It was girls' night out and we had just finished our BBQ dinner at home. We thought, "oh...there's a new dessert 'bar' at Holland Village". Let's try it!". So four of us trooped over to Holland V.

To be honest, the real reason for going was not to try the desserts. I had been warned about its "out of the world" pricing and really, with places like Canale and Pattissier, the prices were insane to me. I wanted to go to 2:am because....of the seats.

Having been to Siem Reap and chilled daily (while on holidays there) on the Blue Pumpkin's bed/sofa/couch seating with a Kahlua ice cream dessert, I was hoping that I could find a similar experience at 2:am.

Alas, apart from the couch seats and carefully created "cool chill factor", there was nothing much else to shout about...except "MY GOODNESS! SO EXPENSIVE!Thanks (insert name) for the treat!"

This is what we ordered:
1) Tiramisu - Pretty and dainty looking, anaemic to the taste buds. Give me the robust Italian style tiramisu (ala Da Paolo Gastronomia and Pete's place)
2) Twix (cake)- nice but grossly GROSSLY overpriced
3) Chocolate (tart) - perfect to the palatte, sadly found wanting in the price department

Lastly, I liked the effort made by the chef/owner who served one of the desserts and at the same time explain the intricacies of each dessert. Not that the details were lost on me, it's just that the dessert prices totally overwhelmed all the "pluses" of the place.

This place is highly recommended for:
1) People who are on diets (because the prices are so high and portions are so small, you'd think twice about ordering a second helping)
2) People who want to spend their year end bonuses impressing their banker/model/finance whiz/high maintenance girlfriend with their "good taste" and incredible spending power.

Not recommended for:
1) People who truly love their desserts
2) People who want to give their parents a treat (not only will you negative responses from them, they will nag at you for wasting so much money)
3) People who want to buy a birthday cake (imagine: $14 for maybe, 30g of cake. 1kg would cost you $500)
