Châteraisé Café Singapore
Blk 490, Toa Payoh Lorong 6, #01-15, Singapore 310490
Opening Hours: 9:00am – 9:30pm Daily
Café Concept With Hokkaido Milk Latte and Cheese Tarts At Toa Payoh
Châteraisé’s outlet at Toa Payoh is different. It incorporates a sit-down café, though the sitting space indoors could be limited.
This café concept serves up Hokkaido Milk Latte, Caramel Latte, Vanilla Latte and Coffee with Hokkaido Fresh cream ($5.00 for hot, $5.80 for iced).
Cakes wise, popular favourites include White Zebra Caramel (that’s like a Mille Crepe Cake), Green Zebra, Crispy Chocolate Cake, Fluffy Cream Rolls and animal-shaped ones. Look out for the Hokkaido style cheese tarts, looking suspiciously like BAKE Cheese Tart, right down to the packaging. Châteraisé Singapore (Toa Payoh)

Rive Gauche Patisserie

Cafe Concept With Guanaja And Strawberry Softserve At Citylink Mall
Being one of the longest standing Japanese-French inspired patisserie around in Singapore since 1992, Rive Gauche has recently opened their flagship store in Citylink Mall (opposite Starbucks).
While all of the cakes, choux puffs and macarons are similar in all their takeaway outlets, drip coffee and softserve are exclusive items here at this dine-in outlet.
Available in 2 flavours – the classic Guanaja ($7.80) and Strawberry ($6.80). By the way, this reminds me of the flavour selection for McDonald’s Sundaes. Chocolate lovers should enjoy the Guanaja Softserve ($7), which came with chunks of chocolate sponge hidden beneath all the toppings. Rive Gauche Patisserie (CityLink Mall)

Japanese Style Cake Café With Yuzu Raspberry Cake And Matcha Azuki Tart
“Nesuto” which means “Nest” in Japanese is the latest concept by the folks behind SHUU by KOKI Tamagoyaki.
The interior is painted in pastel pink and white, giving a sense of comfort and minimalism which could be a pull-factor for the tai-tais and OLs for an afternoon respite.
The menu offers a selection of Japanese-French inspired desserts. Signature items include Suzette ($9.80), Blush Berry ($9) and Yuzu Raspberry Cake ($9).
The Yuzu Raspberry Cake ($9) is made with yuzu meringue mousse and chunks of fresh raspberries, the citrusy and tanginess of the fruits cut through entire combination, making the cake light and refreshing. Nesuto (Tras Street)

Off Goes Banana Tree, In Comes A Korean Bingsu Café
So, Banana Tree has said its goodbye, and reopened as “V Cafe 브이카페”.

Most people come for the Bingsu, with offerings such as Patbingsu ($12.50), Black Sesame ($14.50), Choco-holic ($14.50), Choco Banana ($13.50), Oreo Crush ($13.50, and Matcha ($12.50). V Café (Keong Saik)

Fantasy Themed Café With Elixir Drinks. Charming Interior For #OOTDs
Enchanted is a charming café beautifully done up with a fantasy theme, found at 88 Rangoon Road. #OOTD alert.
It serves a range of hearty brunch menu such as Big Breakkie ($17.90), Croque Madame ($14.90), Pesto Linguine ($15.90) and Shakshuka ($16.90).
Hmmm… sounds a little average, lacking of more fairy-tale themed food which one would expect.
For drinks, the Sorcerer’s Elixir ($9.90) would probably garner some Instagram worthiness with its presentation, as well as changing colours upon mixing two potions together. Enchanted (Rangoon Road)

Raclette Cheese Lava Toasts and OTT Milkshakes At Westgate
Meet & Melt has further expanded to the west(gate) as Bojio Cafe. Kind of a cheesy name, you think? At least, people can likely recall.
There is an extensive selection of Ice Cream ($3.20/ $5.80), Sundae ($9.90/ $12.90), Waffle ($11.90/ $14.90), Over-The-Top Milkshakes ($14.90), Monster Milkshakes ($19.90), Melt Toast ($12.90-$18.90) and Lava Toast ($15.90-$16.90).
The Lava Toast has one of the most extensive number of flavours of fillings to choose from, 12 in fact, from Mentaiko, Thai Milk Tea, Green Milk Tea, Salted Egg, Earl Grey to Peanut Butter.
My favourite was the Raclette Cheese Toast ($18.90) that came with a single scoop of ice cream. Bojio Café (Westgate)

Hokkaido Ice Cream Puff
35 Haji Lane Singapore 189224
Opening Hours: 12:00pm – 8:00pm (Mon – Fri), 11:00am – 8:30pm (Sat – Sun)
Freshly Baked Puff With Fat Scoop Of Ice Cream At Haji Lane
Hokkaido Ice Cream Puff has opened at 35 Haji Lane, offering crispy-type puffs with a fat scoop of ice cream sandwiched in between.
First things first, Hokkaido Ice Cream Puff is not exactly from Japan, but a franchise chain that originated from Malaysia. It also has stores in Brunei.
A puff priced at SGD$3.90 in Singapore, and RM3.80 if you buy it up north in Malaysia, FYI.
The freshly baked puff was the highlight, with a fragrant crisp on the outer layer. Unfortunately, it was marred by the generic-tasting ice cream – not quite ‘Hokkaido’ in texture or taste. Hokkaido Ice Cream Puff (Haji Lane)
