Dessert 🧁

Yes, you didn’t read that wrong. The Tomato Strawberry Sorbet is just one of the multiple exotic flavors that gelato cafe Bread & Buttery carry. Despite my strong distaste for strawberry flavored desserts, a single taste of this odd pairing compelled me to choose it instantly. Rather than a revolting artificial medicinal taste, there was a refreshing burst of fruitiness, followed by a tangy, tomato-y finish 🍅

Birds of Paradise’s line-up never fails to impress us. This time, we tried their Basil, Rose & Lychee Sorbet and Sea Salt Hojicha.
-
Basil 🌿 : The basil tastes exactly like a basil leaf. Earthy, aromatic. Most importantly, genuine.
-
Rose & Lychee Sorbet 🥀 : The floral notes acted as a good counterbalance to the sharp tang and freshness of the lychee sorbet.
-
Sea Salt Houjicha 🍵 : The houjicha flavor could definitely be more intense. But the bigger problem is the lack of saltiness.

A new, and rather promising gelato shop has popped up in the vibrant streets of New Bridge Road 🦋

$4.9 for single scoop, $8 for double. BUT... from now till 24th Jan, enjoy 50% of the total bill as they celebrate their grand opening. We tried a number of flavors (thank u samples) and here are our favorites.
-
The Pistachio, with its deep nutty flavor. Not the strongest aroma, but definitely the creamiest we have tried. Paired it with the Burnt Butter Sage which has a rich buttery mouthfeel, counterbalanced by the freshness of the sage. Personally, I’m more of a cup>come person but their handmade cones were simply irresistible. Incorporating pepper into their crispy cones, which burns through the decadence of the gelato 🍦
-
Other flavors worth trying are their Hazelnut and Matcha 🥳

Definitely one of the more expensive cakes I’ve had, with an average of $10 per slice. The Tiramisu was rich and had deep flavors from the rum and cocoa, but was slightly to wet for my liking. It had more of a mousse than cake texture. We also had the Yuki Raspberry Cake which had a fluffy and light texture, with bright, fruity notes.
