As part of an ongoing trend, Asian desserts have been a favourite after dinner treat for many people. In some ways, this type of niche is dominated by Dessert Story, which has caused some of the smaller and more creative stores to fall into some sort of obscurity. This meant that the opening of The Dessert Kitchen has excited many people and has also resulted in huge queues and waiting times.
Busy and bright
Taro and sweet potato
Ice stream ramen
Although the name gave nothing away about what it was, I could not resist ordering the Ice stream ramen, based only on the look of the dish. Unfortunately the dish was almost flavourless, even after adding the syrup to the dish all I could taste was the sickly sweetness and nothing else.
Japanese green tea soba
The only decent dish that we were served, the green tea soba had a strong flavour which was refreshing with the beans on top. The dishes and mangoes on the side, although sweet did not really add anything to the dish.
The Dessert Kitchen has incredibly long wait times, as well as a time limit for diners, to deal with the huge crowd. Part of me cannot imagine why people are waiting so long to repeatedly go there, as the experience was mediocre at best. The immense sweetness of all the dishes overpower the relatively weak flavours of the food, while the service was almost non-existent.
