So after stuffing ourselves with the scrumptious main dishes, it was time for desserts! Frankly, I didn't even have enough space in my stomach anymore. But I figured I must try out their famous desserts, so the first one presented to us was the Sago Gula MelakaThis reminds me of the Sago pudding at Nosh with the elegant presentation, but unfortunately the taste was not as good.

This reminds me of the Sago pudding at Nosh with the elegant presentation, but unfortunately the taste was not as good. I might be biased because my dinner companions enjoyed this. The next is a platter of sort with Coconut Ice cream, a shot of gula melaka and gula melaka cake.
I must say that the coconut ice cream was really tasty and creamy without being overly sweet. The gula melaka was there for us to adjust the level of sweetness. Although half of my dinner companions didn't enjoy the bitter aftertaste of the gula melaka: more for me!
The cake was basically a plain cake baked with, you guessed it, gula melaka that you are meant to drizzle that same shot of syrup over if needed. It didn't really wow us. Last but not least, this chocolate beauty bestowed upon us.
I was admiring the beautiful chocolate ganache until I took a bite and opened my eyes super-wide. It was a Chocolate Durian Cake! Oh Gosh, second time I broke the rule on the same night. And the lethal combination of chocolate and durian had me reaching out for water for the fear of instant sore throat. The only bite I took was enough to appreciate the richness of the dessert. Durian lovers will definitely get food orgasms from this. Overall, there were some hits and misses during the meal but I can still see why this restaurant has won multiple awards: The service was impeccable, the ambiance was great after the rowdy party guests left and there is a decent wine list. But one visit like this can break your bank, so reserve it for special occasion. Never order the Otak Otak!
