Mimmo Bakery @ Asia Square Tower 1 - One of the Best Egg Tarts in Singapore?

Mimmo Singapore, a Hong Kong-born pop-up concept, has finally found a permanent home at Asia Square, Singapore. Helmed by Le Cordon Bleu–trained Chef Domenico Giammarella, the café-bakery reflects his culinary journey across Montreal, Toronto and beyond, where precision, technique and creativity converge. At Mimmo, pastry-making is approached with both scientific discipline and artistic finesse, resulting in a menu that is thoughtful, refined, and deeply personal.

Egg Tart 5/5

Chef Domenico shared that he has always been on a quest for the perfect egg tart — and when he couldn’t find one that met his expectations, he decided to create his own. The result is nothing short of exceptional. Priced at $4, the Egg Tart features an impeccably crisp and flaky shell that shatters lightly upon bite, revealing a silky, smooth egg custard within. The custard strikes a delicate balance between sweetness and richness without being cloying. It is easily one of the best versions around, and a must-order at Mimmo.

Tigres 3.8/5

The Tigres ($2) is a petite French almond tea cake inspired by the classic financier. Made with browned butter and egg whites, the base is rich yet tender, studded with finely chopped dark chocolate that melts into streaks resembling tiger stripes. At its core lies a luscious caramel filling that adds a luxurious touch. While texturally pleasing, the overall sweetness leans slightly heavy for my palate.

Apple Croissant 4.2/5

The Apple Croissant ($5) is as visually stunning as it is satisfying. Thinly sliced apples are arranged atop the croissant to resemble delicate rosé petals, finished with a glossy glaze. Beneath its elegant exterior lies a flaky, buttery laminated pastry filled with a smooth vanilla and apple custard. The contrast between the slight crunch of the apples and the soft, airy layers creates a delightful multi-textural experience.

Pistachio Bolo Bao 4.2/5

Mimmo’s Pistachio Bolo Bao ($5) offers a modern European interpretation of the beloved Hong Kong classic. Instead of the usual dense bun, this version is lighter and fluffier, paired with a refined cookie crust that is less crumbly yet still delivers a gentle crunch. Inside, a generous filling of mascarpone pistachio cream flows luxuriously, balancing sweetness with a nutty depth that keeps it from becoming overwhelming.

Tiramisu 4.2/5

Chef Domenico’s take on Tiramisu ($12) stays true to tradition while incorporating a thoughtful twist. Served by the scoop from a large tray, it features layers of mascarpone cream and espresso-soaked savoiardi biscuits. The addition of finely chopped hazelnuts introduces a subtle crunch, elevating the dessert with a nutty dimension that complements the rich, velvety cream beautifully.

Strozzapreti alla Gigi 4.5/5

For something savoury, the Strozzapreti alla Gigi offers a hearty and comforting option. The handmade strozzapreti pasta, with its signature twisted shape, is cooked to a firm al dente bite, providing a satisfying chew. It is coated in a rich mushroom and pancetta rosé sauce — a creamy tomato base layered with smoky, savoury notes. The robust sauce clings well to the pasta, making each bite indulgent yet balanced.

Italian Club Sandwich 4/5

The Italian Club Sandwich ($18) is a generously portioned offering built with precision. Toasted slices of bread provide a crisp foundation for layers of Parma ham and mortadella, melted provolone cheese, basil pesto, and a tangy citrus aioli. Fresh tomatoes and a generous handful of alfalfa sprouts add brightness and texture, resulting in a well-rounded sandwich that is both hearty and satisfying.

Mimmo Singapore impresses with its thoughtful execution and clear identity — a space where classic techniques meet modern refinement. The pastries, particularly the Egg Tart, are standout highlights that showcase Chef Domenico’s pursuit of perfection, while the savoury offerings provide a well-balanced complement. Whether you are stopping by for a quick pastry or a more substantial meal, Mimmo delivers a polished and satisfying experience that is well worth a visit.

The Landing Point @ The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore - Matcha Expressions Afternoon Tea

Calling all afternoon tea enthusiasts and matcha girlies. The Landing Point at The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore has launched a seasonal Matcha Expressions Afternoon Tea, available from 1 July to 31 August 2026. Paying tribute to one of Japan’s most iconic drinks, the afternoon tea showcases premium usucha-grade matcha sourced from Uji, Kyoto, Japan’s most renowned tea-growing region.

Set against the picturesque Marina Bay waterfront, The Landing Point is a pretty spot for afternoon tea, especially if you’re lucky enough to book one of their sofa seats. The natural light-filled space, with its floor-to-ceiling windows and elegant interiors, makes it especially popular for leisurely catch-ups and, of course, plenty of photos.

Presented on an elegant 3-tiered stand dressed with pretty florals, this limited-time menu incorporates matcha across both the savoury and sweet selections with subtle Japanese influences. Chef Joan Octavi also shared that he was particularly excited for us to try the desserts, which turned out to be the highlight of the experience.

Matcha

As expected from a matcha-themed afternoon tea, each guest is welcomed with a glass of Matcha, served either warm or iced. The set also includes a choice of coffee or tea. I opted for the Crème Brûlée tea, a fragrant green tea infused with delicate notes of strawberries and red fruits. Light and floral with just a hint of sweetness, it paired very nicely with the pastries throughout the afternoon.

Norwegian Smoked Trout

We started our tea time with the Norwegian Smoked Trout, served on a soft blini and layered with smooth cream cheese, ikura and a light dusting of matcha powder.

Boston Lobster

Tuna Tataki

The Boston Lobster was one of the more luxurious bites, pairing sweet, succulent lobster with a bright yuzu-matcha mayonnaise and Nomad caviar, whilst the lightly seared Tuna Tataki was served with crisp kohlrabi and sesame-matcha aioli.

Duck Rillettes

Served on a crisp cracker, the Duck Rillettes came with matcha fig compote and cornichon. The duck was rich and savoury, while the fig compote contributed a mellow sweetness.

Classic Cucumber Sandwich

Truffle Egg Salad Sandwich

The Classic Cucumber Sandwich was simple but tasty, with crisp cucumber and cream cheese tucked between soft bread. The Truffle Egg Salad Sandwich’s creamy filling and fragrant truffle made for an easy crowd-pleaser.

To be honest, the matcha element wasn’t particularly evident in the savoury bites, as it was used more as a subtle accent rather than the main event. Regardless, each savoury bite was well-composed, felt premium and was very enjoyable. I thought that this also provided a nice balance before we moved on to the sweets where matcha was more prominently used.

Chitose Strawberry Matcha Shortcake, Matcha Cheesecake

From the dessert selection, what caught my eye first was the gorgeous Chitose Strawberry Matcha Shortcake, featuring layers of fluffy matcha sponge, fresh strawberries and light vanilla Chantilly. Given how trendy and popular matcha strawberry has been recently, I was pleased to see this combination on the menu.

Next to it was the Matcha Cheesecake, featuring a smooth matcha cream cheese filling atop buttery graham crumbs, finished with a glossy matcha glaze.

Matcha Yuzu Pecan, Matcha Custard Mochi, Matcha Raspberry

The Matcha Yuzu Pecan was my favourite sweet of the afternoon. It combines caramelised pecan praline, whipped matcha ganache and dark chocolate, all brightened with a touch of yuzu. I especially loved how the toasted, buttery pecans complemented the earthy matcha.

For a different texture, the Matcha Custard Mochi was equally enjoyable. The chewy mochi encased a silky custard filling with sweet azuki red bean. It’s not overly sweet either, and the flavours came together nicely.

The Matcha Raspberry paired smooth matcha crémeux with raspberry confit and airy matcha chiffon sponge. The tartness of the raspberry cut through the matcha cream, so it wasn't too heavy.

Citrus Baba Savarin

Instead of the traditional scones, the afternoon tea offers a Citrus Baba Savarin, served with green tea crème and tangy yuzu curd. I thought this was a unique change from the usual format. The baba was light, soft and pleasantly moist, while the citrus flavours made it feel much less filling than a classic scone with clotted cream and jam. It rounded off the sweet selection on a zesty note.

The Matcha Afternoon Tea offers a very pleasant take on matcha without overdoing it. The desserts in particular showcase it in a variety of ways, pairing it with strawberries, yuzu, raspberries and pecans. The Landing Point’s elegant waterfront setting and attentive service make for a lovely afternoon out as well.

Pacific Emporium @ Pan Pacific Singapore - New English Afternoon Tea Experience

From now till 18 November 2026, Pacific Emporium at Pan Pacific Singapore welcomes guests to enjoy a cosy afternoon with its new English Afternoon Tea, inspired by timeless English classics.

English Afternoon Tea 3/5

Served daily, with two seatings available: 1pm to 3pm and 4pm to 6pm. On weekdays at $58++ per person, look forward to an elegant three-tiered afternoon tea set, complete with a choice of one main course.

On weekends, the experience transforms into a buffet spread for $68++ per person, with unlimited servings. Top up $20 per person to include a glass of Taittinger Brut Réserve Champagne.

Royale Lavender Earl Grey

We visited on a weekend, where the experience began with a refreshing Royale Lavender Earl Grey welcome drink. Delicately flavoured with Earl Grey tea, lavender and lemon, it had a lovely pink hue.

Corn Parfait

Mini Salmon Bagel

Virginia Ham Quiche

Bacon-wrapped Shrimp

Chicken Tea Sandwiches

The savoury selection featured Corn Parfait, Mini Salmon Bagel, Duck Rillettes Mille-feuille, Virginia Ham Quiche, Bacon-wrapped Shrimp topped with Blackcurrant Glaze, and Chicken Tea Sandwiches.

Duck Rillettes Mille-feuille

We preferred the Duck Rillettes Mille-feuille most, which had a crisp exterior topped with Siberian caviar. The plum confit added a pleasant tang.

Braised Beef Short Ribs

Fish and Chips

Among the Chef’s Speciality Showcase, the Mango Pani Puri is exclusive to weekends. The other four dishes, Classic Chicken Pie, Fish and Chips, Braised Beef Short Ribs, and Kedgeree, are offered as the main course choice on weekdays.

Mango Pani Puri

The Mango Pani Puri is a DIY station. Diners can fill the Pani Puri shells with vanilla sauce, mango compote, mango boba and rice krispies. While it was fun to DIY, we found the mango compote too sweet.

Kedgeree

Kedgeree is a classic English curried rice dish served with quail egg and smoked haddock.

Classic Chicken Pie

Our unanimous favourite, however, was the comforting Classic Chicken Pie, generously filled with mushroom chunks and chicken in a creamy Alfredo sauce.

Japanese Custard Pudding

Pink Grapefruit Mint Gateau

Corn Roulade

Overall, we found the sweet treats more memorable than the savouries. Highlights included the Raspberry Hazelnut Royaltine, Corn Roulade, Pink Grapefruit Mint Gateau, Japanese Custard Pudding and Pistachio Kunafe-style Tart.

Pistachio Kunafa-style Tart

While the Pistachio Kunafa-style Tart leaned on the sweeter side, we enjoyed the contrasting crunch from both the kunafa and the tart shell.

Raspberry Hazelnut Royaltine

The Raspberry Hazelnut Royaltine was rich and chocolatey, though we wished it had a little crunch for added texture.

Classic and Yuzu Scones

We appreciated that both the Classic and Yuzu Scones were served warm, accompanied by honey, raspberry jam and traditional English clotted cream.

For beverages, each diner may choose two selections from the TWG Tea collection or Robert Timms coffee menu.
