Sweet Tooth

The ad in front of this dessert site will catch your eye with its overwhelming use of chocolate or the 9 layer stacked waffles with a special surprise between each one. Either way, it was enticing enough to get me inside.  It isn’t as good as it appears, but for some reason, I’ve been back. And was disappointed yet again. In reality, it’s more like Serendipity in New York…I frequent this place for the extreme ways they make their desserts and their wide variety, but the quality is…meh.

Lab Made Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream

Just writing about this TST hotspot is making me crave it! Guess it doesn’t help that I’m in recovery mode after surgery and have been deprived of sweets L This made-to-order ice cream food truck provides the freshest and most unique ice cream there is. Flavours vary from Ferrero Rocher to Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip to Ginger and Yam Sweet Soup to Grilled Corn Chips to Coconut Pandan. Every week, they change up the flavours, usually releasing two new flavours (A and B) and returning two typical flavours (C and D). Each cup (of one scoop) costs about $45, if my memory serves me well. A bit steep but definitely worth every penny.

Godiva Chocolatier

This entire entry is dedicated to Godiva's Rich Chocolate Ice Cream.  I'm not sure if rich is part of the name, but it should be.  It is so decadent, but I like to indulge every now and then, so I'm not complaining! After queuing for about 10 minutes, I finally got ahold of this heavenly goodness.  It was a bit dense but not as dense as Ben and Jerry's.  It was definitely sweet but not as sweet as Baskin Robbin's. It was not too big (like Cold Stone's) or too small (like any gelato joint).  I could even compare it to Marble Slab or Blue Bell's, but that would be a sin.  Don't take my word for it; go find your nearest Godiva and begin licking away!

Mochi Sweets

What's better than mochi?  How about a mochi filled with cream/mousse?? They have a wide variety of flavors, and they even label it (in case you receive a box with Durian mochi and are not a fan)! It makes for a nice gift or even an excellent, portion-controlled dessert.  The only downfall is that it must be consumed within 24 hours (but that means it's fresh)!

I never got the chance to take a picture of the inside because my relatives eat it faster than I can whip out my iPhone. It's my go-to gift if I can't think of anything else to buy! Just believe me when I say it's delicious!

Even children look them!
