Anyone who knows me would know that I don’t normally go for Chinese desserts, but I had to make an exception for this dessert cafe.
Here, you can indulge in Chinese-style desserts at Lantine Cafe, located just five minutes from Farrer Park MRT.
Their thoughtfully curated menu offers a modern twist to traditional Guangzhou delicacies, with many options for desserts and drinks.
Their Strawberry Souffle (S$16) is an absolute crowd-favourite, with its fluffy appearance and melt-in-your-mouth batter.
Accompanied by a generous portion of strawberries, whipped cream, strawberry syrup, and chestnut pearls, this was so worth it. (I mean, we all know how much even a plain Souffle pancake can cost in Singapore right…).
And, for those who don’t fancy strawberries, other flavours include Matcha Red Bean (S$14), Mango (S$15), and Oreo (S$14), to name a few.
The Goji Berry and Red Date Roasted Milk Tea (S$13.90) is another must-have, especially on a rainy day. Warm drinks aren’t usually my cup of tea but this was the exception. The taste of the goji berries and red dates was just the right amount to not overpower the roasted milk tea.
Even better, the tea is served in a clay teapot to accentuate the aroma over a candle, to ensure it stays hot (in case you spend too much time yapping).
If you like a mix of textures, the Bayberry Taro Ball Konjac (S$6) won’t disappoint. Along with big taro balls to chew on and jelly to slurp, this sweet treat also comes with popping chestnut pearls. They’re not just ordinary popping pearls—the added crunch from the chestnut makes them even more fun to chew on!
Need to get your coffee fix? They have some unique coffee options like Taro Latte (S$8), Pomegranate Americano (S$6), Green Grape Americano (S$6.50) and more.
The Iced Osmanthus Latte (S$7) was a real standout on the menu, even just in looks alone. Smooth, creamy, and with just a hint of floral sweetness, it’s a safe bet for anyone who looking for a classic latte with a little extra charm.
Their Taro Mochi (S$6.90) is a modernised take on the traditional Teochew dessert. Instead of adding coconut milk to the taro paste, they’ve replaced it with a special milk mochi (admin thoroughly enjoyed this). I can see this dessert being a huge hit with the older folks because of its mellow taste profile (unfortunately admin likes her desserts sweet).
So, who’s making plans for dessert here?
