Yuan: This tiramisu has the strongest alcohol taste among the 4. Those who like coffee liqueur will enjoy this.
Fen: Among our favourite 4, this one has the thickest layer of mascarpone cheese and the alcohol taste is really strong. In terms of layering, it has the largest number of alternating layers of mascarpone cheese and savoiardi.

This tiramisu has one of the best texture. Even portion of cheese and sponge. Mild coffee liqueur, excellent for those who dislike alcohol.
The lightest mascarpone cheese among the 4 and thus it is good as an after-dinner dessert. The savoiardi is moist enough and faint alcohol after-taste can be felt from this creation.

Generally, the best tiramisu which I have eaten this month. It looks so lovely and the texture is so nice.
This is definitely a favourite when it comes to appearance and taste. It is lovely decorated. Despite it having a slight higher proportion of mascarpone cheese, the savoiardi soaked in alcohol still stands out and one will enjoy every single bite.
Do note that this cake is not available on sliced and the above shown was upon special request. however, if you are considering getting Tiramisu as a whole cake, this is one of our highly recommended one. | Ricciotti Italian Deli & Pastry

Unique appearance. The cheese taste is excellent for those who love mascarpone cheese. However lacks the alcohol taste.
Lovely circular presentation. It has also a thick mascarpone cheese texture like tcc but lacks the alcoholic taste. Nevertheless, the combination is still as good as the rest.

i'd like to suggest the one at the manhattan fish market.
It's really delicious!
I beg to differ. I have also tried the tiramisu from Manhattan fish market (The Central) during my 1 month tiramisu hunt. Distinctively there is a hint of magarine taste in the mascarpone cheese. This isn't what i expect from a tiramisu. Which is also why i didn't publish a review on it.
what about the one from Ristorante de Parma? heard tat it's really gd too.
Heard about Ristorante de Parma but I have not convinced myself enough to go Serangoon Gardens. Maybe the list will get updated once I try it.
Anyway, there is a comprehensive review on this place by Divine Essentials
I think the best tiramisu is from Prego Restaurante.. I tasted it years ago... back in 2005. Really mouth-watering! Kudos! Not sure if the new chef still maintains the same recipe.
Hi there,
I presume you are refering to the Prego Restaurant at Raffles the Plaza?
I did try Prego's Tiramisu while doing this special but it was pretty dry in its texture. Subsequently, my colleague got me Prego's take-away tiramisu which I felt was much better...
Me and my brother been hunting for the 'best' Tiramisu...
Personally, I liked Ristorate de Parma's Tiramisu... However, from memory, it was rather pricy >$10.00...
Next on my list is probably Da Paolo's take-away verson...
Wow, giving me more excuses to drop by Ristorate de Parma's Tiramisu.
Let me know how you find Prego's tiramisu =)
I thought finding a good tiramisu is tricky since there are alcoholic ones and non-alcoholic ones... So even though some are good in terms of texture, our priority in rating a good tiramisu lies in the alcohol content.
Well,
To me, the key is the overall taste and texture of the Tiramisu...
Then it really comes down to personal preference...
Some people like alcoholic version, the stronger the better (like myself)... Personally, I don't understand non-alcoholic ones but that's just me... So with that you have Alcoholic vs Non-Alcoholic
In rarer cases, I know people that cannot take / dislike caffine (like my wife)... In Australia, we ever came across a solid chocolate Tiramisu - which we havn't been able to a decent replacement in Singapore... So then you can further break it down to a rarer varient of Non-Caffine Chocolate Tiramisu...

True, I do heard of people who doesn't like whipping cream in the tiramisu, that is something I am not sensitive to.
The alcohol in the tiramisu kind of distracts me when tasting a tiramisu. Somehow or rather, the texture can be alittle compromised if the alchohol is strong but for non-alcoholic ones, the focus to its texture becomes 100%.
Oh, didn't know that there are chocolate tiramisu. So in this case, they soaked the ladyfinger biscuits in chocolate sauce?
The only rarer variant I have come across is the Matcha tiramisu from Sun with Moon dining, which uses Matcha sponge instead of coffee-soaked sponges.
