A very simple cafe that can be easy to miss given that there are popular cafes such as Chock Full of Beans & Chocolate Origin around. Not much ambience nor decoration, just a space with a fridge, counter, some tables and chairs. Great for a no-fuss dessert but nothing more than that. While having our desserts halfway, there were even spiders on the wall and a beetle on the floor. The staff did nothing but looked at us and laughed. I thought that they could've been more professional to at least clear them up, after seeing us freak out by these insects. Strawberry Crepe ($2.50)
Real strawberries, wrapped in fresh cream & a thin crepe. Tastes great, but some may find it a little too creamy, I'm alright with that though.Walnut Carrot Cheesecake ($4.50)
It was more of a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and I found the name a little deceiving, was expecting something more surprising that just a normal carrot cake. It was still good though, moist enough and cream cheese was smooth & fragrant, but there's still room for improvement in my opinion.Iced Chamomile Tea ($3)
The sugar syrup can be requested to be served on the side. Overall, a bad choice of drink, and I'd rather go back home to have my own TWG chamomile tea. Tasteless, without the fragrance of chamomile, & adding a little of the syrup does nothing but makes the drink tastes like sugar water.

EwF has a fast food concept, but a little more than the usual, which is great for a quick but satisfying meal. Perhaps because they're busy, the staff didn't help to clean the tables & there were food stains from most probably the previous customers.Nutella Tart ($9)
A tart of chocolatey goodness, warmed up & accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. I'm not really a big fan of chocolate though. I shared it with a friend, and the portion was just nice for 2. However, I do not really taste the Nutella in this tart, but more of just the usual chocolate. And the vanilla ice-cream was definitely necessary to neutralise the chocolate overdose. However, it's just the usual Nestle kind of ice-cream & I'd prefer if they used vanilla pods to make the ice-cream, which would be even more fragrant. In conclusion, sinfully great for a quick chocolate fix, but won't help much if you're looking for something more.

A scoop of matcha ice-cream ($3.50)
This was my order when I first came here. Thought it tasted quite good, because I'm a matcha lover. But for anyone who doesn't like the taste of green tea, please do not order this, as it can be quite overpowering, especially if you order it with other sweeter flavours like cookies & cream or hazelnut. Gelato Waffle (($7.50)
Don't get me wrong, I didn't take a million photos before getting this shot. This was the one and only shot I got of my gelato waffle. I snapped it once the waiter served it on our table. Their ice-cream melted really quickly on the waffle, & was flowing on the waffle when it was served. Honestly, the waffle was really disappointing, as it tasted of nothing but flour. The texture was similar to that of a bakery waffle, without the crisp. No taste of butter, no taste of pandan like those from the local bakeries in the heartland areas. I think I'll settle for just the ice-cream if I ever come back again.

Overall, I feel that the ice-cream taste great, but perhaps, just give the waffle a miss. Ice-cream melts really quickly & you'll find yourself rushing through, trying to finish it up before you end up drinking the ice-cream instead. Price is reasonable, and ambience is good. Just beside the river, you get to enjoy the lights if you're going at night, great for a catch up with friends. However, service can definitely be improved. The waiters always seem to be pulling a long face, with very little words, giving a hostile feeling at times. But the great thing is that they do not chase you away after you're done with the ice-cream.

SMUX Welfare: Smoulder - Softcore Bakers
Assorted lava cakes for tea is definitely a great choice. Or have them for parties, picnic or even a cheer-me-up for a friend. It's sure to be the talk of the day. However, I find them a tad expensive. $2.80 for a piece, $8.20 for three, & $24 for twelve.

Flavours available are:
Signature Dark Chocolate, Intense Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate Oreo, White Chocolate Raspberry, White Chocolate Matcha, Milk Chocolate Rum & Raisin, White Chocolate Lemon, Milk Chocolate Mocha, White Chocolate PistachioLook at that soft core, flowy lava of white chocolate & matcha. It had a strong matcha taste, yet far from overwhelming. The white chocolate managed to neutralize out the bitterness of matcha, making it suitable for both people who love & (do not) love matcha.

This is great for a quick fix of a molten lava cake craving, but I'd choose a cafe with a great ambience if I really want to enjoy the goodness of a warm lava cake, & perhaps a scoop of ice-cream on the side to go with it.

A few weeks back, we discovered Cafe Iguana, a Mexican pub restaurant at Clarke Quay. The food at Cafe Iguana are pretty expensive, mains range from about $20-30, so we usually just have drinks & sometimes, desserts. They have both indoor & outdoor seats, but they only open majority of the outdoor tables at night, because it can get really hot in the day. The indoor seats are not air-conditioned as well, but there are a few fans to keep it cool.Churros ($12)
Served with chocolate sauce and cinnamon sugar, with a scoop of avocado ice-cream (you can request to change as it's vanilla bean ice-cream by default). The serving was rather small since 3 of us were sharing, but it was really good. Freshly fried churros, and thick, creamy avocado ice-cream. Definitely worth a try.The price they charge for their house margaritas changes with the time of the day. And in my opinion, they've one of the best margaritas around, and the price is definitely great for a jug, which serves about 2.5 cups per person, for 3 pax. And the best thing about their margaritas is the 9 different flavours that they have, hope to try them all one day.
Banana, Blueberry, Kiwi, Lime, Mango, Peach, Pink Guava, Soursop, Strawberry

Prices for House Margaritas at Cafe Iguana:
1200 - 1500: $22
1500 - 1800: $30
1800 - 2000: $39
2000 - 2300: $55
2300 - 0100: $39

They provide free flow of tortilla chips & salsa dips as well, and we got them straight from the fryer, so it tasted really good. We asked for a total of 3 top ups in total.
