Look around. Is anyone following you? No one?

Quietly make your way to Indulgence, the new pastry/dessert store at Katong Mall.

A word of warning, be sure to leave your conscience at home.

Indulgence opened on Mar 1. The shop front’s attractive and bright colours of orange and black, makes it hard for you to miss this shop once you’ve stepped out of Cold Storage Katong Mall. The shop is small, and basically caters more to takeaways and deliveries rather than dine-in customers.

With the lengthy menu of scrumptious-sounding desserts, you’ll be at a loss as to where to start. Lucky for you, UrbanWire’s giving you our ‘die-die-must-try’ list!

Recommendations

Vanilla Crème Brulee ($5.90) The burnt caramelised sugar forming the top layer of the Vanilla Crème Brulee will definitely entice anyone to devour this innocent looking dessert. This sinful piece immediately coats the surface of your tongue with its smooth, soft texture and sweet taste with a slight hint of coffee flavour. Initially, it might seem too sweet, but trust me, a few more bites and you’ll get used to the taste. There are more than enough bites to savour, the portion of the Crème Brulee might actually be little too big. 

.

Macarons ($2.30) The colours of these macarons are so vibrant that there’s no way you could miss them. These sandwich-like pastries don’t crumble easily, unlike the Macarons from most other bakeries and patisseries. However, what remains unchanged is the almost-overwhelming sweet taste. If you want something less sweet, give the Salted Caramel one a try. Upon first taste, you’ll be able to distinguish a tinge of saltiness accompanying the sweet caramel.
Profiterole ($2.50) Despite the lauded Valrhona chocolate that coats the top of the profiterole’s choux pastry, and the chocolate cream filling the puff, this pastry makes only an average chocolate dessert. Its taste mirrors a chocolate puff/éclair very well, with the only difference being that it’s definitely much bigger. That said, despite its size, the taste is nothing special.
Pumpkin Meringue Pie ($5.90) With beautiful swirls of sweet meringue and a thick pastry crust of pastry, this will see you will fall in love with it at first sight. But don’t be deceived by its dainty beauty. The meringue is actually wickedly sweet, and overpowers the flavour of the pumpkin paste. Be prepared to slave through almost-sickening sweetness to finish this sugary pie.

Indulgence. As its name suggests, you’ll be indulging yourself with very sweet desserts and pastries. If you’re diabetic or very health-conscious, this place will be a no-no for you.
