We could smell the durian mousse ($5) from the first floor. First hint of a good durian mousse. Second hint: When it came, it wasn't overly sweet -- not as much sugar needed to mask the already sweet durian, maybe? Durian flesh could be more generous, but ah well. Good enough!
This has got to be the last stall in Singapore selling this (apart from Pasar Malams, but honestly they were only half as good). The flour was soft and fluffy, while the gula melaka filling just melts. Honestly, words can't do it justice. You've got to try it.
Had their latte, earl grey roll and Okinawa Brown Sugar Roll. Not much a fan of the Okinawa roll but as usual, the Earl Grey Roll doesn't disappoint. Light on the tongue, but the earl grey taste was strong enough. Not too sweet either. Loved it.
The prawns in the laksa ($4) was fresher than most laksa places, but of course the main star was the laksa soup -- the right consistency, with the strong aroma of curry leaves and coconut milk. Not spicy, though, even with the chili sauce, so spice lovers might not find the kick in this. Curry chicken with bread ($4) was thick and creamy, but overshadowed by the laksa. Definitely will come here again if I'm in the area!
The durian cake probably needs no further introduction. It was fluffy and layered with generous servings of REAL durian (none of that 100% food flavoring and cream for me, thank you). The jackfruit cake was also very rare find. Was really apprehensive about trying it but the taste was indescribable. Citrusy, but yet not light on the palette like lemon cakes are. Try it.
The Rosti was finely shredded, with the surfaces charred just nice. Check out the size of the fish too. The fish was very fresh, batter was very crispy but wasn't thick nor oily . ($8.90 if I'm not wrong). This is waaaaaay less than Marche, and you don't even get fish with it.
