As one of my favourite place for dessert, my highest record is having dessert buffet in Tiffin Lounge 3 times a week. Havent been there for a few months. They usually change dessert themes once a month, at the moment, it's ICE CREAM night.
Tonight, savory dishes were chicken broth, salmon&ham roll, brie cheese in bread, and cheese platter. (They used to have baked oyster) My favourite was the brie cheese in bread. I encored 3 times. (I have an incredibly big stomach....)
Ice-cream cakes were alright. I liked the hazelnut chocolate swiss roll. Sweet but not so heavy. Others were too soft and creamy like heavy whipped cream instead of ice cream.
5 different flavored ice cream provided. However, they weren't anything special. I thought they used to have much better ice cream flavors. Bit disappointing.
There were also ice cream spagetti and ice cream sandwich. Didn't take any of those.
Choice of blueberry or passionfruit souffle. Too sweet. Used to be very light, now it was just too sugary.
The ALL-TIME-BEST is their fresh-made waffles. Soft inside and crispy on the outside. Trust me, add nothing but peanut butter ontop. Their peanut butter is so smooth and rich. The combination really makes you feel like in heaven. MUST MUST HAVE.
There were mini macaroons but I didn't take any. Surprisingly, there was a coconut cookie that was really delicious.
Chinese desserts were mango and sago soup, tofu fa, and water chestnut sweet soup. I loved the tofu fa, so soft.
Cakes- strawberry mille feuille (no good), raspberry and rubharb tart (good), blueberry pie (nah...), green tea and red bean cake (no good), mango mousse on almond cake (too sweet), tea flavored chocolate mousse cake (tooooo sweet), japanese lemon sponge tart (too sweet again), and strawberry cream cake (quite good). In conclusion, cakes weren't so great.
Bread pudding was also provided. Also used to be better, tonight's weren't fresh. A bit hard, and wasn't hot enough.
Little cups were also not so good. They provide different cups each time they change themes, but I never really enjoyed them. I thought they were always just a cup of cream. All tasted too similar to me.
I didn't eat any fruits or sticks from the chocolate fondue.
See......I really do eat a LOT !!. It's real scary. But in conclusion, it's either my taste have changed, or they've really been doing not as good as they used to be.
p.s. Too many people, a bit crowded which lost the quiet atmosphere they used to have which was also one reason why I like tiffin so much before.
My favourites were gone, tiramisu, cherry baked cheese, and new york cheesecake....all gone.....*sniff
