Desserts in Maccha House @ Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ Mall) [Singapore] #PLQMall

Closed friends would know that there are a few things in my life that i enjoy eating or drinking in its original form; one example is durian. Another one is green tea; i like it better as a beverage then as a dessert.

Therefore, when Alex insisted to have desserts at Maccha House; i was
apprehensive as i am not keen to waste my calories on foods that have a higher risk of being disliked by me. But he offered to pay; and that's a sweetener.

I don't remember ever visiting Maccha House although i recall a branch at Suntec City Mall. To be honest, i did have the intention to check it out for the green tea latte which i am personally fond of after having an incredulously amazing one at O'Sulloc Tea Museum on Jeju Island.

Ordering the green tea latter was definitive but i couldn't decide on the desserts. On one hand, Alex strongly endorsed the maccha cheese dorayaki and on the other hand, i was drawn to the best selling dessert at the flagship store in Kyoto; maccha tiramisu.

Decided on the maccha cheese dorayaki instead as our dear Alex would be paying for the desserts and i simply did not have the stomach space to squeeze two desserts at the same time.

Green Tea Latte - actually, the main reason i have yet to check out Maccha House for their green tea latter is because a friend didn't think it was fantastic. Alex, however, was full of praise about it. Now that i tried it, i am afraid i am not sold as i couldn't accept the bitter aftertaste following the sweet, milkiness. O'Sulloc (Jeju Island) is still way better.

Maccha Cheese Dorayaki - i looked at this as three separate desserts! Aside from the stack of dorayaki, you also get soft serve ice cream and shirotoma dumplings with azuki beans.  Three different types of filling for the dorayaki are available for your selection; chocolate chips, strawberries (most expensive) and mangoes (least expensive). I went with the priciest since i am not paying for it.

The dorayaki was pretty good despite having denser sponge cake like texture. Thankfully, the chantilly cream, the cream cheese glace and strawberries did a fantastic job in increasing its overall palatability, sans the strong bitterness of green tea that i ahbor.

Dumplings were okay; more than plain, tasteless tang yuan which required the essential assistance of the well-cooked, sweet azuki beans. Soft-serve ice cream was delicious; creamy and smooth, i was grateful that it's not full green-tea soft serve. p.s. the set was too filling for one person; would be better to share!
