Finally tried some stuff at Jane Deer (#01-01/#02-02, 496 North Bridge Road) after seeing them numerous times at Bugis.
Didn't think much of the durian shaved ice but I liked the ball of durian puree. It's pretty good quality. The shaved ice has the same flavour as durian ice cream from brands like Walls. The kind of quality from decades ago which I wouldn't waste money on even for nostalgia. Now we know.
I had imagined their durian egg puffs were filled with durian but that's not how they rolled that. Anyways, it's was enjoyable the same as those egglets were freshly made on order and the whipped cream layered velvety milkiness to the durian puree. That scoop of vanilla ice cream tasted retro and was totally unnecessary.
Osmanthus peach gum dessert was not bad. Pleasantly sweet and coconut-y with plenty of squishy peach gum bits.
Thick cheese toast was also not bad. Nice toasty cheese on warm fluffy bread that was light like J.Co's sugar glazed donuts.
The red bean paste was suppose to be their signature dessert. Pretty decent. Wouldn't mind having it again kind of decent.
