Honeymoon Desserts at VivoCity

Recommended by my sister as a good place to wrap lunch up, we headed to Honeymoon Dessert at Vivo City.

Durian Pancake (Signature Dish)

You either hate it or love it. Being a durian lover, it is without a doubt on my order chit. The durian is enveloped with whipped cream in a thin layer of pancake skin wrapped into a neat cube. The luscious durian flesh seems to melt in your mouth and the slight bitter taste of it blends perfectly with the sweetness of the whipped cream. Personally, I would prefer more durian in it. Apart from that, its AWESOME!

Fruits Sago

The standard sago but with more fruits instead of just honeydew. They are also very generous with the portion they give and fruits are also very fresh, even the kiwi is sweet.

Taro Custard and Sago Pudding

It looks kind of plain but be amazed, right below it is Yam Custard ( Orh-Ni ) with chunks of yam bits inside. The top layer is custard with sago which is baked making it look like a creme brulee. Taste is great but it is a little dry so do remember to order a drink to go along with this.

Watermelon Ice
Cool, refreshing and extremely thirst quenching.

Mango Beancurd Pudding

The beancurd is extremly smooth! Accompanied by half a mango, it is topped with mango puree syrup instead of the usual sweet syrup. Great combination and good texture. Definitely one for those with a sweet tooth!

The place is quite cosy but queue is inevitable on weekends. Food is excellent but some may find the cost a little steep. Desserts price range between $3.50 to $6.50 per bowl while the drinks are at $3 per cup. Total cost for 8 people when each of us ordered a dessert and shared 2 durian pancakes was $37.90. Service is average and a few of the staff seemed a little lost when the crowd starts flowing in. The cashier even gave me $2 worth of ten cents as change when he could not find any notes! But i believe they will improve on all these as time goes by as the floor manager was quite proficient.

Food: 4.5/5
Ambience: 4/5
Service: 3.5/5
Value: 3.5/5
Overall: 3.5/5
