Sugar'n'Spice offers something nice

Theobroma sees you at their tables so regularly, they’re wondering whether to give you an employee name tag. The Chocolate Lounge menu and the Marine Plaza sweets buffet have you begging for more variety. If you’re the quintessential ‘what’s for dessert?’ person, you’ll know there are few quality places you can hone in to without your tastebuds complaining of the ‘been there, done that’ sensation.

Executive Chef Ananda Solomon has seized on this situation and created a brand new crepe station and mini-dessert buffet at the stylishly revamped Sugar’n'Spice. Curl your tongue around rum-and-raisin with flecks of choco chip; caramelised banana topped with shavings of macadamia nut; or candied orange peel fringed with honeyed tones. All wrapped in the lightest, most delicate French crepes this side of the Seine.

Our Trendy Taster favoured the fruity golden peach-and-pear creation with a generous honey drizzle. A more conventional sweet tooth? Choose from more than five varieties of sugar-dusted chocolate-choked brownies and heaving heaps of mini-doughnuts.

Your other haunts will wonder what became of their most dedicated desserter.
