Dessert Paradise

A new dessert house located at Jalan Song, facing the church. HG brought me here because he wanted to try the 清汤@ Lei Chi Kam. He was told that the owner did it the Singapore way. He loves it very much when he was working in Singapore. Is it because of the taste? Or because of the memories there?The shophouse is not big. Just nice for a dessert house. But I think the design is impractical. Why? The tables and seats are all big ones. Meaning if only 2 people come, they will occupy one big table and other customers will have to sit elsewhere or leave as there are not many tables. If it were me, I would for sure use small tables for the reasons 1) to accommodate more people 2) people who come for desserts are normally couples, small families or friends (in other words, small groups) 3) if a big group of people come, one can always put the small tables together to make a big one.

The menu looks attractive. As the shop name suggested, they only sell desserts which I think is one good thing because you can specialise and make name in the market niche.
I had this. Mango with pamelo with ice-cream. It tastes just nice. A mixture of sweet and sour but not too over. I'm not a person with sweet tooth.

HG's Lei Chi Kam. According to him, just so so. Not comparable to the one he had in Singapore.
We also ordered this. Spicy fried Chicken 怪味鸡. It's spicy and salty. I didn't really like it as I think besides spicy, the chicken is tasteless.

On overall, I think the desserts are ok. Price is reasonable too. We didn't try out the specialties as shown in the menu, so it would be unfair for me to comment here but I think for a dessert house to hang on long enough, you must at least have one or two desserts that are really good that once people think about it, they think about you. Something like a '招牌'. And I would also suggest if the waiters (yes, all guys) could improve their attitude, it would be a lot better. Not that they are rude or what, they just make me felt that they are not interested in selling the desserts. Like they are forced into it. For a newly opened shop, one would of course recommend customers some nice food to try out but they just stand there, waiting, making no attempt to suggest anything or make eye contact. When you enter the shop, you don't feel that you are welcomed. Passion is the word, I think. Anyway, it's a new shop. So there can still be room for improvement. Good luck to them!
