Mashmallow Tree is a cafe situated below a HDB block, conveniently located just across the road from Telok Blangah MRT. It's really much smaller than I thought. Overall, a nice cozy place with a vintage touch. I wanted to come here for dinner, only to realise that they only serve desserts and cakes. Well, who say we cant have dessert first followed by dinner? =p Waffles with ice-cream, which also came with mashmallow pop (toasted mashmallow)

Whenever I go for a barbecue session, mashmallow is a must buy item! I love to toast my mashmallow such that it becomes crispy golden on the outside and soft & sticky inside. Many times the mashmallow will melt inside before the outside get toasted enough to achieve the golden brown skin. Not easy to make and so it's pretty exciting for me to know there's a cafe that sell "ready to eat" toasted mashmallow. But hor, I think here, the mash mallow were not toasted enough for my liking. Waffles were pretty norm too. Smores

The name attracted me and so I made an other for it.Essentially, this was just toasted mashmallow sandwiched between 2 pieces of biscuits, topped with whipped cream and colourful sprinkles. A very simple "dish" that can be DIY yourself easily. Not really worth it, if you ask me for my opinion. Somemore, the biscuits a bit "la hong". =(

I lost my receipt and couldnt comment much on the pricing. Overall, dessert here was just too normal for me to revisit. Ok, where is the next dessert place to try?? =p

Our first time here, so we ordered 1 savory pancake and 1 sweet one. Chicken A La King - $13

Chunky chicken with sweet onions cooked to perfection and topped with cream sauce.

Definitely Fit for a King.

What a funny name.

The chicken breast was really nice, although a tad tough. I particularly adored the cream sauce that complemented the chicken as well as the pancakes!As you can tell from the pictures, the chicken breast wasnt enough to go with 3 pancakes. Dun fret, we were given maple sauce as well as butter (choose from salted, unsalted, garlic + herb, rum + raisin). Tiramisu ($12)

Kahlua infused mascarphone cheese on chocolate pancake with vanilla ice cream. Again, a 3 thick and fluffy pancake stack!

Dunno about the other sweet pancake, but I thought Tiramisu was a tad boring. The chocolate pancakes tasted really passable, and mascarpone cheese was too little! I thought tiramisu should have layers of cheese in between the chocolate pancake to give that flavourful texture. 

Anyway, we saw other diners ordering the garlic buttered prawn savoury pancake and we thought it smelt so good..... and yup, we returned the next day for lunch!Garlic Buttered Prawn ($14)

Medium stack served with garlic buttered prawn generously with garlic and cherry tomato saladThe garlic sauce was really a killer. I never like soggy pancakes or waffles, but the garlic sauce was different. I literally soaked my pancake with it, wishing we were given more sauce. =p

But hor, because the sauce was very rich and aromatic, please do not attempt to eat it on your own. First, you will smell of garlic and probably wont be too nice if you intend to kiss your bf/gf later. Second, it was a bit too jer-lat. No wonder, we were given a choice to downsize from 3 to 2 pancakes (comes with a $1 deduction).

If you dont like any of the creations in the menu, you can also create your own personal style from the pancake stack, butter to the side orders. =)

French Toast - $12

Have a sweet tooth in the morning? Then you should order the French Toast. Keke

Even though there was only 1 slice of toast, the portion was decent, coupled with a huge sausage. Simple yet satisfying.

Mains: Crispy Fish Burger - $12

There are quite a number of burger variety on the menu but so far, we had only tried the fish burger. I like that the fish was very crispy with little batter. Mentaiko Fries - $9

This was my must-order appetizer every time I go to Grub. The sauce was really addictive, fries never taste the same with the sauce. Highly recommended, goes well with beer and friends! ^_^

English Hi Tea!


At S$15++, each headcount can order 1 sweet item and 1 savoury item plus a beverage (coffee/tea/soft drink/juice). Since there was 3 of us, we get to try out 3 different type of savouries and sweets each.

SavoriesCheese & Egg Mayonnaise Finger Sandwich with Salad Prime Rib Yorkshire Roll Up Bruchetta topped with Roasted Chicken with Tomato Salsa Sauce

We ordered these three as they appeared to be the more filling type amongst the choices available. My favourite is the prime rib yorkshire roll up, which is beef tiny cubes in egg wrap.

Sweets

Strawberry English TrifleBrown Bread Pudding with Haagen Dazs Ice Cream Sweet of the Day: Chocolate Mousse

Pretty decent desserts!

Finally, the long awaited wedding anniversary lunch celebration! We had been postponing it as there was always something on on Sunday, and this 8 course set menu is only available on Sunday. Hey, at least we still "made it" within the month of June. =p

The restaurant is decorated in such a manner that keeps reminding you of its name Forest. Brown wooden pillars ( probably laminated) that branch out to the high ceiling, leaves featured wall, flowers, even the staff are donned in brown suit. My notti hubby suggested that the staff should wear a green cap so that they will look like walking trees. =_="

The 8 course lunch comprises of 13 dishes all together, and will take about 2 hours to finish the whole course. So do consider the timing when planning your schedule! Dont rush through the lunch and waste such a nice atmosphere!1) Soup of the Day

Soup of the day is winter melon soup. Can really smell the aroma of the soup from far. Taste wise, I was expecting sweeter since it smelt so nice. Nonetheless, a tasty soup to warm the stomach and we were so ready for the delicacies! Bring it on!2) Tuna Tartar marinated with Mango served in Cone

3) Baby Abalone in Thai StyleThe abalone was slightly spicy, just enough to tease the tongue, complemented with a sour/sweet /spicy green apple salad. Even my silly hubby who doesnt like to eat abalone, said this dish was good. 4) Pan seared Hokkaido Scallop in Black Bean Sauce

5) Vietnamese Roll with Sliced Lobster in XO Chili Sauce

Obviously, the scallop being so huge already won the hearts. Yet I liked that it was treated in a very typical Chinese style with black bean sauce and fried shallots ( I think) even though the presentation said a different thing. I expected the sauce to be on the salty side just like the normal black bean sauce, but somehow this was just nice and I polished the sauce clean with the big fat scallop. Yum!Again, the sauce accompanying the tasting portion adds a lot of points to the dish. I thought it tasted like Japanese sesame sauce. A pity that the lobster slice was a tab too little to really taste the natural sweetness, so that's why the sauce played a vital role. 6) Steamed Egg Chawanmushi with Crab Meat

Hey, I luv chunky crab meat that I don't have to shell myself. Hehe 7) Deep Fried Prawn with Crispy CerealA ball of springy prawn coated in fresh crispy cereal. Fresh because I really dont taste any symptom of oil, yet it was so crispy!

Tip of the day: Dun waste the cereal, eat it with the chawanmushi too! 8) Steamed Cod Fillet with Yunnan Ham and minced Ginger in Lotus Leaf

By now, we were almost full. The servings here really were really decent even though they are suppose to be tasting portions. I like that they never cut corners! It was okay, we can tahan and will definitely finish this course. *affirmation nod* So now, we were finally at the main course.

The cod fish was very smooth and literally just fell apart with a stroke from the fork, no knife needed! Since I have a shorter body, which means my nose is nearer to the plate, I can smell a very strong lotus leaf. I dunno why, but I thought that there was a tiny weeny bitter aftertaste, which I reckon was due to the lotus leaf. Overall, it was still a very delightful dish. 9) Wok Fried Beef Cubes accompanied with Pan-seared Foie Gras

Bet you cant tell, but there were foie gras cubes "hidden" amongst the beef tenderloin cubes. Now I'm the silly one, I just threw all the foie gras to hubby's plate. Me DUN LIKE foie gras.

The beef was pale compared to the other dishes, the meat was slighly tough but I still liked the wok fried fragrant. And dont forget to eat the crispy nest! 10) Braised Japanese Ramen with Crab Meat

11) Wok Fried Jap Pearl Rice with Smoke Duck and SausageThe noodles tasted like chinese mee suan rather than ramen, smooth and silky but also like very 凊淡. Nonetheless, the chunky crab meat and tasty broth made up all!Our stomach were protesting but still, we had to finish this coz it was so tasty! The Japanese pearl rice were fried until the texture seemed like glutinous rice with little bites of smoke duck and sausage here and there. 12) Mango with Pomelo

13) Pandan Cake with Crumbles

Thank goodness, desserts were light hearted instead of pulut hitam or durian cheesecake. It would have been an agony if those were served.

The pandan cake was very light & fluffy with the added crunch, wished that there were more crumbles though. We ended off with tea!

Not sure whether tea/coffee was included in the set. We saw other customers left without having them, but yet we were not charged with extra cost.

Just for sharing, if you are thinking of coming here, why not sign up with RWS invite, which costs $150 for a year membership. In return, you will get $200 dining vouchers. More worth it right? ^_^
