Apple Crumble

It is a brilliant dish. The soft Macadamia sponge on the bottom then topped with apple slices and popping candy for the crumble with delicious caramel ice cream on the side. The taste itself was fantastic and those popping candy elements made me jumping around like little kid that just got a new toy. I called it no "chewy dessert" only at the beginning though, just let it sit on your mouth for awhile and get the pleasure from popped candy until the fizzy reaction is completely gone. Totally enjoyed this exciting experience...



Milk Chocolate Cream Cake

The other dish was a luscious chocolate cake with toasted hazelnuts and smoked banana ice cream that served on the tile-like serving dish. Don't know why!! But I always like this kind of serving plate makes the food more classy and rusty because the contrast of colour and more appetizing too.

They do not take any booking unless for 6 people or more. So, just pop in and mention that you are here for the Sugar Hit, and they'll know.

 Pistachio and bitter chocolate vacherin with blood orange custard.

This Orange-theme Sugar Hit's dish from Intercontinental Hotel also comes with a glass of Brown Brothers Orange Flora Muscat. For me, the Orange custard is unarguably smooth and sumptuous, except that orange-y taste was too over-powering and just killed the other elements. However, I really loved the Orange Blossom Macaroon especially those creamy filling.

The very spacious and luxurious lounge with plenty of semi-private sofas and live-piano as the background music really topped up the atmosphere.. What a night!!!!
