Dessert Bowl

When I was climbing the stairs up to this little dessert place, the aroma of durian really caught my attention! Today was my virgin visit to Dessert Bowl for supper and of course, I ordered Durian Mousse, as indicated on the menu as the #1 dessert. 

The durian mousse arrived quite promptly after I've ordered. IT WAS REALLY GOOD! The mousse is well mixed (durian + vanilla, as explained by my friend who brought me to such a wonderful dessert place) and the taste is really strong, in a good way! There's also a huge chunk of real delicious durian in the middle of the bowl! For a price of $5, it was really worth it. =)

This place serves good dessert and is definitely a good place to chill and hangout. It was quite crowded even at 11.40pm, on a Sunday (public holiday - Hari Raya) night. I will definitely come again and recommend everyone to give it a try! Thumbs up! =)

Durian Mousse

Extremely great!!! There was a huge chunk of pure durian flesh right in the middle of the mousse. The mousse itself wasnt too sweet and certainly didnt overpower the strong taste of the durian which is a good thing!! Overall, a great dessert!! (: We all enjoyed it a lot! (: 4.5/5







Durian Crepe

Though its just a small piece, it was packed with pure durian flesh!! Didnt really like the crepe though but the durian flesh made up for it! (: We ended up putting this crepe into the mousse xD haha

Its a great place to chill because they provide magazines for you to read, and they have sofas! Also its really cheap and value for $$ I think!

It's quite hard to find imo, but just walk past Sushi Tei then Guardian then turn right after the coffee shop and continue walking straight all the way till you see the sign in the first picture! (:

This great place was introduced to me a while ago, but not till recently that I actually went to this tiny shop hidden at a small corner of this "small town".

"Nice place, simple and cosy." that's our first impression.

Since more then one person had recommended "They had the BEST durian mousse!", first thing we ordered, of course, their durian mousse.

and boy, he was SO right.

I'm definately coming back for more, real soon!

the desserts on offer are simple, nothing fancy. if anything, i was slightly put out by the range of choices. but i found something nice to order anyways! :Di ordered the snow pear with white fungus ($4). sounds sooo healthy right? (: it was a light refreshing dessert to end off my foodie forage for the day (: the pear was boiled such that it was slightly soft, yet maintained its crunchiness. the wolfberries are good for eyes!

my sister's  dessert was interesting. i would have been more adventurous had i been hungrier, but since i had already Chomp Chomp-ed before that, i hardly had the stomach for anything else. this was red bean milk custard ($3.50). the milk custard was rather rich, but it was not too overwhelming because the red bean balanced it out nicely.

the ambience of this place is really interesting! firstly, you get beautiful views of the Serangoon Garden village and also, the cafe is decorated with really cute stuff!!! go check it out (:

Stumbled upon this place with a group of friends yesterday.

We had "Ai yu Mango"(?), Milk custard with fruits, a dessert with jackfruit and one last item(can't recall the name). The desserts were priced at a very reasonable price. Mostly ranging from $3.50 to probably $4.

Anyway, service was prompt, the place looks very nicely done up, very relaxing, great place for a chitchat with friends over some nice desserts.

The desserts arrived fast, and it was very nice, especially the milk custard with mixed fruits. The custard had a very milky taste that was just nice, not too over-powering on the palate.

Would be back for more!

was a blistering hot saturday afternoon while the blaze from the sun was hot enuf to bake the laundry crispy dry. decided w/ a bunch of frens to get a chill at this humble little joint. the setup is simple & nostalgic, while u can follow the trail of durian scent as u scale the steps. a cozy & comfortable place indeed, while nothing comes quite close to the quality of the desserts served.

tucked away in a small corner of serangoon garden. the interiors of this place attracted me.

its a very "hongkong like" concept to have shops on the second floor. even though u have to climb the stairs its still worth the effort.

the decorations are simple yet bring u back to the 1980s. with old recorders, hong kong movie posters and little decorations put up to teleport u back into the old teahouse. this place is 24/7 smelling fragrant. even the MTV is lee hom, idol. hehehe....

durian.

this is moist, with real durian flesh, is smooth and given the taste of coconut milk to enhance the flavour giving it a lift. the durian taste lingers in your mouth but manage to go down smoothly without leaving a stench. which will make u continue having more.

a real gem in the place and i will strongly encourage u to give it a try.

but, it is too much for 1 person to finish as the taste is really like eating durian cream. so pls try to share. but don't give it a miss k.

next up, the jackfruit desert. unique.

not overpowering, and out of the 3 desert ordered i liked this the most.

there are real jackfruit flesh in it.

the sago in the desert is quite a match and gives it the "kou gan" or should we call it the bite.

however, i was hoping that the texture or should we say the density could have been thicker.

I am a dessert lover so after reading the review here I decided to go and try it. Went to Dessert Bowl last friday the place was pack and noisy. We waited about 20mins for seat.

My hubby order the Durian Mousse with Black Glutinous Rice it was creamy, smooth and nice there is durian flesh inside too. I have a taste of it and I was quite suprise that the combination of the Black Glutinous  Rice with Durian Mousse goes very well thumbs up for this. For me I order the Hot Longan with White Fungus for this I would say it taste normal. And we also order the Durian crepe is only a small serving but the filling was nice. I will go back again to try other dessert. One plus point is they open late on fri and sat so for those who crave for dessert late at night can drop by for some dessert.

Went there last weekend with 4 other friends. We reached there at about 11pm and the place was semi-packed. The female waitress is very friendly and knows the menu very well too.

We ordered 2 Durian Mousse, 1 Ai Yu Mango, 1 Mango Pomelo, 1 Strawberry Mango Ice. The Durian Mousse is a killer, it is their top selling item according to the waitress. There is actually a portion of sweet durian in the dessert and it's really tasty (esp for durian lovers) at only $3.50.

The Ai Yi Mango was a mixture of the Ai Yu jellies and diced mangoes. Sweet and definitely good to consume during a hot day but I thought there could be more mangoes. The Mango Pomelo, like the name suggests, is served with pomelo bits and diced mangoes. Did not get to try that out. The Strawberry Mango Ice is topped with vanilla ice cream and the portions of diced strawberries and mangoes is generous. At the bottom layer, it is ice. 

It is a great place for friends to chill and spend the evening after dinner. People who live near Serangoon, this is a place not to be missed!

Went there with colleagues during lunch today. Place was relatively empty besides 2 tables but they left shortly as well. We got the "window seat". Nice place to sit and watch how people parallal park. We ordered 2 mango pomelo sago, 1 jackfruit sago, 1 steamed milk with red beans, 1 ai yu mango with coconut milk (ai yu = jelly agar agar?) and 1 gosh... i cant remember hahaha... its not memorable.

I have to say that having tried several mango pomelo sago desserts before, the ones served here looks and taste pretty yummy. The real gem however is the ai yu mango with coconut milk. The mango is creamy but not overpowering, the ai yu has a flavor of its own and the blend with the coconut milk is pleasing and not cloyingly sweet.

The steamed milk with red beans could be better if the red beans are not sooooo sweet that it overpowered the taste of the milk. Maybe in future i will ask them for a plain steamed milk dessert without the red beans.

Location like what the others has said is a bit of a climb and a bit of a cramp. However, if you have the time, it is a good place to hang out with a magazine or a book, have a dessert or 2 and watch the world pass you by.
