Have been curious about Darkness Dessert (100 Tanjong Pagar Road, tel : +65 8842 1263) since I heard about them while back. These guys do traditional Chinese desserts - most of which are pastes. While the menu looked interesting, I didn't like them much. The pastes were starchy. I like them thick but not starchy/gloopy.
The flavours from the red bean, black sesame and yam weren't as fragrant as we were hoping for. Am also not understanding where they were going with the yam paste with durian. It's not mao shan wang so these were already one down against competition like Ah Chew. Yat Ka Yan's D24 also tasted better. But I'm not faulting that they didn't use mao shan wang. Durian's frozen. Which did nothing but cool and harden the yam paste which wasn't hot enough to thaw the frozen durian puree.
