The Signature Desserts
Gula Melaka Waffle at S$8.50 - waffle served with sago, gula melaka, coconut milk.

Core Ingredients - Sago, Gula Melaka, Coconut Milk, Square Waffle.

Tasting Notes - The sago ball is drizzled with gula melaka & coconut milk. There is a distinctly sweet flavor from the gula melaka & coconut milk. The waffle has pancake-like texture with air pockets to give it a chewy bite, crispiness on outside & softness inside, & when you eat the waffle together with the sweet gula melaka & fragrant coconut milk it lends a sweet creamy sweetness & fragrant coconut milk aroma to it. The sago gives it that burst, & jelly like texture & balance the chewy fluffy texture of waffle. Chef Adrian Toh uses gula melaka in this recipe to lend an Asian twist to this otherwise western waffle dessert.

Signature Milkshake
Banana Kiwi Milkshake at S$7.50 - made using UHT milk, vanilla ice cream, fresh banana, fresh green kiwi fruit.
Tasting Notes - The banana fruit overpowers the kiwifruit to lend a distinct banana flavor. This milkshake is creamy due to vanilla ice cream used in this recipe. The flavor is full-bodied, lemak, stronger, naturally sweetness from the banana balancing the slightly tarty sourly flavor of the green kiwi fruit.

Happy Birthday Milkshake at S$7.50 - made using vanilla ice cream, UHT milk, birthday cake mix. The Barista blends the ingredients together to get the milkshake, & garnish it with edible colored beads to serve.

Tasting Notes - Has a distinct strong vanilla flavor, with a light tinge of cake flavor, but the vanilla overpowers the cake flavor, is lightly sweet, milky, pretty much a vanilla shake.
