FROROLL
This dessert bar in Potong Pasir is opened by Ms Keely Wee, who was the runner-up during the second season of reality TV singing contest Campus Superstar in 2007.
The menu is divided into two sections: Back to Basics and Extravaganza.
Back to Basics is inspired by the traditional ice cream that is served in rainbow bread and features ice cream served in bread rolls such as the Caramel Sweetheart, S'moregasm and Rainbow Fantasy (all $10.80 each).
As its name suggests, expect fancier desserts under Extravaganza, such as the Volcanic Avalanche and Flowerpecker & Nest (both $15.80 each).
The Volcanic Avalanche is a raspberry molten lava cake topped with a Florentine cookie and vanilla ice cream within a chocolate layer shaped like a volcano.
Flowerpecker & Nest is made with three chocolate eggs filled with different desserts, including salted caramel ice cream, caramelised biscuits, chocolate mousse, cheesecake mousse and lemon curd. The eggs sit in a nest made of fried vermicelli and chocolate-coated pretzel sticks.
