Five and Dime popped up one evening as I was nursing a dessert craving - I suppose having one perpetually does not make it a "craving" anymore. Located along River Valley Road, this black white shophouse is hard to miss, not when it is always packed regardless when.Lemon White Chocolate Cheesecake ($8)Recommended over carrot cake, this thick slice sported a simple baked lemon slice on top.

Lemon White Chocolate Cheesecake ($8)
Recommended over carrot cake, this thick slice sported a simple baked lemon slice on top. Fluffy like a Japanese cheesecake and citrusy like a lemon drop. It is incredible how lemon and cheese go so well together. Hardly any of the cloyingness that a rich cheesecake has, this was as delightful a tea item as a dessert.
Truffs Earl Grey Chocolate Tart ($13)
Attempt this only if the dessert compartment is empty or if you are an absolute chocolate fan. I have been dying to try Truffs for the longest time now so it is a surprise find to have them stocked here! Buttery smooth chocolate summed this tart up, no sign of pastry except for the equally delish crumble on top. It does get too much at some point but no chocolate is enough for a diehard.
Iced Coffee ($5)
Not so much a coffee place, for the caffeine fix yes but not to silence any cravings.
Five and Dime is cosy and quaint. While I would recommend it for a first date, perhaps just a dessert date.
