http://sparklette.net/food/3-inch-sin/ http://sparklette.net/food/3-inch-sin/#comments Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:05:25 +0000 Jasper Aston Lim http://sparklette.net/?p=1317 The popular 3 Inch Sin, known by foodies for serving up one of the best molten lava cakes in Singapore, now makes its chocolatey goodness accessible to patrons with an outlet at Millenia Walk.

While the boxy dessert café does not sport a huge dining area, it presents a casual, cosy ambiance for chocolate cake aficionados to savour its fun-sized sinful selections over drinks or perhaps a good book. There is also a longer bar table at the back of the café that can accommodate slightly larger groups.

Set up by a brother-sister duo, with training from Le Cordon Bleu and tried and tested recipes, the owners of 3 Inch Sin are not bashful to proclaim that they are still exploring more flavours to incorporate to their already wide selection of molten cakes.

Steering away from the conventional, the molten lava cakes here are served simple and straight out of the oven, each in its own 3-inch ramekin — hence the name “3 Inch Sin” — boasting an oozing, molten centre with various fillings.

Molten cakes available in 11 flavours
Original, Bitter Orange, Hazelnut, Peanut Butter, Lemon, Mint, Raspberry, White chocolate, Coffee, Cherries Jubilee and Baileys
Slice: S$6.50 for non-alcoholic / S$7.50 for alcoholic
Box: S$36/42 pieces

Made with high quality 70% cocoa Valrhona chocolate, the cakes are not too sweet with a lingering chocolate aroma that spreads once you dig in.

Peanut butter
S$6.50

I strongly recommend the peanut butter molten cake, which has a rich filling and crunchy chunky bits that add a nice contrast of texture. With a mix of savoury peanuts with bittersweet chocolate, it’s no wonder this is one of the best-sellers.

Those looking for an afternoon pick-me-up should try the lemon molten cake. I am usually not a fan of citrus flavours with chocolate, but I enjoy its refreshing lift against the rich cocoa base.

Hazelnut
S$6.50

Those with a sweet tooth can aim for the hazelnut or white chocolate molten cakes, which are definitely the sweeter flavours from the selection available. For alcohol lovers, the cherries jubilee is the one for you. Served with whole cherries buried inside, its subtle sweetness and alcoholic touch adds another dimension to the molten cake.

Sea salt & caramel ice cream
S$3.50

Available as a simple treat on its own, or a sinful add-on to your molten cake, the ice cream at 3 Inch Sin has been customised to be less sweet without compromising its taste, allowing the flavours of the molten cakes to still shine through.

My personal favourite is the sea salt & caramel ice cream. With a blend of sweetness and saltiness, I can literally have three servings in a go! Seasonal flavours are available as well, so check with the staff.

Besides molten cakes and ice cream, a selection of other desserts is also available.

The Dark Side
$6/slice, $30/6 inches, $50/8 inches

A chocolate tart with a smooth, dark chocolate ganache made purely with Valrhona chocolate, The Dark Side will definitely appeal to those who prefer a more solid dessert compared to the molten cakes. I feel that it is not as chocolatey as the signature molten cakes, but I attribute that to a chocolate overload.

Mogador
S$7/slice, S$42/6 inches, S$60/8 inches

The Mogador, a chocolate cake of dark chocolate mousse and chocolate sponge with a tart raspberry glaze, is creamy and moist. While the glaze is a little too sourish for my liking, this light option deserves a try.

While there is room for improvement, 3 Inch Sin remains an ideal destination for desserts. Armed with good literature or a bunch of friends, this café is a nice place to hang out in if you’re in the area.

http://sparklette.net/food/wave-house-sentosa/ http://sparklette.net/food/wave-house-sentosa/#comments Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:00:20 +0000 Jasper Aston Lim http://sparklette.net/?p=1238 Wave House Sentosa is the latest addition to the Wave House chain, allowing surfing enthusiasts to have fun in the formerly “wave-less” Singapore. Besides pumping up the local sports scene with hi-tech wave-producing installations, Wave House also excites diners with an in-house restaurant.

Located within walking distance from the Sentosa Beach Station, I recommend taking a leisurely stroll from the station to take in the sights and sounds of the beach clubs along the way. A buggy transportation service is also available.

You would find Wave House nicely tucked away in the eastern corner of Sentosa, housed at a standalone building. Upon entering the establishment, the warm lights and earthy colours lend a cosy ambiance to the premises.

Appetisers

Torchon of foie gras & smoked duck breast (sampling portion)
S$18++

While the foie gras served with sweet sugared toast is supposed to be the main attraction of the dish, it is the succulent duck breast pairing with pear vincotto that steals the limelight.

Black pepper sesame crust tuna tataki (sampling portion)
S$13++

Slices of lightly seared tuna tataki coated with a crust of black pepper and sesame, then drizzled with an enhancing fragrant mix of sesame and balsamic vinegar dressing makes this an extremely appetising dish!

Mains

Braised Australian beef cheek (sampling portion)
S$24.50++

Cooked to fork-tender, the braised Australian beef cheek marries well with the fresh mushroom ragout and flavourful gravy. You can also enjoy it with the side of edamame, which adds an extra dimension to both texture and taste.

Blackened fillet of salmon (sampling portion)
S$24.50++

The salmon fillet, seared over high temperatures to seal in flavour conceals a small portion of uncooked fresh meat within. It is not as noteworthy when compared with the other mains. Personally, I enjoy the varied textures the dish provides with a square of deep-fried salmon skin and smooth potato mash.

Pan roasted emperor snapper fillet (sampling portion)
S$26.50++

While the crab hash side and accompanying sausage are not impressive, the snapper fillet is scrumptious; it is delicate and fresh with a natural sweetness highlighted by the crab jus and pickled fennel.

Desserts

Chocolate lava cake
S$10.50++

I have always been a fan of chocolate lava cakes, so I immediately jump at this dessert. The lava cake may be of average size, it is full-bodied and filled with rich and thick chocolate.

Look at how the molten chocolate flows! Even though the thin chilli strips add a nice touch of colour and spiciness, they are a tad hard. The pairing with vanilla ice cream makes the overall dessert a bit too sweet for my liking.

Airy milk chocolate cloud
S$10.50++

The lovely airy milk chocolate cloud dessert is a definite highlight of the evening. It is topped with blended raspberry granite and praline nougatine that adds a crunchy texture to the milk chocolate base. This light and slightly sweet treat is extremely satisfying and a must-order!

With modern interiors, candlelight setting and prompt service, I foresee this quiet, secluded restaurant to become a popular dating spot. Wave House provides an opportunity to escape from our busy concrete jungle. There is also an outdoor beach bar area to kick back and chill after a meal if you have time.

Using only specially-imported Ecuadorian Arriba beans (USDA certified organic and fair trade product) and Whey Low (all-natural patented sweetener with 75 percent lower glycemic index, carbohydrates and calories than sugar), Cacao7 succeeds in creating delicious chocolaty treats with reduced calorie counts and are friendly for dieters and diabetics.

Iced-box brownie
S$3 each

The organic Iced-box brownie is served straight from the freezer — a refreshing change from the usual warm brownie with ice cream. I like that it has a nice chewy texture without being too dry or crumbly.

Organic French truffles
S$3 for 2 pieces

These organic French truffles may be little, they still pack a punch with the rich chocolaty flavour. There is a slight bitterness from the generous coating of pure cacao.

Potent lava scoop cake
S$7 / 5.80 for take-out

The Potent lava scoop cake, served with a dollop of whipped cream, is amazingly smooth and rich. The full roundedness of chocolate comes through, along with hints of nuts. If you are in a hurry, this cake is also available for take-out.

Iced chocolate
S$7

The chilled counterpart of hot chocolate, the iced chocolate is surprisingly light. Enjoy the full flavour of the molten chocolate without the after-taste of artificial sweeteners. A delightful treat for a hot day.

Dino Pals
S$2.50 for a pack

There are small packs of freshly made chocolates on sale daily, suitable as healthful yet indulgent gifts for loved ones or even for yourself. Apart from these cute Dino Pals, look out for the irresistibly adorable Mood Buddies.

Besides showcasing the signature items, the menu also educates customers on the benefits of cacao, including a calorie and carbohydrate count for each dessert — just the thing for the health-conscious.

Forget about artificially-flavoured and overly sweet confections that don’t quite taste like the real thing. Cacao7 presents all-natural, organic chocolates and desserts that are so good, you would not believe that they are low carb!

Although Hippopotamus specialises in beef, they do have a small selection of French classics like escargots, foie gras, bone marrow and other main courses like chicken ($14.90-$16.90), lamb ($18.90), fish ($18.90) and seafood platters (S$13.90-S$15.90).

And thankfully, nothing of hippopotamuses.

The interior setting emits a warm, cosy ambience that makes Hippopotamus an ideal choice for dates, gatherings or simply an after-work chill-out session by the bar.

To escape from the indoor crowd, you can opt for alfresco seating.

Once settled down, you are served complimentary home-made chips. The chips are so crispy and addictive that you would want to get second and third helpings.

Drinks

The selection of drinks includes cocktails (S$6.90), fruit juices (S$3.50), sodas (S$3.30) and alcoholic beverages (S$6.90-S$9.90).

Hippo smoothie
S$6.90++

The Hippo smoothie is a blend of exotic nectar, lime nectar, strawberry, pineapple and banana. It is the only smoothie on the menu so you aren’t exactly spoiled for choices. I would like to see more smoothie concoctions as these would make great accompaniments to the Hippo burgers.

Starters

French onion soup
S$8.90++

A must-try is the French onion soup. Crowned with melted cheese, the soup is extremely satisfying to sip on.

The chef must have kept it simmered for hours with an abundance of onions to achieve the aromatic strong flavour.

Shrimp potato twists
S$4.90 / 8.90 / 12.90 for 2 / 4 / 6 pieces

For starters, the shrimp potato twists is a good choice. The fresh shrimp is wrapped in a crispy potato exterior and teamed with a sweet and spicy dip.

The combination is so appetising it will leave you wanting more!

Steaks

You can pick from any of the 5 sauces — barbecue, Béarnaise, stewed shallot, pepper and Roquefort cheese — for your main course and have it served with 3 side dishes — fries, potato gratin, green beans, baked potato, ratatouille or basmati rice.

Heart of Sirloin
S$79.90++ (serves 2 to 4)

The Heart of Sirloin is presented as a generous cut of beef served with various sauces to suit your palate. While the meat is a tad under seasoned for my liking, it also allows you to taste the meat’s freshness without the overpowering flavour. And that leaves room for pairing the beef with the specially concocted sauces. My top picks are the rich and flavourful Béarnaise and black pepper sauces.

For those who have the stomach for raw meat, by all means go for the tartare (S$17.90), comprising raw minced beef, egg, onions, parsley, chives, capers and tartar sauce. For me, I would prefer it with a little more seasoning. Even though I am not a huge fan of raw beef, I do appreciate the freshness of the beef, which is skilfully prepared.

Hippo cheese burger
S$14.90++

The Hippo cheese burger boasts a moist juicy patty which carnivores would thoroughly enjoy. The thick layer of melted cheddar cheese provides additional flavour and texture.

My choice of sauce for the cheeseburger, the stewed shallot sauce, is fragrant and complements the burger very well.

Among the three sides of crispy golden fries, potato gratin and baked potato, my favourite is the potato gratin. It’s the perfect comfort food that is delectable enough to be eaten as a main dish!

Desserts

For desserts, you don’t get a huge variety to choose from. That being said, the available options are very appealing.

Floating Island
S$6.90++

The Floating Island is a soufflé with vanilla custard sprinkled with almonds and drizzled in caramel sauce. It is so light and fluffy that you would definitely have room for it even if you just had a heavy meal.

Warm chocolate cake
S$10.90++

The warm chocolate cake, a hot favourite amongst lava cake lovers, is topped with a scoop of vanilla. It may not be the best rendition I have had, the cake is nonetheless baked to perfection with a molten gooey chocolaty centre that is pure gratification. The only disappointment is the ice cream, which is too hard to dig into.

Crème brulee
S$8.90++

Among the desserts, my personal pick would be the crème brulee, a classic beauty with silky smooth cream underneath the thin top layer of caramelised brown sugar. Cracking through the torched golden caramel crust is extremely satisfying. No wonder this is one of the lead character’s favourite things to do in the movie Amélie.

By the end of the meal, I am so satisfied that I have to refrain from licking the plate!

For quality steaks at a reasonable price, you should definitely check out Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill to try its premium cuts.

At Oso, you can dive into a range of creatively presented Italian cuisine, from pastas and risottos to seafood and meat dishes.

Spider crab meat with mixed vegetables

You enter Oso through Baretto and head up to the second floor where you are greeted by immaculately dressed waiters. The dining room exudes a classy elegance, courtesy of candlelit tables and use of brown and grey tones in the décor.

An interesting sight: Look out for someone cutting cheeses and cured meats in a little standalone room made of glass!

Bread

The complimentary bread comes in three types: French baguette, thin bread sticks and sun-dried tomato bread, accompanied by olive oil dotted with balsamic vinegar. Don’t get too carried away with the breads though; the antipasti are going to be good.

Starters

Spider crab meat
S$20++

For appetisers, seafood lovers must not miss the excellent spider crab meat. Paired with crunchy mixed vegetables, it arrives in dramatic fashion in a crab shell, sitting within a woven basket. The presentation is certainly memorable, a prelude to the beautiful plating of the dishes to come.

I love how easy it is to eat this thing. No pincers to wrestle with a la chilli crab. The crab meat is conveniently de-shelled so you can enjoy it with maximum pleasure. And what pleasure it is. Sweet, succulent and amazingly fresh, every bite brings on raptures of delight. Totally transporting.

Pan fried foie gras
S$26++

The foie gras arrives on a large white plate kissed by Marsala wine sauce and a smattering of pepper. The lavishly decadent liver is slightly crisp on the surface, velvety on the inside. You get a rather generous slab too!

Mains

Braised veal shank
S$34++

If your preferences run more to meat, the braised veal shank is a good bet. Drenched in a hearty and savoury sauce, the milk-fed veal is so melt-in-your-mouth tender that it falls off the bone easily.

Roasted cod fillet
S$34++

Not all dishes are aces though. The lightly roasted cod fillet in Balsamico sauce is teamed with rosemary potato resting on a thin layer of olive oil. For its price, the portion is minute for an overall forgettable dish.

Dessert

70% hot dark chocolate tart with milk ice cream
S$14++

A perfect closure to an evening at Oso is the sensuous and satisfying dark chocolate tart. Once you break the outer ring of tart shell, molten chocolate oozes out. Fans of lava cake would find this totally familiar. The brush stroke-like embellishment of chocolate sauce on the side adds a very nice touch of detail too.

I hear the tiramisu here is one of the lightest versions out there. If you get to try it, do let me know if it’s that good.

If you are planning to take someone out for an Italian meal, do place OSO Ristorante on your short list. The food is oh, so good, and the service is professional, somewhat formal, but not overbearing. Do make reservations in advance though; this is a hotspot amongst expatriates, and for good reason too.

Located at the Bedok Point shopping mall, KungFu Paradise is a cheery café that offers a kaleidoscope of east meets west cuisines at friendly prices. Some of you may already be familiar with the Paradise Group which has restaurants such as Paradise Dynasty (with the colourful xiao long bao) under its wings. Compared to the other Paradise restaurants, KungFu Paradise is decidedly more casual and hip.

The menu reminds me of Hong Kong cafés like Xin Wang and C.Nai which boast similarly comprehensive and diverse offerings that appeal to both the young and the old.

Night owls would be pleased to know that KungFu Paradise opens past midnight everyday. You can have your pick from the Hong Kong-style classics, Asian delights, western favourites and desserts if you got the munchies at wee hours. (Here’s a hot tip for you guys: From 10pm daily, you get a 20% discount off your food bill and a 50% discount off the pastries.)

With catchy dish names like The Trio Master, Flying Wings and Gripping Grape, you are in kung fu paradise indeed.

Snacks

For a quick bite, you can pick from the toasts and dim sum.

French toast with chicken floss & condensed milk
S$5.80++
Rating:

The French toast is deliciously coated with egg, topped with butter and maple syrup. I recommend the wholesome combination of toast with chicken floss and condensed milk. If you feel the need for even more oomph, throw on more syrup from the accompanying bottle.

Hot tip #2: If you spend $10 or more from 3 to 6pm on weekdays, you can enjoy the French toast and thick toast at just a dollar.

Flying KungFu wings
S$5.80++ for 3
Rating:

Even with its cheesy name, I’m a fan of the Flying KungFu wings. The chicken wings have an appealingly thin and crispy skin that yields to a tender and delightfully juicy core.

Balls on mash
S$9.80++
Rating:

With the large meatballs of minced beef and chicken that are drenched in tomato sauce and coupled with creamy mashed potatoes, the balls on mash can be a meal by itself.

Mains

The western classics section offers baked rice, pasta and grills.

Chicken chop “babe” rice
S$9.80++
Rating:

One of the best-sellers is the chicken chop “babe” rice, a generous serving of chicken chop with tomato sauce over baked rice, topped with mozzarella cheese. No prizes for guessing where the “babe” comes from!

Hot tip #3: As one of the top 10 best-selling items, you can grab the “babe” rice at just $6.80 ($5.80 for students) on weekdays from 11am to 2:30pm (extended to 5pm for students).

Fish & chips
S$9.80++
Rating:

The perennial western favourite fish and chips features a perfectly crisp breading and a moist white-fleshed fish, although the portion is somewhat on the skimpy side.

Flaming crab pasta
S$10.80++
Rating:

When it comes to fusion dishes, I usually keep an open mind. And the Flaming crab pasta does not disappoint. With that extremely spicy but oh-so-succulent and sweet chilli crab sauce, this dish is hot all right.

Desserts

For the sweet tooth, you can pick from the large variety of desserts and smoothies. In particular, I am most fascinated by the shaved iced dessert range. I am used to seeing the regular ice kacang, and it is the first time I am seeing shaved ice presented like this:

Crushing sesame shaved ice dessert
S$6.80++
Rating:

Doesn’t it resemble a volcano, with the chocolate syrup running like hot lava down the sides? These refreshing shaved ice desserts are available in exotic flavours like green tea with Japanese red bean and champagne grape. My pick is Crushing sesame which features black sesame with crushed peanuts and chocolate sauce.

I really dig the fluffy texture of the shaved ice especially when it is paired with the crushed peanuts. It remains frozen for an extraordinarily long time!

Strawberry orange smoothie
Rating:

One smoothie that you may wanna try is the summery strawberry orange, which tastes more berry than orange.

Chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream
S$6.80++
Rating:

As a huge chocolate lava cake lover, I just have to order the KungFu rendition. I’ve learned from bitter experience that this dessert is all too easily mucked up. Thankfully, the one here is benchmark, and at a great price too. Presentation-wise, don’t you just love the extra bit of chocolate dusting in the corner revealing the name of the restaurant? That’s what I call a sweet finale!

KungFu Paradise creates a comfy yet vibrant ambience with red and orange accents and plush armchairs. The multitude of tasty options and inviting atmosphere will keep you coming back for more. Fret not if Bedok Point is too far for you; a little birdie told us that more KungFu outlets would be opening in Singapore really soon. You heard it here first!

Sparklette Giveaway!

By now, your mouth is probably watering at all the yummy dishes. The good news is that we are giving away five S$30 dining vouchers that can be used at KungFu Paradise. Join the giveaway to win one!

I discovered the Beard Papa’s chocolate fondant some years back, marking my foray into the delicious world of chocolate lava cakes. Yes, it has a molten chocolate centre. Don’t you just love the sensation of warm chocolate filling your mouth? Ever since that first taste years ago, the lava cake has remained my most favourite dessert in the world. I’m not even sure why Beard Papa’s fondant has never been featured here before; somehow this fell through the cracks.

Fondant au Chocolat
S$2.80 for 1, S$5.20 for 2
Rating:

On the outside the fondant is moist and soft, dusted with sugar. The centre oozes out that luxurious gooey chocolate. Rather than being overtly sweet, this is pure intense, dark chocolaty goodness all around. Read about how Beard Papa’s make their Fondant au Chocolat. It is truly a labour of love!

You get it at a real bargain, too. Last I checked they were selling it at S$2.80 for one and S$5.20 for two.

Here’s a tip: Buy this home and pop it in the microwave briefly before serving. Have it a la mode with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a glass of raspberry wine. You’re welcome.

What pastries do you normally buy at Beard Papa’s? Are there other places where we can enjoy chocolate lava cakes at a bargain price? The comments form is below. You know what to do!

But let’s face it, when you want good food at affordable prices, the place is nobody’s first choice. Or so I thought.

The Italian restaurant, Borgata Trattoria Osteria, at The Cannery, offers decent food at decent prices. Take your pick from the menu which offers familiar Italian favourites such as pizzas and pastas, as well as a selection of main courses.

Alfresco seating allows for people-watching along the river, or you can sink into the cushy indoor seats, too.

Portobello
S$16++
Rating:

Our choice for the starter is the Portobello which, as an ingredient, never seems to go wrong. Stuffed with vegetables and ladled over with cheese sauce, juices ooze out as you bite into the succulent mushroom. And that’s not even the best part. The sauce is a winner — rich, creamy and delicious with mushroom bits. Oh, Mama Mia!

Borgata
S$22++
Rating:

As for the pizzas, there are classics like the Margherita (tomatoes, mozzarella and basil) and the namesake pizza that comes with a United Colours of Benetton mix of toppings (mozzarella, ham, capsicum, Porcini and Parmesan cheese). The pizza is excellent, with a thin crust so crispy that you will have no problem finishing everything up — all 8 slices of them!

You may wanna go easy on the red chilli pepper flakes though. They are flaming hot! Just a few specks are sufficient to make you wanna reach for that sparkling San Pellegrino. I kid you not!

Fusilli Porcini Gamberi Con Salsa Alla Zucca (sampling portion)
S$20++
Rating:

The fusilli with prawns and Porcini mushroom usually comes in pumpkin sauce, but the chef would be happy to switch it to tomato sauce if you prefer. The sauce is a tad tangy for me, although the sweetness of the plump prawns (neatly sliced along the sides so that the shells come off easily) helps to alleviate the tartness.

Tiramisu and profiterole (sampling portions)
S$9++ for each
Rating:

Do save some room for desserts. What kind of an Italian meal would this be without Tiramisu? The cake here is so light and airy, it practically melts in the mouth!

The profiterole is a delightful pastry puff, with chocolate coating on top and creamy milk chocolate at the centre.

Lava cake
S$9++
Rating:

The chocolate lava cake arrives in dramatic fashion. It is served in a ramekin, one of those porcelain cups used for baking. The staff would pour rum on top of it, then set it on fire. How’s that for a wow factor? Apart from the flaming drinks like Lamborghini and Waterfall, and the seafood platter at the Manhattan Fish Market, can you think of any more flaming drinks and dishes?

Unlike the regular chocolate fondant where only the core is filled with molten chocolate, the entire top half of the cake is gooey chocolate goodness! The portion is really ample, too. Throw in a cappuccino and I’m done!

Not even a bellyful of pork ribs and buffalo wings can keep me from wanting it once the craving kicks in!

It just so happens that we were in the vicinity of Ricciotti Italian Deli & Pastry, a deli that serves home style Italian food and, more importantly, a superb selection of desserts. It’s the perfect place for some sweet delights, with a view of the Singapore river to boot!

Soffiato
S$8.90++
Rating:

Everyday the pastries are freshly baked by the in-house chef. Soffiato is the name of their chocolate lava cake. Sprinkled with icing sugar and decorated with chocolate syrup, the warm cake is served with a scoop of vanilla gelato.

Update: On another trip to Ricciotti, we ordered the Soffiato again. This time round, they served cookies and cream gelato. It seems that the gelato flavour isn’t fixed.

With a long spoon, I push through the thick wall of cake into the moist centre, expecting to unleash a flood of molten dark chocolate. While most of it has been absorbed by the cake, you can still taste most of the warm, rich chocolate. Simply satisfying! We recommend popping by the deli early in the day when the confectionery is fresh out of the oven.

Morbida
S$7.80++
Rating:

Chocolate mousse takes the #2 spot on my dessert chart. It seems that not many places have it, so I’m delighted to see it on Ricciotti’s dessert menu in the form of the Morbida!

This is a chocoholic’s dream come true. Scraping the mound from top to bottom in layers reveals the rich and silky smooth mousse. Yum!

And that’s not even the best part.

Nearing the centre of the sponge cake, that’s when luscious liquid chocolate starts oozing out! Now THAT is a surprise!

There are even little pieces of hard chocolate scattered within the sticky chocolate goo. So you get chocolate in various textures and forms all in one pastry! Wow!

Latte
S$5.80++
Rating:

Of course, we have to wash down all that sinful but oh-so-good chocolate with water and coffee. Mmm… I like the latte. Creamy, velvety and not too milky. Throw in some coffee art and it’d be perfect!

Alternatively, you can have your pick from the well-stocked timber shelves of wines. Doesn’t the colour scheme of dark brown and white enhance the mood of enjoying the chocolate bliss?

Don’t forget you can also buy the desserts as take-outs. Share them with your family! (there’s an outlet at China square, too.)

Addiction cures, however, are not included.

But small oddities like these can be set aside. Most people would prefer dining outdoor anyway, overlooking the shimmering sea! This brings to mind another place — Brotzeit at VivoCity. Waterfront dining sure is getting increasingly common these days! (about time too. We are, after all, surrounded by water!)

Mediterranean Seafood Soup
S$9+++
Rating:

We had soup for starters. The Mediterranean seafood soup, as indicated by the red round icon, is part of the Health Promotion Board’s Healthier Diningprogram. This means that it would be cooked in a healthier way with less oil, salt and sugar. It didn’t taste particularly like a health dish (and I mean that in a good way), and fared much better than the crunchy mix mushroom cream soup.

Pan Roasted Choice Tenderloin with Portabella Mushroom & Pearl Onion Sauce (medium rare)
S$30+++
Rating:

I generally stay off red meat. But somehow, every guy I know loves his steak! (you do too, don’t you?) each time, I would get to try a little bit of it when someone orders.

I found this particular steak extra chewy and not too tender. It reminds me a little of the chewy steak sandwiches they give away free during happy hour at Morton’s Steakhouse. My friend remarked that it was a little raw towards the centre (it was done medium rare) although overall, he still considered it pretty decent.

Baked Lobster & Medley of Seafood in Roasted Fennel Broth
S$32+++
Rating:

As for me, I had been hungering for lobster ever since having that excellent lobster thermidor at the Tanglin club. Out of the three lobster items on the menu, my pick was the baked lobster with a medley of seafood. And by “medley”, they mean mussels, prawns and scallops — two of each — with half a stick of burnt bread thrown in for good measure. It’s not a lot, but that’s what you get at a place like this.

The tomato fennel broth was slurpilicious! I found myself enjoying it very much. The lobster flesh was expectedly lacking in quantity because as far as lobster dishes go, that’s usually the case. The flesh didn’t separate easily from the shell too. But overall, I liked what I had.

As for dessert, no prizes for guessing what we had!

Baked Chocolate with Vanilla Gelati
S$12+++
Rating:

Chocolate lava cake! Haha! It is made from scratch and must be ordered 15 minutes in advance. Anyhow, it was marvellous and well worth the wait. ’nuff said. It made me a happy girl :)

Oh, and before I forget, the service here is friendly and excellent. The waiters are always around but never intrusive. Of course, it helped that there was only a handful of customers on a weekday evening. Yay!

The Edge Bar & Bistro

After dinner, a great place to chill out would be at the rooftop bar, The Edge Bar & Bistro.

Up there, you can sip on a nice cocktail, enjoy the night scenery with the sea breeze gently blowing in your face, and bask in the blue fairy lights on the wooden deck.

Sounds nice? It really is.

I just realised that both restaurant and bar are run by Singapore explorer, the same folks behind the unforgettable Olive Ristorante at Labrador Park. They share these common traits — good food, great lava cake, excellent service and ambience.

]]> http://sparklette.net/food/pier-eleven/feed/ 13 http://sparklette.net/food/tanglin-club-tavern/ http://sparklette.net/food/tanglin-club-tavern/#comments Sun, 07 Oct 2007 08:14:09 +0000 Veron Ang http://sparklette.net/archives/the-tavern-at-the-tanglin-club-the-tavern-of-yummies/ Most of you faithful blog readers already know what my favourite dessert is. It’s either chocolate mousse or the dessert that I most frequently blog about — chocolate lava cake. A friend offered to take me some place nice that serves a wonderful rendition of this dessert.

And boy, did he over-deliver! The “nice” place he had in mind? The prestigious members-only Tanglin Club!

Of the three restaurants at the club, we visited The Tavern, a restaurant designed to resemble a traditional English tavern (hence the name). I love the signboard hanging outside the place. It reminds me very much of the Prancing Pony inn (where Frodo first met Aragorn) in the Lord of the Rings.

Obviously, the restaurant isn’t really an old tavern with a shabby look and a dingy setup. On the contrary, it feels charming and cosy with its vintage English décor, much like the rest of the clubhouse. After all, this is a British club that was founded more than a century ago, back in 1865!

My friend who’s a regular club visitor has already tried every item on the menu. He claims that everything there is good, and recommended the lobster thermidor.

Lobster thermidor baked in the shell
S$37.50
Rating:

Wow! When it comes to shellfish, most of the time you don’t really get to eat that much of its flesh. But in this case, there was really a whole lot of lobster flesh on my plate! I had never had so much lobster to myself before. It made me so happy :)

I could taste the naturally sweet seafood flavour of the lobster that was, fortunately, not masked by the rich pommery mustard sauce and cream sauce. The gruyere cheese melted atop the lobster gave it an extra nice finishing! If that’s not enough to fill the stomach, the lobster was also served with potato, gratin tomato and a stack of greens.

By the way, would someone please recommend a delicious and similar lobster dish elsewhere? I’m hungering for some lobster already!

Beef lasagna
S$16.80

For something more filling, diners can always opt for the beef lasagna, which is good too. Every item on the menu is good, remember?

Apple pie a la Mode
S$5.90
Rating:

Dessert time! That’s what we came for! The apple pie is an excellent choice, especially for those of you who love having some fruit in your dessert. The apple pie here is served a la mode, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Nice!

Sticky fondant chocolate lava
S$8.50
Rating:

For me personally, I prefer desserts that aren’t fruity, and all the better if it’s chocolate! The chocolate lava cake here is served with cute peach balls and a scoop of ice cream. It’s my first time having this dessert with cookies and cream ice cream; most of the time, it would be vanilla. In any case, cookies and cream ice cream pairs perfectly with the chocolate fondant!

Another unusual thing about this particular lava cake is that instead of having hot molten chocolate oozing out of the cake, it is drizzled all over the cake. It works too. Everything I found on the plate was good, from the round hard biscuit to the white chocolate stick to the very moist and very chocolatey cake! Yum!

Over here, there is no service charge despite the top-notch service. In fact, the prices on the menu are extremely reasonable considering the quality of food delivered. It seems that the club’s priority is to allow its members to enjoy the food and facilities rather than being out to make every penny possible. What a wonderful outlook!

• Nice place with good food, for e.g.: graze, Aerin’s or Wild Rocket
• Cheap and good, for e.g.: Gu Zao Ren, Rong Guang BBQ Seafood or Riverside Indonesia BBQ
• Interesting and unique concept, for e.g.: Lagnaa, Eclectic Attic or Sho-U
• So bad that I feel you guys must be warned! For e.g.: Mushroom Pot or Mussel Guys

And in my opinion, the chocolate lava cake at Bistro Délifrance falls under the classification of being “so bad that I feel you guys must be warned”!

Fondant de Chocolat Chaud
S$6.95++
Rating:

First of all, chocolate lava cake or fondant is my most favourite dessert. It should be moist and chocolatey, with a thick and viscous chocolate lava at its core. Something like this one at Bakerzin:

Now compare it with Délifrance’s…

I mean, what the heck is that? It just looks all wrong! In fact, it even looks a little dirty to me.

I wouldn’t have minded the way it looked if it tasted good. But no, the chocolate cake was dry and crumbly, like stale cake! The chocolate lava was rather watered down and tasted a little funky.

Actually, it looked like one of those instant lava cakes that you can find at a supermarket. You know, the kind that you pop into the microwave oven and eat afterwards. Looks like I’m gonna give it a miss from now on.

I’m always on the hunt for good chocolate lava cake. The ones I’ve had so far come from the following places:

- tcc
- The Olive Ristorante
- White Dog Café
- Bakerzin
- Wild Rocket at Mount Emily

My main purpose in going there is to try out the desserts, more specifically, the warm chocolate lava cake. Whether the main courses are any good is of secondary importance to me. But boy, do they impress!

Despite its rather remote location nestled at the top of Mount Emily, there is quite a crowd at this 40-seater restaurant on a Friday evening. That must say a lot about the quality of the food!

Wild Rocket is run by Chef Willin Low, who was previously a lawyer. He loved cooking so much he eventually stopped his practice to open the restaurant at Hangout Hotel, naming it after his favourite salad leaf (not the space missile!).

Even during the evening chow hours when the restaurant is brimming at full capacity (with mostly yuppies and stockbrokers), our orders arrive swiftly.

Crab meat linguini with chilli tomato cream
S$18.80+++
Rating:

Off the pasta menu, I have chosen the crab meat linguini with chilli tomato cream. It is perfect. Not just excellent, but perfect. The cheery bright orange speckled with green simply makes the dish so colourful and inviting!

It’s hard to find the right words to describe the unusual taste. Okay, intriguing, that’s the word! I have never really enjoyed cream-based pasta, but for the first time I am actually loving it! There is just so much flavour and spice in the chilli tomato cream. I slurp down every last bit of the pasta which, by the way, is of an ample portion that would satisfy any full-grown man.

White Wine Sauce Atlantic cod linguini with lime zest
S$19.80+++
Rating:

The other pasta we have ordered is the Atlantic cod linguini cooked in white wine sauce. It is quite spicy and has a very peculiar sourness due to the lime zest. Like the crab meat linguini, it has been cooked to al dente perfection. It sure looks like you can’t go wrong with pasta at Wild Rocket!

Finally, the desserts, the primary reason why Wild Rocket is in my list of “restaurants to check out” in the first place. I have a soft spot for warm chocolate lava cake. Just give me a mound of it and I’ll be as happy as a bouncy 3 year old!

Dark lava chocolate gateau with vanilla ice cream
S$13+++
Rating:

The dark lava chocolate gateau comes with two options. You can have it with either vanilla ice cream or flambé banana. Vanilla ice cream is the way to go (at least for me)!

Dark lava chocolate gateau with flambé banana
S$10+++
Rating:

As for the flambé banana, which we have thought would have an actual flame somewhere, it’s basically just grilled banana. The thin cake layer holds the delectable warm chocolate lava that oozes out as you slice a fork through it. Wow, my entire mouth just filled with saliva!

A cup of black coffee would have gone perfectly with the chocolate cake, putting an end to a very cosy dining experience at Wild Rocket. Even with its slightly posh slant, the restaurant still exudes a sense of homeliness and comfort.

I rarely visit the same restaurant more than once unless it is really, really good. Wild Rocket definitely fits into this category. When it comes to food, service, decor and ambience, Wild Rocket has certainly gotten all of it right — a rarity.

The good things do not end here. Chef Willin has opened a bar next door by the name of Wild Oats. Judging by the standards of Wild Rocket, Wild Oats definitely looks promising! Is anyone intrigued yet?

Also check out burger restaurant, Relish, another endeavor by Chef Willin.

I have been encouraged to go for the desserts too, more specifically their best-selling warm chocolate cake. Mind you, this ain’t just any regular ol’ chocolate cake. This is the kind that takes the chef some time to serve because it has to be prepared and warmed up just precisely, with molten chocolate lava oozing out of its warm gooey nucleus.

Warm Chocolate Cake
S$9.80++
Rating:

I absolutely love what Bakerzin has done with it! In fact, I’ve had many different renditions of this decadent dessert at various places in recent months.

There’s White Dog Café’s chocolate lava cake:

tcc’s dark devotion:

All were pretty good, but Bakerzin’s warm chocolate cake takes the top spot!

It is served at just the right temperature (warm chocolate lava complements the cold vanilla ice cream), the perfect quantity (too much chocolate can get too rich, too little too unsatisfying), and with strawberries and syrup (so that the chocolate doesn’t get too cloying after a while).

I think Bakerzin has made the perfect warm chocolate cake. Does anyone have any other recommendation for this sinful dessert? I’m game to try it!

Dark Devotion
S$9.90++
Rating:

First off, the dark devotion was heavenly. Topped with chocolate ice cream, it was served warm on the outside and cold on the inside. When I pierced the chocolate cake with a fork, warm chocolate lava came oozing out! It was everything a good chocolate dessert should be — rich, heavy, and absolutely satisfying.

The tiny dollops of berry compote at the side helped ensure that the richness of the chocolate didn’t get too cloying after a while. I left the sesame tuille alone though; it was too hard for my liking.

Chocolaty Meteor Delight
S$9.50++
Rating:

I have to admit I ordered the chocolatey meteor delight mostly due to its dreamy sounding name. Ever since I was a little girl, I have had this thing for stars and astronomy. Here, the strawberries and syrup streaks had been arranged prettily to resemble meteors. It was practically art on a plate!

Not only was the dessert pleasing to the eye, the milk chocolate mousse was smooth and creamy too. Thankfully it wasn’t too sweet at the same time.

Overall we were charmed by both desserts. They gave new meaning to the phrase “delicious sin”! I shudder to think of the calorie count though. Oh they also have this bunch of little booklets on every table. I took one home with me, thought it would make a nice mini coffee table book.

It is a tiny square booklet that looks rather fancy, with full colour pages along with photographs, coffee facts and personality profiles. There is even a coffee astrology section! Here’s the profile of a leo coffee drinker:

Trendy Leo is the first to try and learn everything about popular espresso based drinks. Lions have espresso machines at home and are ferocious about perfecting their crema and frothing techniques. Tcc’s gourmet espresso selection like the Azuki Coffee and the Citrus Avalon are a definite hit with the Leos.

Interesting eh?

Other than the great coffee and awesome desserts, the service at tcc is also consistently excellent, a rarity in Singapore. When I visit a café I want to be able to sit down and relax over a cuppa joe. Helpful and well-mannered waitstaff certainly help. Over here, they treat every guest with courtesy and respect whether you’re spending 10 bucks or 100 bucks.

Every tcc café is also artfully designed and unique from one another, with nice ambience and soothing music. Personally I would prefer some place quiet like the branch at Great World City, where the crowd is smaller and makes for a more relaxed experience.
