Desserts are presented with blend of tastes and textures, and the wide variety included traditional Malay kuih, Western cakes and Gelato flavoured ice cream. One worthy recommendation by Chef Dodi is their specialty Durian Mousse which is made with a blend of fresh durian pulp. Durian lovers will sure to find themselves carried away with the pungent fragrance of this dessert.
A new and must try dessert is the Franzipane, an almond-flavoured sweet pastry. Chef Dodi revealed that the dessert is prepared using a special in-house toasting technique to create the tart crust crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
