All hail Singapore’s official KITKAT® cakes! Local cake boutique Bob The Baker Boy has launched a very exciting collaboration with the household favourite chocolate brand with a series of baked goodies made with KITKAT®, and they got everyone in the team salivating. We were all looking forward to the day of the delivery!

And the cakes totally lived up to our expectations. We know we can always trust Bob The Baker Boy. They are a stalwart in customized cakes and over-the-top birthday cakes, and they are also our family’s go-to bakery whenever we need a cake or two for occasions and celebrations.

Actually, we always tell ourselves we don’t need a reason to eat cakes. With this new collaboration with KITKAT®, this mentality is perfect because birthday or not, have a break, have a KITKAT® cake by Bob The Baker Boy!

Bob The Baker Boy’s collaboration with KITKAT® comprises an entire menu of sweet treats made with KITKAT® professional spread. The line-up is a delectable one that includes cakes, tarts, brownies and muffins – there will surely be something for everyone.

Mini Cake made with KITKAT® (S$59.90)

This is the star of the menu. A mini cake is a perfect idea since big parties aren’t allowed now, and the 6-inch cake means we can still indulge in the sweet treat even if it’s just a party for two! Made with Bob The Baker Boy’s signature 55% chocolate sponge, layered with KITKAT® spread, fresh Chantilly made with KITKAT® spread, and complete with KITKAT® bites all over the cake, this is a true treat for all KITKAT® lovers.

It may sound cloyingly sweet, but to begin with, Bob The Baker Boy’s cakes are made with less sugar, so the flavours are actually very palatable and the addition of the KITKAT® spread is really a lovely elevation.

Happiness Bake Box made with KITKAT® (S$28.90)

This little box of treats makes a cute gift! It is like a treasure box of goodies - Uji Matcha Passionfruit Tart, Chocolate Ganache Tart made with KITKAT® spread, Baked Cream Cheese Brownie made with Matcha KITKAT® fingers, Au Naturel Brownie topped with KITKAT® crumble and Moist KITKAT® Chocolate Muffins.

Yes, all for S$28.90! The Chocolate Ganache Tart was our favourite. With a buttery chocolate tart base, this sweet treat is made with KITKAT® wafer spread and filled with premium Chantilly cream, then topped with KITKAT® bites mix-ins. It is like an explosion of sweetness in your mouth first, then the wonderful bittersweet taste of the 55% chocolate will set in and the sweetness is balanced out.

All these KITKAT® keep well in the refrigerator for 2 days, but they are best enjoyed fresh on the day of delivery. This limited menu will be available exclusively on Bob The Baker Boy until mid-January 2022.

If going through WWII means we get to live on sweet potatoes every day, so be it. Okay, not really. But, you get our point- we can’t get enough of this delicious root vegetable, which comes in all kinds of shapes and colours.

Not to mention, they’re actually really healthy as well. Brimming with fibre, antioxidants and Vitamin A, these superfoods are great for your body. But, we’re going to ditch the health talk for now because that’s not what we’re about today.

As their name suggests, sweet potatoes are basically a godsent vegetable for the sweet-toothed. They absolutely thrive in the realm of desserts. So, for all the ‘han tze’ lovers, we’ve rounded up 10 spots in Singapore that turn sweet potatoes into wondrous mouthwatering treats!

BEAST & BUTTERFLIES – SWEET POTATO MONT BLANC

As their name suggests, this restaurant enthroned within M Social Singapore is founded upon the concept of oxymorons. Their interior is dressed in an eclectic outfit, replete with whimsical furnishings and embellishments.

Expect no less from their menu, which features East-meets-West fusion creations. Their Sweet Potato Mont Blanc is a case in point – a collision of Asian flavours with French intricacy. The dainty dessert encloses buttery sponge cake and coconut gelato seated atop a crumbly biscuit base.

All eyes are on their Sweet Purple Potato & Chestnut Roll (S$7.90), one of their more popular pastries. This Swiss cake roll is clogged with smooth cream and soft chestnuts, then topped with ribbons of sweet potato paste.

Housing throngs of Japanese treats and cakes, Châteraisé makes sure that no one who enters leaves empty-handed.

Their Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Souffle Cheesecake is as wondrous as it sounds. An airy matrimony of candied pumpkin and fresh cream, the cake is blanketed in Naruto Kintoki sweet potato cream. Candied Naruto Kintoki sweet potato pieces and chocolate seal the deal.

GUMA GUMA – SWEET POTATO

For those who appreciate sweet potato in its au naturel form, Guma Guma was made for you. This takeaway kiosk at the basement of VivoCity is run by a Korean ahjussi, Mr Hwang, and his wife, Eun Hee.

Their honey sweet potatoes are imported straight from Korea, and are endowed with natural sugars that slowly caramelise as they bake in the oven. Some say it’s just as good or even better than Don Don Don Ki’s famed sweet potatoes.

HVALA – SWEET POTATO CAKE

Whenever we’re feeling a little too wound up about life, Hvala is one of our go-to remedies. This charming teahouse is drenched in serenity and transports us straight to Japan with one sip of their hot brews.

Aside from their tea selection, they have an impressive line-up of desserts. One of them is the Sweet Potato Cake (S$7.80), which sees purple sweet potato-infused sponge cake layered with luscious cream jammed with yellow sweet potato cubes.

JUNE BAKERY – SWEET POTATO MOCHI

One wouldn’t expect much of a crowd at The Plaza, a shady-looking centre a stone’s throw from Bugis — let alone in its basement. But that’s exactly what you’ll find within the perimeters of June Bakery, an old-school family-run bakery.

When it comes to this under-the-radar gem, it’s fastest fingers first. Their Sweet Potato Mochi stuffed with creamy yam paste and rolled in ground peanuts sounds like an absolute dream. And it is, which is why these sell out within an hour or so.

KUEH HO JIAK – SWEET POTATO ONDEH ONDEH

Ang Ku Kueh is traditionally made with glutinous rice flour and colouring. But, Kueh Ho Jiak is turning heads with their gorgeous renditions made with sweet potato-infused skin.

If there was ever an ang ku kueh beauty pageant, Kueh Ho Jiak would win Miss Universe, hands down. You’ll find a wide range of intricately shaped kuehs at this stall, stuffed with varying flavours such as durian, red bean and yam.

They also have sweet potato ondeh ondeh, which promises a burst-in-your-mouth sensation.

WHISKIT BAKERY & CAFE – SWEET POTATO MONT BLANC

With their opulent pastries and cakes at affordable price points, it’s a real mystery why this quiet patisserie isn’t getting way more attention. Run by a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef, Whiskit Bakery & Cafe does some really intriguing desserts.

Besides a handful of mainstays, their dessert menu works on a rotational basis. So, if you see their Sweet Potato Mont Blanc on display that day, you’d better get it. The strings of purple sweet potato paste hide a blueberry-infused filling, making for a strangely harmonious pairing.

We don’t know how they do it, but somehow they manage to combine the sweetness and saltiness of their cookies perfectly, and that keeps us coming back for more.

With numerous gelato joints opening up in Singapore in recent years, it’s safe to say that our country is going through a serious gelato fad. But, nobody’s complaining. In this hot and humid climate, we need a lot more than just chendol and teh bing to deal with the heat.

So, when we heard about a new gelato joint that specialises in botanical flavours, we were down for a visit. Named after the gorgeous butterfly, Monarchs & Milkweed Gelato is a new gelato boutique that specialises in botanical flavours. The concept reminds us of Birds of Paradise.

They churn out fresh gelato daily, every concoction promising utmost creaminess and unthinkable richness.

From the first step in, we were drawn to the minimalistic, laid-back ambience of this cafe. It was dressed in a very clean aesthetic, from its neutral-toned furniture to the light teal brick-patterned wall.

//

Moving on to the gelato, we had a really hard time choosing from the wide range of intriguing flavours. It didn’t help that every single flavour sounded phenomenal. With flavours like Tahitian Vanilla and Rhubarb Milk, we were 100% torn. Thankfully, the servers were super friendly and offered to let us try almost every flavour on display. 

We settled on their Brown Butter Sage and Burnt White Chocolate (S$8/Double Scoop) in their house-made waffle cone (S$1).

We were sold on the first bite.

The Brown Butter Sage had a subdued caramelised profile, undercut by herbaceous tones. It was such an unusual yet stunning combination. The Burnt White Chocolate was just as formidable with its deep smoky flavour that mellowed the usually cloying sweetness of white chocolate.

Of course, not forgetting the waffle cone which was perfectly crispy and fragrant.

//

Because two scoops weren’t enough, we got another serving of Lavender and Chocolate Sorbet in a cup.

The Lavender was wonderfully perfumed with floral notes that weren’t too overpowering. This allowed the luscious milkiness of the gelato to really shine through. The Chocolate Sorbet is a superb dairy-free option for customers with dietary restrictions. Intensely rich and creamy, its deep cocoa profile will linger on your tastebuds long after you’re done.

Monarchs & Milkweed Gelato has certainly left their mark on us. Quality ingredients, warm service and alluring ambience — we’re absolutely sold.

Not to mention, they’re even having an opening promotion — enjoy a whopping 50% off your bill from 18th to 24th January 2020!

Ever felt left out when your group of friends decide to pick the latest and hippest ice-cream café as their new favourite hangout spot? Whether you are watching your diet, or are lactose-intolerant, the temptation can be unbearable when you see your friends happily savouring their mounds of colourful ice-creams.

With many Singaporeans actively swapping their diets and lifestyles to a healthier one, it can be difficult to justify pampering yourself with a scoop. Thankfully, not all ice-creams are made equal: whether you are looking for a lower calorie option, or need to adhere to dietary restrictions, there is no longer a need to abstain from ice-creams this festive season.

To all my fellow sufferers out there, here are 8 cafés where you too can spoil yourself with healthier vegan ice-cream options this festive season!

BEN & JERRY’S

What makes Ben & Jerry’s ice-creams so beloved is the how dense and creamy all their scoops tend to be. By focusing mostly on non-fruit flavours, the ice-cream maintains a smoother and denser texture for a more luxurious finish. With the addition of sizeable pieces of dry sweets for texture, the result is an incredibly decadent treat that is unfortunately not the most forgiving on waist-lines.

Thankfully, there is no longer a need to forgo the chain’s iconic creations. Made with almond milk, the new vegan line of flavours (S$6.00++/scoop) – sans the most luscious of the lot, Coconut Seven Layer Bar – contains on average less calories and sugars than their dairy counterparts. All that without losing that special Ben & Jerry’s finish: the velvety texture, the mesmerising swirls, the rich flavours, and the super-satisfying crunch.

IKEA BISTRO

Over the past year, IKEA has been integrating more sustainable practices into not just their furniture line, and has started including environmentally friendly adjustments to their food as well. While most of the vegan-friendly food options have not yet reached our shores, the one that has is to the delight of all fellow sweet tooths out there: soya ice-cream.

Costing a very affordable S$0.50, the company strove to recreate a healthier alternative to its original soft serve. The current iteration is every bit as delightful as the original, retaining the signature soft airiness at a lower calorie point. After a long day of browsing the brand’s furniture selection, now you too can grab a guilt-free cone (or three) to unwind!

KIND KONES

Located in the middle of town, this cosy café may look unassuming to the passing shopper. However, for those of us with dietary restrictions, this place is heaven-sent. Not only do their ice-creams not have dairy, they are free of refined sugars, preservatives, and additives. Specific gluten and soy-free options are available as well.

Staying true to its motto of “taste the pleasure, not the guilt”, Kind Kones uses a mix of non-dairy milk substitutes and fresh all-natural ingredients to ensure their scoops maintain the necessary flavour at lower calorie, fat, and sugar values.

If you do visit, some must-try options (S$4.90++/scoop) include the matcha-based Blue Planet with a blue pea twist, and the delightful Black Forest mix with hidden bits of brownies between swirls of cherry compote. Unless you are the minuscule part of the population who somehow dislikes ice-cream, Kind Kones is the place to be if you want to hold an all-inclusive dessert gathering at!

KINDRED FOLK

Hidden in the new King Albert Park Mall, it is not by chance the café is perfectly perched to overlook the area’s busy student crowd. The brightly lit space was designed with the neighbourhood’s schooling population in mind: to provide students with a welcoming space to work or play at after class while serving affordable handcrafted food.

Starting at S$3.80 per generous scoop, customers can find everything from classic staples like strawberry, to more unique inventions like wasabi and cereal milk. While most creations do contain dairy, Kindred Folk tries to ensure it keeps at least a couple of its healthy vegan choices available daily.

For a creamier, albeit more indulgent, option, the vegan Sea-Salt Gula Coconut is an intricately flavoured scoop that is indistinguishable from dairy variants. On a sweltering hot day, opt instead for the lighter and more refreshing option of Watermelon Calamansi Sorbet for the ultimate thirst quencher and palate cleanser.

MR BEAN SINGAPORE

A brand that requires little introduction, Mr Bean is Singapore’s largest purveyor of soy-based F&B products, and is dedicated to providing locals with healthy and accessible soy-based items to satiate their cravings with. Given the relative scarcity of soy ice-creams, Mr Bean outlets are one of the easiest ways for Singaporeans to enjoy this low-calorie treat.

At S$1.90 per cone, and S$2.10 per cup, customers can partake in a full-size dollop of Mr Bean’s signature Soy Ice Cream for just over 100 calories – a significant margin below that of traditional dairy-based ice-creams.

For those looking for more exciting flavours, the brand released four exciting vegan and eggless flavours in a collaboration with Udders –  Original Soy, Salted Gula Melaka, Oreo Cookie, and Durian (S$3.80/cup) – at selected outlets. As rich as the flavours may sound, fear not, because even the most caloric of the four contains a conservative 160 calories per serving.

POPBAR

Originally from America, this NYC-based company specialises in gelato in its simplest form – no-frills, and mounted on a stick. What makes the brand stand out is its commitment to quality: their bars are made fresh daily using all-natural ingredients under stringent quality control.

Although their main line of popGelato (S$4.90++/stick) contains dairy, their popSorbettos (S$4.50++/stick) are a hit in the vegan and lactose-intolerant community. By using top quality concentrated fruit juice or puree, the resulting texture is an even smooth mix that is much denser than typical sorbets. Moreover, these bars are a good source of dietary fibre, and are fat and cholesterol-free as well.

With each popSorbetto causing just 70-80 calories worth of damage, feel free to go for a more extravagant twist by adding a generous dusting of poppings (toppings) – we recommend the fresh pistachios and coconut strips – to complete the experience.

SMOOCHT

Fans of vegan ice-cream would probably have heard of Brownice – one of the longer-standing brands that serve 100% vegan ice-creams in Singapore. Rebranded as Smoocht, the team continues the legacy of its iconic r’ice-cream: substituting the higher fat-content of non-dairy milk options in favour of organic crystal brown rice to serve healthy full-fledged vegan ice-creams at a mere 80-160 calorie mark.

Featuring an extensive 18-flavour collection (S$3.50++/scoop), customers will be spoilt for choice. Whether you are looking for a rare vegan alternative to the rich and buttery PB n’ Choc, or prefer to stick to the zesty tang of Passion A Go Go, Smoocht has a flavour to satisfy all whimsies of cravings.

For those looking for a more substantial option, try the brand’s super crispy eggless waffles (S$8.00++) for an added texture crunch. Or if you are looking to be the life of the party, why not enquire about their luxurious selection of ice-cream cakes ($$60.00++)?

ZEBRA DREAM

Far from your typical vegan ice-cream brand, Zebra Dream prides itself in retaining the tantalisingly creamy texture of dairy-based ice-cream that tends to be diluted in vegan alternatives. By pairing coconut milk with quality and fair trade ingredients, the brand provides healthy sustainable indulgence without compromising on taste.

Zebra Dream currently offers seven flavours (S$5.98/tub) in its arsenal, most of which are reinventions of familiar classics: their best-selling Strawberry Baobob mixes a quintessential summer fruit with a hint of tangy from an Australian and African bush food. Regardless of which flavour you gravitate towards, you can be sure of a guilt-free cheat day!

While they do not have a standalone store locally, all flavours of Zebra Dream’s catalogue are available at Little Farm outlets. Thereafter, you can choose to either curl up leisurely with the tubs at home, or bring them to the café and café bar areas for immediate enjoyment.

Stepping in to Sueno—a new ice cream café at 888 Plaza in Admiralty—we were greeted by the aroma of baking waffles and desserts.

If you are looking for a café in the North of Singapore to chill out at with friends to enjoy waffles and ice cream, Sueno is the next place you can go to.

We went for a Single Waffle with Double Scoops (S$11.70), choosing a Red Velvet Base topped with two scoops of ice cream: Chocolate Rocky Road and Speculoos.

The waffles were fluffy and soft, with a crispy exterior and airy middle. It also came drizzled in chocolate fudge and sprinkled with sugar and oreo bits. However, we thought that the red velvet waffle would have been much better if it came with a cream cheese frosting.

The Speculoos was creamy with a rich, cinnamon flavour. It was also laced with earthy, ginger notes.

Chocolate lovers will die for Chocolate Rocky Road; it had bits of marshmallow and nuts, which was a nice textural contrast to the soft gelato. It was also extremely thick and chocolate-y.

For the love of all things sticky, sweet and sinfully irresistible, Malaysia’s smoky, caramel-edged gula Melaka ranks high on our list of desserts worth skipping gym time for. Before the Europeans introduced cane sugar to our part of the world, we relied heavily on palm sugar.

Depending on the quality of the palm, and how it is pressed, different varieties of gula Melaka may exude different flavour profiles. Sourness, smoke, caramel, butterscotch, coffee, or even a combination of those flavours. A complex sweetener with a myriad of nuanced flavours, we just love it in everything.

Here are 15 places in Singapore where you can find gula Melaka desserts worthy enough to make you want to skip gym day.

ALL THINGS DELICIOUS – GULA MELAKA SCONES

Infused and topped with a drizzle of stickily sweet gula melaka, their gula melaka scones is miles better than your average dry, plain scone. The scones themselves are buttery, crumbly yet moist and the palm sugar glaze is a nice touch.

In 2018 alone, there have been multiple instances where we have witnessed Singaporeans’ relentless patience to queue for overseas brands who have made their debuts in Singapore, including famous Korean toast chain Isaac Toast, original cheese tea inventor HEYTEA, and Austrian bakery specialising in devil cheese buns, Guschlbauer.

Keep your eyes peeled and your calendars marked because come late November, famous Hokkaido soft serve shop Naganuma Ice is slated to open in Singapore’s Carlton City Hotel.

Known to be Hokkaido’s most sought-after soft serve brand, the brand specialises in soft serves and gelato and always sees queues of almost an hour long. Distinctively the sole Hokkaido firm certified by the prefecture’s authorities for using raw Hokkaido milk in their ice cream products, their milky goodnesses is quite possibly the best in Naganuma itself.

Photo Credit: choochooho

Founded in 1994, Naganuma Ice prides themselves on using milk that is sourced from ranch cows near Naganuma town before being transported immediately to the brand’s factory for low-temperature pasteurisation, making sure that every cone boasts an intense milky flavour.

Currently, Naganuma Ice has 6 outlets worldwide—3 in Japan and 3 in Taiwan, all of which draws long queues. Diners can expect the very same quality to be produced in Singapore’s outlet as Japan’s outlet as only the same ingredients, such as 100% Hokkaido raw milk, will go into the making of the soft serve.

Photo Credit: yan.sg

Singapore’s outlet will serve 6 soft serve flavours and 12 gelato flavours. Look forward to items such as the signature Rich Milk Soft Serve (S$6)!

Also, be sure to try out to their Singapore-exclusive items, the Black Lover Parfait (S$8.50) which is made of cream, strawberry jam, cookie crumbs, and Asahikawa dark chocolate as well as the Crème Brûlée Rich Milk Soft Serve (S$8), which is Naganuma’s very own twist on the caramelized custard dessert.

Do a quick Google search on chocolates and you will probably find Wimbly Lu either on that list or topping it. Known for their array of chocolate desserts, ice cream and waffles, Wimbly Lu first started off in a quaint neighbourhood of Jalan Riang and now has 2 other outlets in the heartlands of Singapore.

Located just a few doors away from Chye Seng Huat Hardware Coffee, the outlet at Tyrwhitt Road is definitely more accessible as compared to the one at Jalan Riang and the café boasts a cosy decorum that has been remodelled from an old shophouse.

We headed down on a rainy Friday afternoon to seek refuge from the rain as well as to indulge in some sweet treats, to which we were not disappointed.

Once we stepped into the café, our eyes were immediately fixated on the display of lovely chocolates and cakes, which definitely got us drooling then.

Retro lamps, mirrors, and dim lightings lend a casual yet modern charm to the place and we couldn’t wait to try the beautiful desserts that they have.

We got ourselves 2 desserts to share and the first that came up was the Jey’s Nutella Pie (S$6++). Filled with a silky smooth Nutella spread across a soft hazelnut crust, this wonderful dessert slides easily down your fork and every bite you take bursts with rich and creamy Nutella goodness that simply melts in your mouth.

Next came Clare’s Sticky Date Pudding (S$5++), which is essentially a moist sponge cake made with finely chopped dates drenched in a sweet toffee sauce and served warm.

A bite into the soft sponge cake filled with toffee sauce makes you feel as if there is a marriage of flavours happening in your mouth–the sweet toffee sauce complemented the fluffy sponge cake without being too overly decadent.

Dessert is a universal language that everyone speaks. With dessert, there is no discrimination, no boundaries and completely zero biases. Every culture and cuisine has their own take on dessert—afterall, who can resist whenever the sweet tooth comes knockin’?

As most desserts make use of ingredients such as eggs, lard and gelatine, finding a dessert joint to match your diet restriction might not be easy—especially for our Muslim friends. To make life easier, here’s a list of 8 Muslim-Friendly Dessert Joints in Singapore.

BUTTER STUDIO

Butter Studio takes pride in offering homestyle bakes that are made from the finest ingredients they can get their hands on. The homey cafe crafts up interesting creations such as Salted Gula Melaka Cupcake and Milo Speculoos Fudge Cupcake. Do visit them from time to time for seasonal flavours.

Read: The ultimate guide to Halal & Muslim-owned cafes in Singapore.

New to the slew of cafés and restaurants that have been sprouting up all over South Bridge Road is a small artisanal ice gelato café.

Whether it is an ice gelato for a refreshing treat in the middle of the day or an indulgent dessert to end off the night on a sweet note, Dopa Dopa Creamery will likely please you with their selective yet impressive range of ice cream.

Churning out ice cream so incredibly delicious that they were sold out on their first day, here is why you need to pay Dopa Dopa Creamery a visit if you are craving some sweet treats.

They only have 8 flavours on their menu—all of which are curated and made by an Italian chef. The standard flavours (S$3.90/ single scoop) include Apple Ginger Sorbet and Banana while premium flavours (S$4.60/ single scoop) include Home Roasted Pistachio and Green Tea Toasted Rice.

Coffee-lovers can look forward to getting a cuppa to complement the sweetness of their ice-cold desserts!

Rather than having our ice cream in a mainstream cup or cone, we opted to get our scoop of Green Tea Toasted Rice (S$4.60) in a buttery, flaky croissant (S$5.50).

Boasting a thick consistency that gives the gelato a slight chewiness, the Green Tea Toasted Rice flavour is one that any green tea lover must get. Mildly sweet with a hint of bitterness at the end just the way we prefer it to be, we highly recommend to try this flavour.

The Speculoos with Lotus Biscuit (S$4.60/ single scoop) features bits and pieces of crushed caramel biscuits mixed into a creamy and milky base, giving it an extra crunchy texture.

Otherwise, you can opt to get your ice cream in a cone for an additional S$1. Topping off our cone was Hojicha (S$4.60/ single scoop).

You can bet that the distinct smoky, toasty flavour will blow you away upon your first mouthful. Other popular flavours that Dopa Dopa Creamery offers are Hazelnut and Home Roasted Pistachio.
