-toasted and resembled asteroid rocks.

Desserts are front and center here, but there are plenty of other delicious options, much of which devoted to the Japanese "soul food" Personally, I thought the savoury dishes were more memorable than the sweets. Prices are not eminently affordable but no one will say “no” if you want to treat yourself to a dessert or two.

We were attracted by the Desserts Bento because it is like a combination of different types of desserts from ice cream, cake, panna cotta, soft candies and even glutinous rice balls.The Macha Ice Cream in the bento is nice but the macha taste is not strong enough.

We were attracted by the Desserts Bento because it is like a combination of different types of desserts from ice cream, cake, panna cotta, soft candies and even glutinous rice balls.

The Macha Ice Cream in the bento is nice but the macha taste is not strong enough. For the Panna Cotta, I think both my friend and I don't really fancy that one or maybe it tastes more like a even harden type of beancurd desserts which the milky taste is a little too strong or too much gluten. Beancurd desserts are much better and lighter. The carrot cake is commendable. The smell can be felt with every mouthful but still, it isn't my type of cakes that I like though I don't condemn it. The glutinous rice balls in the bento taste harder on the skin, as compared to the ones in the stone pot.

For the ones in the stone pot, the rice balls tends to be softer in texture because it is soaked in the sweet soup and you actually don't feel the hard texture. I think that differentiate it. I love the white fungus and red dates, accompany with the rice balls. The soup is not exactly very sweet but is great. And white fungus are good for skin so I finish it every bits.

Will come back for their breakfast menu as their main course is lacked of varieties. At least for me.

 Omu rice was indeed flavourful. The pork belly is tender and melts in your mouth though it tasted a whee bit like the can - pork cubes. (Yes! like the yellow can of pork cubes (ba teng) that you can buy from your resident mama shop). Potato salad with sour cream was a nice touch, the octopus and jellyfish appetizer though was nothing that special, though flavourful all the same.

 The dessert was the highlight. No doubts about that. The medium sized cup was packed to the brim with oreo cookie, matcha/vanilla,brownies ice cream, brown sugar and multiple jellies. My partner and i finished every.single.item.

There are still a variety of other food and cakes. The serve their cakes in bird cages. Yep! You heard me right. =) There is also a stone bowl rice that looks great too.

I am definitely coming back for more.
