Bought by the other half on impulse. Thank you friends for helping to polish this off! Whiskdom cookies are quite irresistible after all!

Loved the mini pecan pies

Creme Brulee with black sesame gelato @ Dolce Tokyo - bugis mall

Peculiar combination but nothing unbearable. The Creme Brulee itself is really good! The torched surgery surface is perfection, like beautiful tinted glass atop the lovely custard layer. The vanilla flavoured custard is luscious and creamy yet neither eggy nor "pudding-y". Could have had it on its own really. The crunchy caramelised top with the soft almost molten interior is a classic genius of a combination

Imo the blueberries, marshmallows and sesame ice cream were more distracting than complimentary. I chose black sesame for its strong toasty flavour as I thought it would counter the creamy taste if the custard so the dish would be too gelad. Turned out that worked too well. Eat eat component alone and they are fab but together, thru kinda neutralised each other out. Losing both the mellow custardy taste and the strong toasty sesame taste. On a side note the black sesame ice cream was rad. Its really true to its flavour! The only complaint is that it's a little too "icy" for a gelato. Would be nice if it was a tad creamier. Appreciated the toasted marshmallows but they could have been given more of a roast so that they are gooey on the inside and not just superficially burnt out the outside 😐

Perhaps vanilla flavoured gelato would still be the best cliché flavour to compliment this dish.

Earl Grey lavender soft serve @ Sunday folk - Holland v.
This cafe, is one well known place considering it's "ulu-ness". Crazily packed with people plus a long long line at that. I'm super sua gu but the electronic queueing system and subsequent operator call that you get informing you avoid the availability of seats is kinda, beyond awesome
Anyways I digress. So this place is well know for it's waffles with soft serve, but unfortunately, the waffle wait time is perpetually 50mins - 1hour. Which is absolutely ridiculous. So we didn't have any and settled with the ice cream.
While it's pretty pricey, this soft serve ice cream really does not disappoint. @bbarneyy, jun and I took a mouthful and were like OMG EARL GREY. SO NICE! The flavour is perfectly concentrated yet sophisticated and well complimented by the fragrant hints (OK maybe more than hints) of lavender. Their ice creams are generously embellished with an assortment of toppings depending on the flavours, so don't need no opt for extra toppings. The almond crunch that comes with this favour is phenomenal. It's sweet, nutty gooey and crunchy all at the same time. ♡☆♡☆ If you thought daily scoops Earl Grey was good, this one tastes even more like Earl Grey. The cone on the other hand was nothing to shout about, fragrant but not crispy enough. In fact I was quite "lao Hong". But whatever, the ice cream makes up for itt

Fair warning though, the flavour really fluctuates from a day to day basis. Consolation, the ice cream is freshly made everyday!
