Dessert Story
#B1-02/03, The Heeren, Orchard Road
6737 6097

Wandering around the basement of The Heeren, Hui Yi, Wen Yi and I chanced upon this small eatery tucked at the corner. A product of twin classic elements in “Tang Shui”, Dessert Story serves a wide range of Oriental-style desserts with a special fusion menu that blends the unique taste of traditional desserts with a modern twist.

After much deliberation, we decided on the Mango Pomelo with Sago ($3.80) rather than the black sesame paste. The mango chucks were sweet and juicy but the dessert got overwhelmingly sweet after a few spoonfuls.

All of us agreed that the Yam Paste with Gingko Nuts and Pumpkin ($3.20) tasted so much better. The texture was quite smooth and I liked the thickness of it. This is my favourite chinese dessert at wedding banquets.

After polishing off the 2 desserts, Hui Yi and I continued to peruse the menu and decided to try the Pumpkin Cake ($2.50) too. It was served warm and soft but I feel that too much flour was used.

Even though the desserts were relatively nice, I still prefer the western ones anytime!

WELCOME!

In ancient Greek mythology, sirens are creatures which have the body of a bird and the head of a woman. They have such sweet voices that sailors who heard their songs were lured into grounding their boats on the rocks on which the nymphs sang.

To me, food are like the sirens in so many ways. Intoxicating, wonderful, beautiful and yet, so very deadly if you let them get the better of you. Food is a big part of my life and it’s meant to be appreciated and savored slowly. I admit that I am extremely particular about what I eat. If it’s not something I want to put in my body, I’d rather not eat. Some people eat to live while others live to eat. I’ve yet to discover which side of the camp I’m in… What about you?

I hope that you will enjoy reading about my food adventures as much as I like writing them. And many thanks to my family and friends who always wait patiently for me to take photos before digging in!
