Nasi Lemak @ Non Entrée Dessert Cafe
NASI LEMAK
Non Entrée Dessert Cafe, Singapore
A dessert inspired by the ever popular Nasi Lemak, this dessert consisted of coconut nasi (rice), pandan mousse and gula melaka (hidden within the coconut rice dome - you are meant to break it open before eating the dessert), ‘hard boiled egg’ with a mango ‘yolk’ and a yoghurt ‘white’, strawberry coulis made to look like sambal, ikan bilis, peanuts and a ‘kuning fish’ tulip made out of shallots. Reviews have mostly been in favour of this dessert, but somehow we found it a little bizarre. The ‘rice’ felt mushy, the mousse was too soft and the savoury bits didn’t seem to work for me. I also had a slight issue with the temperature of the dessert which with the exception of the ‘egg’, was served at room temperature. I’ll probably get flamed by Singaporeans for this review...
