If you are reading this post, I'm sure that you are a sucker for desserts. How do I know? Cos I'm one too =p Upon setting eyes on the attractive price of $6.90 for two choices of dessert items retailing up to $13.90, I immediately purchased the voucher for desserts at Sweet Sweet Tooth!
Since this is a pretty new establishment located in a rather 'secluded' walkway at Marina Square, reviews are scant. Even hungrygowhere.com didn't have much information in there when I checked! There was only one rave review by a customer who was served water and good desserts. Heyyyyy, speaking of water, I don't remember being served water when my friend and I arrived at the empty cafe with our coupon! =(
Ok, that's a small issue. Can't blame the two staff since we were just getting what we paid for. And so we ordered the following:
1) Chocolate fondant
The warm chocolate fondant appeared like an average chocolate sponge cake on the surface, but molten chocolate batter oozed out when we dug a spoon in like any self-saucing cake (no surprise to us here). There was ~1cm rim of chocolate cake lining the pool of liquid, which sported a rather greasy look and seemed a tad bit too sweet for us after a few mouthfuls. Good thing this dessert was served after our green tea snow ice, for it numbed our tastebuds with its sweetness. We felt that the green tea ice cream that came along with the fondant failed to complement the fondant with it's very milky/creamy texture. Too greasy on the whole.
2) Green tea snow ice
Sweet Sweet Tooth had came up with a variation from the normal green tea snow ice that we usually have at DessertStory or Mei Heong Yuan Dessert. Apart from the red bean, there was an interesting addition of green tea crumble and nata de coco bits to the flaky snow ice. If I'm not wrong, the additions were made to impart texture as well as novelty to this well-received snow ice. The crumble didn't suit my palate, and nata de coco felt out of place after the snow ice melted in my mouth. I still like my green tea snow ice plain and smooth like snow.
We both liked it being less sweet than the ones we had before since there was no condensed milk on the generous heap of bittery green-tea goodness (I realised that I had been selectively scooping those areas with no condiments). The red-bean paste was sufficiently sweet enough to tone down the bitterness of the snow ice, but somehow, it didn't match up to the standards of other establishments.
For the price, it's a good deal if you like some casaul desserts in a quaint place with soothing music. But don't be picky about the food like I am.
