Flaming Good Fun at Shashlik Restaurant: A Baked Alaska Review

 


Nestled in the bustling heart of the Far East Shopping Centre, Shashlik Restaurant offers a menu item that literally ignites the table with excitement: the Baked Alaska. This dessert, a frosty core of ice cream encased in a meringue shell, flambéed to perfection, promises not just a treat for the palate but a spectacle for the eyes. Here’s the scoop on why this dish is a must-try for anyone visiting Shashlik Restaurant.

A Dessert That Steals the Spotlight

As soon as the Baked Alaska arrives at your table, it commands attention. The top of the dessert is adorned with slices of canned peaches and cherries, each piece soaked in dark rum. But the real show begins when the server lights it up. The dark rum ignites, cloaking the dessert in mesmerising blue flames that dance across the meringue’s surface. It's not just dessert; it's an experience.

The Meringue: A Sweet Cloud of Perfection

The thick, fluffy meringue enveloping the ice cream is expertly charred, creating a caramelized exterior that is both sweet and crusty. This isn’t just any meringue; it’s a marshmallowy pillow that complements the ice-cold heart within. The contrast between the scorched exterior and the cold interior makes each bite a delightful play of temperatures and textures.

What Lies Beneath: A Frozen Treasure

Cut through the meringue, and you hit the core of the dessert—the ice cream, rock-hard and bracingly cold, layered with sponge cake that provides a soft textural counterpoint. This combination ensures that the Baked Alaska isn’t just a joy to look at but also a pleasure to dig into, offering a rich mix of flavours that resonate well after the flames have subsided.

Serving Sizes and Prices: Choose Your Adventure

Shashlik Restaurant caters to different group sizes with their serving options. The regular size, ideal for 2 to 4 people, is about the size of a palm and costs $28. For those dining solo or as a couple, the petite size at $18 provides a perfect sample of this iconic dessert. While the prices might seem a tad steep for dessert, the unique culinary experience justifies the expenditure.

The Ambiance: Relaxed and Family-Friendly

Shashlik Restaurant maintains a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere that complements its exciting menu. There’s no need to dress up; casual attire, including slippers and bermudas, is perfectly acceptable. The only request is to avoid revealing or inappropriate clothing, keeping the environment comfortable and welcoming for all diners.

Why You Can’t Miss This Dessert

Visiting Shashlik Restaurant and not ordering the Baked Alaska is like going to Paris and skipping the Eiffel Tower. It’s more than just a dessert; it’s a performance, a conversation starter, and above all, a delicious finale to any meal. Whether you’re dining with family, friends, or on a date, the Baked Alaska is sure to make your evening a little sweeter and a lot more memorable.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
