Hvala (111 Somerset)

We are hardcore fans of hvala and can’t go without visiting a few times a month 😩, we tried their seasonal new apple chestnut cake which really reminds you of Japanese Apple Juices. The first bite might taste unfamiliar but as you take more bites the lightness and semi-soggy-crunchy texture of the apples grow on you. The chestnut cream was delicious as well

The 𝙜𝙤𝙢𝙖 𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚 was devoured in a matter of minutes. We had our first ever bssm cake at hvala and it is truly second to none! 😍 The 𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙣𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 of bssm really shines through in this cake and keeps you going back for seconds. No words can describe it, you have to try it for yourself. ☝🏻
.
While hvala is can be pricey 💸💸 (w/ gst & svc) we find that the quality of their teas and desserts, as well as their ambience, justifies the price tag.🤑 It can get kind of noisy when it’s crowded, so maybe pick an off-peak period to make your visit! ☺️

The star of this dessert was definitely the 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙖 °1 𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤, 🍵🍨 which wasn’t bitter and had a slight umami taste to it! Hvala does their gelato so so well and we’d definitely order the gelato again! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

We queued almost 45 minutes for this but as usual, the food and ambience at hvala always makes the wait worth it. 😙 We decided to grab their 𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙮-𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙖 °1 𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤 ($12.90) 🧇🍨 as well as 𝙜𝙤𝙢𝙖 𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚 ($8.90) 🍰. It was our first time trying their dairy-free waffles (also vegan!) 🌱 and we were excited to see the generous scoop of gelato drizzled with 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙮𝙧𝙪𝙥, 𝙩𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙞 perched on the middle of the waffle. The waffles tasted quite strongly of cinnamon and was sooo crispy when we cut into it! 😮‍💨

usually order the matcha/hojicha items (which are extraordinary), but the black sesame parfait didn't disappoint either! came with a variety of ingredients which provided a spectrum of textures, great for goma enthusiasts

Thick, frothy shot of freshly-whisked hojicha layered onto fresh oat milk. Slightly sweetened by default but I opted for no sugar to savour the richness of the tea.
