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!

Peanut butter. Fitness junkies consider it a superfood high in healthy fats, never failing to include it in their protein shakes, smoothies and morning toast while others—like us—appreciate it for its sinful appeal. Adding it into a dessert or even a dish provides a heightened butteriness accented with a nutty flavour that is just pure bliss.

As a flavour of ice cream, on pancakes, layered into a decadent chocolate cake or even slapped on a savoury beef burger, here is our list of peanut butter-laden dishes in Singapore loaded with nutty, buttery goodness. You’ll fall in love #3 in a heartbeat.

CREAMIER – PEANUT BUTTER JELLY ICE CREAM

FAT BOYS – THE ELVIS

If you’re wondering why the association with rock ’n roll legend, Elvis Presley, well, it’s because the man absolutely loved the stuff. Peanut butter and bacon was his guilty pleasure and a testament to his love for it, the burger comes loaded with a bacon stuffed pork patty, grilled bananas and creamy peanut butter. After your first bite, we guarantee you’ll be “all shook up”.

TWO MEN BAGEL HOUSE – PBJ

Bagels are a New Yorkers staple and while they look like a doughnut, they really aren’t as greasy, let alone heart attack-inducing. They are baked instead of fried and are much denser. The common combination is to eat it with cream cheese, capers, dill and smoked salmon but here at Two Men Bagel House, they do it in numerous ways—some even too crazy to imagine. We love their PBJ, a bagel loaded with creamy peanut butter and sweet, tangy jelly.

To say no to something as decadent and as addictive as Nutella would be almost deemed a crime—in our books anyway.

Whether you choose to have it spread over toast in the morning, in a milkshake to pair with your burger or simply on its own using nought but the tip of your fingers, Nutella is something we all love. Singaporeans are huge fans of the stuff, and it’s evident in the number of ways it’s applied in desserts.

In need of some of a sinful treat laced with chocolatey, hazelnut goodness? Here is our list of 14 of the best Nutella desserts that you can find in Singapore.

In the real world where life doesn’t always seem to go according to plan, there is little wonder why humans love the idea of magic. With the help of fantasy novels such as Harry Potter and The Hobbit, people are able to break away from daily mundanes and be part of a world that has mystical creatures, powerful wizards and not to mention, create magic.

If getting accepted into Hogwarts is a lifetime dream of yours, then you have to know more about Platform 1094, a wizard-themed cafe along Serangoon Road. Managed by the same team that is behind Fresh Fruits Lab, Platform 1094 is where your wizard dreams come true.

Besides what you can find on their regular menu, the cafe is introducing an all-new Harry Potter-themed English Afternoon Tea at S$55 for 2 pax where you can enjoy a selection of sweets and savouries that are inspired by the Harry Potter series. Think Chocolate Frogs, Owl Hootdoo Macarons and Turkey Bacon Quidditch Quiche. Platform 1094′s wizard-themed afternoon tea is available from Tuesdays to Sundays between 2pm to 6pm (reservations are necessary).

Put on the wizard robe, grab a pointed hat and choose a wand of your liking—a spellbinding session awaits.

A “RIDDIKULUS-LY” FUN PLACE TO UNLEASH YOUR INNER WIZARD

The magic begins once you step foot into Platform 1094.

Every detail at Platform 1094 is taken care of to ensure guests receive the most magical dining experience, from the ambience right down to their food. The rustic cafe is adorned with antiques such as lamps and a swinging chandelier that give the place a warm, orangey lighting. Guests sit on chairs that are designed with a deer (possibly paying tribute to Harry Potter’s Patronus) and dine at wooden tables.

Once you have settled down, it is time to play dress up! Put on your favourite wizard clock, scarf and pointed hat. If you are feeling it, you can even pick up a wand and wear a pair of round spectacles too. Just imagine all the cute pictures you get to take with your squad!

NEW HARRY POTTER-THEMED AFTERNOON TEA SET THAT IS “SIRIUS-LY” GOOD

Behold, the Hagrid’s English Afternoon Tea. Boasting a mixture of savoury and sweet items that are inspired by the fantasy novel, this is one extremely attractive afternoon tea set that will have the Harry Potter fans going crazy for. Just when you think you have seen it all, the tea set also lights up upon a flick of your wand!

Your wizard journey begins with the Bewitching Tuna Sandwich, followed by Potato Slyther-in Bacon with Cheddar Cheese, Avocado Salmon Weasled with Chicken Floss on Edible Magical Ladle and Turkey Bacon Quidditch Quiche.

Well, true Harry Potter fans will definitely be able to pick up familiar names and if you did not, then read those names out loud again!

Each dessert item was meticulously thought of before they are shortlisted to be in included in this tea set and boy, were we impressed by what we saw: the Owl Hootdoo Macarons that looked way too cute for consumption; tantalising Pumpkin Tartlets; Rock Cake served with Cauldron-Brewed Cream Cheese Dip; Rasp-Berry Potter & Mango-Nagall Mousse with its crazy swirls and the iconic Chocolate Frogs.

Of all that we tried, the Pumpkin Tartlets are deserving of a special mention. The creamy pumpkin filling had the right amount of sweetness that was not cloying on the taste buds and we liked how the layer of chocolate ganache on top adds an extra dimension of flavour.

Besides that, Hagrid’s English Afternoon Tea also includes Green Frog Flexi, which is essentially a thirst quenching green tea drink to complement the food.

TOP UP S$6 FOR HARRY POTTER LATTE OR HOT CHOCOLATE WITH GOLDEN SNITCH

For diners who drop by over the weekends, you get to top up S$6 to upgrade your drink to a hot cup of latte that comes with an intricate Harry Potter latte art.

Otherwise, you can also opt for hot chocolate, which comes with a Golden Stitch on top. Being such hardcore Harry Potter fans, you bet we took a million pictures of the cute drinks!

OTHER WIZARD-THEMED DESSERTS TO TRY

Can’t get enough of wizard-themed desserts just like us? There are even more choices from their a la carte menu.

All their desserts have our stamp of approval whether we are talking about taste or aesthetics and we simply cannot wait to head back and try what else the cafe has in store!

Platform 1094′s Harry Potter afternoon tea (S$55 for 2 pax) is available from Tuesdays to Sundays between 2pm to 6pm. Do take note that reservations are necessary.
