Desserts we have tried in 2012

Desserts we have tried in 2012

This is an entry on some of the desserts which we tried but didn't find time to blog about in 2012.


Starting from the most recent is the Cheesecake from Ruth's Chris Steak House. I liked the sour cream layer which paired well with cream cheese. Though I must admit that the mini cheesecake given to the birthday person is actually richer than the original sized one. Nonetheless this is still one of the better cheesecakes in town.


Next is Noel Treasures Cake from Haagen Dazs. This was one of the festive offerings for this year. It is made up of six chocolate balls which contain 2 Haagen Dazs Ice Cream flavours in each of them. Macadamia nut is paired with strawberry cheesecake and the caramel biscuit with chocolate. I believe I need not elaborate further on the ice cream but special mention must be made for the hazelnut praline biscuit at the base. Though sticky, it is crisp and goes very well with the ice-cream. This is also a very creative way of presenting a festive cake as it has 4 flavours with minimal contamination and easy to serve (simply halve the Christmas baubles).


The other memorable cake is the BananaRama from The Line - Shangri La Hotel. This was the cake of the month for October 2012 and the cake which Fen bought for my Birthday. I liked this cake for its strong flavour - rich chocolate mousse as well as sweet banana puree. This was one cake which even my parents asked for a second serving. Though this may be the cake of the month, the Line Shop may allow pre-ordering of the cake as Fen has ever ordered the hotel's Strawberry Vanilla Streusel Cake (needs to be ordered one week in advance) which was no longer sold in the Line Shop. So no harm sending an email to The Line Shop for enquiry.



Throughout the year, we continued to frequent our favourites such as Bakerzin and Canele. Specifically After recruiting former Pastry Chef Christophe Grilo from Hilton Singapore, there was a major change to their array of cakes. Not only the outlook has changed for their signature cakes, there seems to be interesting new creations. The Le Royale has gone through many modifications since we started blogging. Comparing with the previous entry on the Le Royale, there is now a second layer of chocolate mousse and there are improvements to the texture of the mousse.


As for the Triple Chocolate Cheesecake, there is now a layer of chocolate fudge as compare to the previous version. There is also more chocolate which may delight the chocolate fans as oppose to the cheesecake fans.


Last but not least, Fen's favourite cake of the year. Tuxedo cake, ever since her first encounter with the cake, she has minimally made me return to Carlton 4 times last year to curb her cravings. According to her, she adore the moist chocolate cake which is not overly sweet nor cloying. This is one cake she recommends greatly to chocolate cake lover for the rich and moist texture which to a certain extent resembles a good toffee pudding.

Finally Happy New Year to all and I hope 2013 will be a fulfilling one.

Ben & Jerry's - Milk Us A Flavor Name

Ben & Jerry's - Milk Us A Flavor Name

Ben & Jerry's has launched a new flavour and this time round, it came nameless. From 18 July 2011 onwards, Singaporeans get to name this latest flavour via Twitter and before we continue with the details of the naming campaign, here is a short description of what it is.


Vanilla ice-cream packed with generous slabs of chocolate-coated toffee crunch, might be sweet to some but this flavour earns a thumbs-up from Yuan and my family. The toffee crunch resembles to eating caramelized popcorn and as usual, one can expect huge chunks of these in the ice-cream.

Starting from 18 July 2011, this flavour will be available at all Ben & Jerry's scoop shops. At the same time, the naming campaign starts on Twitter.


It is very simple to participate. All you need to do is swing by any Ben and Jerry's Scoop Shop, sample the flavour and tweet a name using the hashtag #benjerryflavor. To qualify for the contest, fans have to first follow the Ben & Jerry's Singapore Twitter page at www.twitter.com/BenJerry_SG. The first 500 tweeters to suggest a name will receive a virtual "cowpon" which entitles them to one scoop of the new flavour at the Ben & Jerry's scoop shop in VivoCity.

Apart from having an ice-cream named after you, a Ben and Jerry's hamper worth $300 (includes a personalised Ben & Jerry's ice-cream scoop) is waiting to be won.

On 29 July, submissions close and the top five suggestions will be chosen. In the interest of de-moo-cracy, these five names are then offered back to the public for a round of voting. Fans can cast their vote by retweeting their chosen entry on Twitter. The voting period ends on 5 August. After a cooling off period of three days, the winning entry will be announced on 8 August and the new flavour will be officially named on 15 August 2011.


As part of the moolet program of Ben and Jerry's, we were invited to the Milk Us a Flavor Name Moolet Gathering. It was nice to catch up with the crew of Unilever and GOODSTUPH. With unlimited supply of ice-cream and moo-licious milkshake, it was very nice of them to prepare lots of topping for us to design our own sundae.


Like little kids, everybody was drawn to the colourful toppings and Yuan decided to be adventurous with the savoury toppings. He topped the new nameless ice-cream with 旺仔小馒头 (Hot-Kid Baby Melt), Prawn Crackers, Twisties, Bacon Bits, Potato Chips, Dried Anchovies and Tomyan Seaweed.

An interesting combination of savoury and sweet.

Surprisingly the bacon bits goes well with the ice-cream as the sweetness makes it tasted similar to Pork Floss; while the neutral tasting 旺仔小馒头 compliments with the sweet creamy base. As for the rest of the toppings, it was disastrous and we concluded Ben and Jerry's ice-cream to be good on its own.


Anyway, we are suppose to share this sundae recipe with our readers and garner votes through our comments section. Though it is something that you may not want to try, we do hope to get some support to get the Ben and Jerry's ice-cream vouchers to share with all of you. So, 請多多指教 and drop us a comment.

Should we win this "Let's milk em sundaes" contest, we will drop you an email to ask for your mailing address and pass you the vouchers. =) So don't forget to leave your email address behind.

Last but not least, many thanks to Jean and Kenneth from Unilever Singapore and Pat, Daphne and Cheryl of GOODSTUPH for the invite and their wonderful company.

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day 12 April 2011

Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day 12 April 2011

Clusterfluff - Peanut Butter Ice Cream with Peanut Buttery Swirls, Marshmallow Swirls and Caramel Cluster Pieces.
The Free Cone Day was held as a show of appreciation to its customers. This year, Ben & Jerry's has decreed that all do-gooders pass on the goodwill the Dyslexia Association of Singapore (DAS)

We were thrilled to hear of this at the Moolets meetup which was attended by fellow bloggers.


Naturally I helped myself to more ice cream. Chocolate fudge brownie with Chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. To be honest, i think i should have paired the brownie with a lighter flavoured ice cream. The overall impact is as good as eating brownie since it is brownie plus chunks of brownie.


Special thanks to the folks at Unilever and to Daphne and Pat from Goodstuph for the invite.


Lastly we also had the opportunity to take photos with the Ben and Jerry's van and the moo girls.

Scoop of Art

Scoop of Art

Situated at the corner of Marine Parade Community Club, one can easily have mistaken this gelato parlour as an art gallery. Opened by Varsha Mulani and Anisa Tyebally, two gelato enthusiast who wanted to let their customers enjoy their gelatos as well as the joy of art and craft.


We were simply amazed by the consistent (smooth) texture for all the flavours we have tried. According to Anisa, Scoop of Art prides using premium ingredients to ensure their quality. With more than 40 flavours experimented, each visit will be rewarding.

Among the flavours we have tried, Yuan enjoyed the Brownies & Butterscotch and Mars Bar & Sea Salt for its strong fragrance of butterscotch and caramel. Unlike the similar variant of what Udders has to offer, the Mars bar bits are alot finer and hence works better with the texture of the gelato.

As for me, I am amazed by how "creamy" and smooth a sorbet can be. Apart from the texture, each mouthful is bursting with flavours and sorbet is no longer defined as icy nor sour. Persian Strawberry is one of the flavours that left us pondering on what has caused a unique aftertaste. Initially, I thought Shan Zha (Hawthorn Fruit) has been added but it is actually a Persian Greek health tonic which Varsha and Anisa love so much that they have decided to convert into a sorbet. According to Anisa, mint, ginger and a secret ingredient have been added to provide such an effect.

The other flavour which both Yuan and I have agreed to be good is the Alfonso mango. Using one of the sweetest mango from India, it is no surprise Yuan has associated this with a good mango mousse for its rich and sweet taste.

Another favourite of mine is the strawberry and cream, a National day special for its nice balance of smoothness and sweetness.


Some other desserts served in the cafe are home-made brownies (on its own, $3.80; with regular gelato, $5.90 and $6.80 when served with premium gelato) that are made of 66% chocolate. Alternatively wild strawberry and apple crumble (served with regular gelato, $5.90) are the other popular choices offered to be served with their gelato.


What makes Scoop of Art different from other ice-cream parlour is the theme this cafe gets to offer. Selling small craft packages, it allows diner to expand their creativity.


Hence, it is no surprise why the kids are so happy when they get to do some hand-on and also to enjoy scoops of gelato.


We were privileged that there was a children party on our day of visit. It is indeed a joy to see these children experimenting with paint art and that their parents are showing guidance and taking photos of them. Indeed a good way to bond families.


A relaxing and cheerful place to enjoy gelato and we would like to thank Ms. Adrianna Garcia, Marketing & PR Manager for the invite to taste the gelato. Of course, the afternoon would not have been more enjoyable without the warm hospitality of Varsha and Anisa.

BLIC Blogger Outing

BLIC Blogger Outing

Ice-cream parlours are making appearance at every part of Singapore. Thus, in order to outshine the rest, it must be something very outstanding. For instance, Häagen-Dazs has been known for its rich and creamy texture while Ben and Jerry for its chunky filling. For homemade ice-cream, there are a few well-known ones such as Island Creamery, U.d.d.e.r.s, Tom's Palette, Ice-cream gallery, etc; each with distinctive flavours and texture.


Making its debut appearance in the heart of Tampines, Ben and Larry decide to share their creations to all the foodies out there. Since the name resembles a particular ice-cream company, they called themselves BLIC aka Ben and Larry Ice Cream. According to Ben (co owner of the store), they chose the location due to rental as well as the lack of good ice cream palours in the east.


Invited by Ben, Harris brought the whole gang down to check out this newly opened ice cream parlour in Tampines.


Here we see the bloggers totally indulged and totally focused on the ice cream. So what did we eventually settled on?


Fen has always been a fan of lychee-flavoured desserts and she made no exception with her choice. So far, her favourite has been the Lychee Martini from Seventh Heaven while the version U.d.d.e.r.s offers was too icy to her liking. Rose and Lychee from Tom's Palette didn't leave much impression as their other flavours are awesome. For Blic's version, Fen actually likes it since the lychee is strong enough and the texture is acceptable. However, I am one that hates mint, thus associate it with the mint sauce that is served in Indian stalls.


I have a liking for rum and raisin and unlike other rum and raisin ice-cream, this one has additional rum-soaked raisins mixed in before serving to provide the additional punch. Overall, the ice cream is slightly on the sweet side with slight tint of rum taste.


The bloggers weren't contented until they tried all the flavours, despite the amount of bowls, we went on.


Larry prepared tiramisu which is presently still at the R&D stage. This isn't really a tiramisu as it replaces the mascarpone layer with their in-house Tiramisu ice-cream. The liquor and ice-cream made it similar to the taste of their rum and raisin except with the addition of cocoa powder. To Fen, since these tiramisu weren't kept overnight, the sponge fingers were pretty dry and rough. Moreover, the goodness of a tiramisu weren't felt due to the absence of the mascarpone layer, closer to a mudpie (IOHO).

Overall, the texture of the ice-cream varies depending on the flavour and special mention to the Baileys, Double Chocolate and Green Tea since the texture were not compromised and its flavour is strong enough to appeal. However, there are some flavours such as the Vanilla Bean and Bird Nest with Almond are icy and coarse. Well, Blic is trying to improve their ice-cream and are experimenting different waffle recipes. Give them some time, enthusiasm and passion often bring a cafe to a different level.


Before signing off, we would like to thank Ben and Larry for their invite to this ice cream tasting season as well as our organiser, Harris.

Once Upon A Milkshake

Once Upon A Milkshake

Located in the colonial building along the bustling streets of Tanjong Pagar, this place provides a casual and light-hearted place for the sweet tooths to gather.


The niche of this place, not just lies in the beverages and bites served but also the decor the owner has put up. Using purple and white as the theme, this place does emit a magical and whimsical feel. It is no surprise this place is booked for birthdays and even wedding proposal.



Alright setting aside the ambience, now the highlights. Apparently the formula to OUAM's good shakes lies in them being hand-churned with an optimized composition of in-house ice cream and low-fat milk.

Frankly speaking, all their flavours sound tempting and I am glad that they have it in 2 sizes (mini @ $3.30 and regular @ $5.50). Settling with 3 minis, we have decided with
- Agent Strawberry (100% fresh strawberries)
- Nutty Peanut Butler (Smooth & creamy peanut butter with crunchy peanuts)
- Sir Cookies & cream (Rich vanilla with good old Oreo cookies)

The uniqueness of each flavour is the topping which adds the additional crunch. For Agent Strawberry, fresh strawberries are added giving a sourish yet refreshing taste. Peanut Butler generally tasted like vanilla milk shake with the slight hint of peanut butter taste and of course crunchy peanuts. Sir Cookies and Cream on the other hand has a distinctive strong vanilla base with a nice after crunch of Oreo bits.


A mini cup of chocolate chip cookies is available @ $2.50 and what we liked about the cookies is the home-baked taste, not-too-sweet. While Fen felt that it was addictive, Yuan felt that it crumbles easily and the chips were not generous enough.


Anyway, if you are wondering where is Maxwell Chambers, this former goods and customs building is located between Tanjong Pagar MRT station and Red Dot Design Museum. The distinct colonial building is not easily missed if one comes out from the right exit.


P.S. We dropped by OUAM yesterday and tried their Chocolate Truffle Castle (Chocolate with truffle bits) and Cerious Maple (Maple syrup with crunchy maple cereals).

Chocolate Truffle Castle initially tasted ordinary but subsequent slurps made us realize its rich chocolate content, giving a slight heaty feeling. Fen did mention about the slight powdery aftertaste, thereby preferring Awfully Chocolate's/Tom's chocolate ice-cream.

As some has pointed out, Cerious Maple is alittle sweet but as one drinks further, the fragrance of maple syrup becomes more prominent and shares the same effect of Movenpick's Maple Walnut.

Also, Agent Strawberry continues to steal the show as I bought some minis home. Did I mention that my sister feels that one mini is not enough for her and that my dad prefers more strawberries in the milkshake but all of them gives its rich texture a thumbs up.

Tom's Palette

Tom's Palette

Local ice-cream parlours have been making their appearance to introduce the next wave of ice-cream flavours and Tom's Palette makes no exception, delighting almost everybody who has dropped by their humble ice-cream outlet.

Opened since October 2005, Tom's Palette introduces ice-cream with a different approach, using basic ingredients such as cream, milk, sugar and eggs without stabilisers and artificial flavouring. The overall effect is smooth (despite having less than 10% sugar content) and overpowering with various flavours.

Don't underestimate what is offered at Tom's Palette. Through suggestions, experimentation and surveys, Chronos and Eunice are proud to present 65 flavours (available for sale) and many more of which, some are beyond imagination such as chilli chocolate, wasabi lime and seaweed. In a way, some of these inspirations come from opinions and feedbacks from various walks of life. Check out the amount of post-it messages on their walls.

In short, don't give Tom's Palette a miss when you have a craving for ice-cream. Moreover, they are at such an affordable price.

Many thanks to Eunice and Chronos for sharing their joy, frustrations and inspirations with us. It was indeed an eye-opener for us when they introduce the various flavours they have tried making it, their expectation of how the flavour should turn out, the difficulties faced for each ingredient used and many more. In addition, Chronos told us about his long term wish about incorporating ice-cream with TCM and we wish him all the best in his R&D. Apart from the flavours, they are innovative when it comes to ice-cream cakes design.

Oh did I miss out of their cheese waffles?

Yea, these whole-meal waffles are going to ditch the misconception of whole-meal = rough texture.
_________________________________________________________________

Fen's comments

With a wide selection of ice-cream with varying degree of sweetness, alcohol content and flavours, there is no excuse one will not find the flavour he/she wants. The niche Tom's Palette has is the constant introduction of new flavours and the its customization.

Got to try a few flavours and here are some that leaves a deep impression:-
Chocolate - definitely a must-try, rich and velvetly smooth; sounds boring? Check with Chronos and Eunice what are the surprisingly combination they can customize for you.

"Nameless? alcoholic" (they have not decided a name for this new flavour) is a combination of pear, dates and brandy. Brandy in ice-cream gives a very fragrant after-taste unlike the bitter-aftertaste of rum (rum and raisins) and stout (chocolate stout). Moreover, the use of pear makes it extremely refreshing.

Rosemary & apple - my favourite for its rich apple taste but people who are not used to rosemary will find the spice taste disturbing. The tolerably smooth and naturally sweet ice-cream has appealed to my family pretty well.

Summer berries - a combination of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries, amazingly refreshing without being overly sour. However, daddy felt that the use of 4 berries fail to bring out the goodness of individual fruit so he prefers a pure strawberry ice-cream. On the other hand, this was so well-liked by my mother and sister.

Definitely going back for more and my family are keen to try more of their flavours.
_________________________________________________________________

Yuan's comments

This is really the place for the adventurous. Fancy eating chocolate ice cream with chili or adding rosemary into ice cream? Further their usage of cinnamon and vanilla beans are quite extreme till it becomes a little spicy. Apart from spice, another ingredient which is commonly used in Tom palette’s ice cream is alcohol. Brandy, Stout and Rum. Even my usual favorite, the rum and raisin tasted too strong for my liking.

Anyway, I strongly recommend this place if you like spice, alcohol or have a gut for extreme tastes. However if you are those conventional sort, do give their chocolate ice cream a shot. It has this rich and creamy bitter sweet taste which will curb your chocolate craving.

Black Sesame Gelato & Milk Soft Serve

Black Sesame Gelato & Milk Soft Serve

One of the features in the Michinoku & Hokkaido Fair (9th to 19th Jan 09) is Cream Dowa from Hokkaido. With flavours ranging from green tea, blueberry, milk, etc and that a single scoop will cost $5, double $6.50 and triple $8.

Since I am into soft serve and that Hokkaido milk seems to be famous for its quality, I simply can't give this a miss. By the way, each milk soft serve costs $5 too.


Anyway, Yuan has decided to order a scoop of black sesame ice-cream since that is his favourite flavour when it comes to japanese gelatos.

I think the key feature of the Hokkaido ice cream is this strong milk scent. Texture wise, I guess it is pretty similar to most Japanese Gelatos which you can find in Singapore. The down side is that it melts pretty fast hence it can get messy. As for the black sesame gelatos, the fragrance of the black sesame is distinctively stronger than the Singapore equivalence and to compare with the soft serve, it has a less creamier texture.

We do love the taste of both ice-cream but because the ice-cream melts so fast (the 2 pictures are taken with a 2 minutes interval), we end up in quite a pathetic state and a terrible brain freeze while trying to eat it as fast as we can.

Crepe-y Tarte Tatin from Canelé

Crepe-y Tarte Tatin from Canelé

It is rare that Yuan and I will stop at one dessert so the other item we have ordered is their crêpes and frankly speaking, I took quite a fair bit of time to decide which flavour I want.

First, I don't want another chocolate dessert as it would be just too rich for me to stomach and second, I was worried about extreme sourishness caused by either strawberries, passionfruit or cherries. In the end, I have settled with the Tarte Tatin which its name refers to an upside-down apple tart in which the apples are caramelized in butter and sugar before the tart is baked.

Tarte Tatin
Flambéed caramelized apple with toffee, crème chantilly and caramelized filo pastry.
$12.50++ per serving

P.S. Alvinology managed to capture the process of making sweet crepe, Nougatine while Never Trust a Scrawny Foodie has the photos of sweet crepes , Nougatine, Mont Blanc, Tarte Tatin and Chic Choc.
___________________________________________________________________

Fen's comments

I like the texture of this thin pancake made from flour, eggs, milk, butter and salt but when eaten on its own, it can be pretty plain and blend. What came with it was a nice scoop of Vanilla ice-cream which has a strong Vanilla pod fragrance. Though it is nice, but it was no way where Haagan Dazs and the Line.

The caramelized apple has a bitter after-taste which makes me ponder whether they were burnt and thus I didn't enjoy the bitterish sour taste. As for the caramelized filo pastry, it was nice and crisp with a good tint of caramelized, sugary exterior.

As what I always comment about Canelé's dessert, it is always good at the first bite but gets to cloying towards the end. As usual, the excess calories always go to Yuan...

Damn, I regret not ordering their macarons... ___________________________________________________________________

Yuan's comments

This crepe is really not worth the price. It totally lack the fragrance and simply taste like flour with egg and sugar. No flavouring at all. The toppings did not make the crepe any better, the caramelized apple tasted like burnt apple.

Baskin Robbins

Baskin Robbins

I have been eyeing at this ice-cream parlour when I first saw it at Johor Bahru but due to a full stomach, Yuan promise me that I will have it on my next visit to Malaysia. With so many branches across Malaysia, there is no way I will miss out this place.

When the staff at Baskin Robbins are making the waffle cones, the smell produced is so heavenly addictive that it simply attracts me to make an order. Thus, from my supposed chocolate cake order, it became a waffle sundae. Apparently, if one pick the waffle bowl, 2 scoops of ice-cream is a must...

Quite surprised that the branches in Singapore didn't survive despite it being a global chain of ice cream parlors founded by Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins in 1945 in Glendale, California. Long history, huh? Another interesting thing is its "31 flavors" slogan. Wow!!!

Browsing through the lovely colours of their ice-cream, my eyes set on their "no sugar" selection. Trying to find more excuses to eat more and since I have intention to order a slice of chocolate cake, I eliminated all the chocolate selections and decided on the peach crumble (from the "no sugar" selection) and macademia nut... A RM16.80 waffle sundae entitles a wet and a dry topping so chocolate fudge with bananas sound good.

_________________________________________________________________

Fen's comments

The macademia nut ice-cream is filled with lots of nuts, much more generous than Hagan Dazs but in terms of its vanilla base, it is not as nice and smooth as the latter. Moreover, Hagan Dazs has a unique vanilla fragrance which till now I thought only the Line from Shangri-La Singapore is comparable.

Its peach crumble is very refreshing and it tasted like sorbet with some cream content. But what is nice about the entire sundae is the waffle basket that comes with it. The waffle is fresh, sugary-crispy with the right thickness with a tint of fragrance that shows resemble to Marks and Spencer Viennese Biscuits.
_________________________________________________________________

Yuan's comments

The Macademia ice cream is kind of sweet but has this rich vanilla smell. The Peach crumble is refreshing and is kind of like a sorbet. Overall the ice cream is quite nice but I guess the star is really the waffle. As Fen pointed out, it tasted identical to the Marks and Spencer Viennese Biscuit.
