Caramelised banana walnut bread, vanilla mascarpone cream, kumquat compote and crushed hazelnutsThis requires 20minutes of waiting time but the taste of the bread (more like a light cake) was warm, moist and fresh so I think the wait is reasonable. The bananas were grilled nicely to give a subtle bitter caramelised flavour. The bread itself is choke full of walnuts which some people who dislike nuts may want to avoid but I guess having some walnuts are still beneficial to the brain
warm chocolate pudding, white chocolate sauce(if you can spot), crushed pistachio, orange flower ice creamIt was strange that they served an ice cream on a hot plate even though the chocolate pudding was supposed to be warm. The ice cream melted rapidly. This pudding is the steamed English version of fa kueh so perhaps the menu should have stated whether it is the creamy custard version or a cake version. The white chocolate sauce is also evidently very very little.
Special brunch item of the day: almond orange cake with citrus sherbet and lemongrass panna cotta Another interesting Asian style dessert whose individual components are well balanced. Sour food lovers will certainly like the tangy sherbet.
Their newly opened shop at Raffles Hotel seemed to have a different menu, more towards the Asian fusion style and we look forward to try the food there next time.
