Oh my sweets
Irresistible festive treats that even the Grinch can’t deny.
It’s easy to appreciate the effort that goes into creating The St. Regis Singapore’s latest festive offering, the Chocolate Yule Log ($68). Imagine a rich, moist chocolate flourless sponge with praline crunch. Vanilla cream and chocolate ganache topped with icing sugar add to the decadence. 29 Tanglin Road. Tel: 6506 6860
Inspired by our local iced sweet dessert, House of Mu offers a Chendol Log Cake ($48). It features a chendol pudding and pandan jelly as the base which is glazed with mango mousse and passion fruit glaze. 11 Mohamed Sultan Road.
