7 Viral-Worthy Flavours Redefining Dessert Experiences in Singapore
A scoop of peanut butter melting into a warm pandan waffle, black sesame lava cake oozing with every bite. These sights and sensations aren’t strange to the Singaporean taste bud and are taking the world by storm.
In a city where food trends spread faster than a chocolate fountain, staying ahead means knowing which flavours are worth the hype. From the hands of skilled bakers to the minds of innovative chefs, Singapore’s dessert scene is nothing short of world-class when it comes to the most talked-about treats 😋🧁
1. Pandan
No flavour whispers Singapore quite like pandan—the fragrant, vanilla-like leaf that’s woven into our culinary DNA. But forget the usual kaya toast; today’s desserts are giving this heritage gem a luxe makeover. Think pandan mousse floating atop coconut cream, or pandan chiffon layered with bandung for a modern take on lapis. At Two Bakers, our Kueh Salat transforms this humble flavour into a cloud-like dream, pairing aromatic pandan with velvety coconut mousse. Once traditional, now transcendent—this is pandan, elevated.
2. Coffee
Coffee in Singapore isn’t just a caffeine fix—it’s a cultural icon, and Kopiko proves it. Forget flat whites; here, coffee desserts are bold, nostalgic, and unapologetically rich. Picture coffee-infused white chocolate mousse layered with dark chocolate ganache, or a rum-spiked tiramisu nodding to old-school kopitiam flavours. Our Kopiko dessert is a love letter to this local staple, blending robust coffee with luxurious chocolate chiffon. It’s the kind of dessert that doesn’t just wake you up—it makes your taste buds sing.
3. Yuzu
Japan’s beloved citrus has found a second home in Singapore, where its zesty, floral tang cuts through our tropical heat. But while yuzu shines in ponzu abroad, here it’s all about dessert drama—think yuzu lemon tarts with torched meringue or yuzu-laden mousse dancing with matcha. In our Bao Zi, yuzu lemon brightens chrysanthemum mousse, creating a refreshing bite that’s equal parts delicate and vibrant. Not just a flavour, but a mood—one that’s irresistibly Singaporean.
4. Earl Grey
This isn’t your grandma’s tea-time treat—Earl Grey has gone gourmet. Singapore’s dessert scene embraces its bergamot perfume in pear tarts, mousse cakes, and even macarons, where its floral depth balances sweetness. Our Earl Grey Pear Tart is a masterclass in elegance: ripe pears atop a buttery sable base, kissed with Earl Grey cream. It’s afternoon tea, reimagined as a dessert worth savouring—slowly.
5. Matcha
Yes, matcha is everywhere. But in Singapore, it has transcended trend status and entered obsession territory. From matcha lava cakes seeping into Instagram feeds to matcha-kaya swiss rolls bridging Japanese and Peranakan flavours, Singapore has made this ceremonial-grade ingredient distinctly our own. Local cafes riff with creations like matcha ondeh-ondeh mochi, proving bakers don’t just adopt trends—they remix them. At Two Bakers, our Zen dessert layers grassy matcha chiffon with black sesame and miso caramel—a trio so harmonious, it’s practically poetry in dessert form.
6. Bandung
The rose-syrup drink of our childhood has grown up, and it’s now starring in desserts that are anything but basic. Bandung cheesecakes, red velvet-bandung hybrids, and even bandung-infused lapis (like our Lapis dessert) are turning this pink delight into a sophisticated flavour. Sweet, floral, and just a little nostalgic—bandung is a whole dessert experience on its own.
7. Peanut Butter
Singapore’s peanut butter game is all about unexpected extravagance. From satay sauce to pasar malam peanut muah chee, we’ve long loved this humble spread. Now it’s getting a dessert glow-up: peanut butter kaya swirl buns, salted peanut butter soft-serve, and Two Bakers’ Min Jiang Kueh—where peanut butter chantilly and salted caramel cream meet delicate mille crepes. It’s the ultimate atas spin on a market classic, proving ordinary flavours can become extraordinary.
