Cakes & Muffins @ Dutch Colony Coffee Co..
.
Loved the Sea Salt Chocolate Caramel Cake (SGD $7.50), with its rich creamy smooth dense layers of chocolate fudge cake, salted caramel, and chocolate cream. Studded with bits of crunchy peanuts that lend a nice texture.
.
Inspired by the traditional kueh-kueh, the Ondeh Ondeh Cake (SGD $7.50) is nicely pleasant. Has large soft fluffy layers of pandan infused cake, interspersed with strips of gula melaka infused, topped with rich gula melaka buttercream and thick caramel. This has lovely floral earthy sweet flavours, bold but not intense, well balanced overall.
.
Love their Carrot Cake (SGD $7.50), which has a fluffy soft carrot cake studded with crunchy walnuts and chewy black raisins, layered with thick and rich cream cheese frosting. This has beautiful vegetal earthy nutty cheesy milky sweet flavour, yum.
.
Loved the exquisite Key Lime Tart (SGD $7.50), which carries bold fruity milky sweet sour zesty tangy flavours. The thick yet gelatinous soft lemon curd yields easily when cut, with the graham cracker base crumbling easily.
.
The Apple Cinnamon Muffin (SGD $4.50) is warm and fluffy. The firm crunchy crust has crushed graham cracker clusters, lending a biscuit savoury nutty sweet flavour. The infusion of cinnamon and juicy diced apple chunks within the soft moist muffin result in a bright fruity sweet spice bready flavour, very nice.
.
The Chicken Pesto Cream Linguine (SGD $18) was the 1st dish I ever ate at Dutch Colony Coffee Co, and its perfect execution and delicious taste affirmed my desire to return for more.
.
The linguine pasta noodles bordered chewy and soft, piled high in the middle of the plate, coated in rich house-made pesto cream which is bright with vegetal milky herbal sweet earthy flavour.
.
Surrounding are juicy fresh cherry tomatoes with vegetal sweet notes, and chunky juicy boneless chicken thigh pieces marinated in a house spice mixture carrying addictive meaty spice savoury sweet flavour.
.
The Blackberry & Feta Toast (SGD $17) caught my eye while browsing the menu, as seasonal blackberries are rather uncommon in dishes.
.
This has a base of crisp crunchy toasted sourdough bread, covered with chunky mashed avocado, crumbly feta cheese, juicy blackberries, and crisp shallot mignonette (a rich sauce of minced shallots, white vinegar, and rice vinegar), all sprinkled with a little iodized salt, cracked white pepper, and cracked black pepper.
.
Combined, this holds lovely bready sour nutty vegetal earthy sweet zesty fruity milky flavours, nicely yummy.
.
Added a duo of overeasy eggs on the side, whose eggy sweet savoury flavour complements well.
.
Loved the Truffled Egg Mayo Croissant (SGD $12). This has a flaky soft croissant, filled with chunky creamy egg mayonnaise, dressed with cracked black pepper and a dash of truffle oil.
.
Has lovely bready eggy savoury sweet salty peppery spice flavour, delicious.
