Clifford Turning your usual apple pie on its head, Apple Tarte Tatin is a very classic French pastry, baked upside down with sweet apples that have been caramelised in butter and sugar. At Clifford, the modern French brasserie at The Fullerton Bay Hotel, they serve up this classic just the way it was intended; simple and sweet, with a perfectly...

Chez Gado Gado The Black Forest Pudding at Chez Gado Gado is inspired by the famous gateaux, but it is a very different version to the classic – and we think it’s even better. It has all the key elements of your usual black forest dessert, like the chocolate, the whipped cream and the intense flavours of black cherry, but...

Biku The signature Pavlova at Biku’s tea lounge-cum-dining room is one that keeps guests coming back more times than they’d like to admit. Pavlova’s are done best when they are kept simple, and that’s exactly how this Australian favourite is served here. Made up of just a few ingredients, a light meringue crust comes smothered in fresh whipped cream and...

Cafe Degan If you’ve never heard of this traditional German dessert before, don’t worry, neither had we until we were completely blown away by it at Café Degan, the rustic Indonesian café on Jalan Petitenget. The cake consists of three key parts: a whipped vanilla cream in the middle, a sandwich of moist, vanilla sponges, then finally, a crunchy coating...

Big Fish Bar & Grill As fun and funky as the restaurant itself, the Baked Lime Tart at Big Fish Bar & Grill brings together the signature characteristics of a true baked tart, then peps it all up with some piquant lime flavours. And considering the restaurant is the poolside eatery at The Stones Hotel, these piquant notes are very...

The St. Regis Bali Resort Available at the resort’s sophisticated beachfront signature restaurant Kayuputi, Carrot & Lime reigns supreme on the special ‘‘Dessert by Flavor’’ menu designed by the award-winning culinary team. Inspired by the traditional English carrot cake, the natural sugars within the carrots create a sweet, yet healthy alternative for wellness enthusiasts in search of a little guilt-free...

Sakala Known for its gorgeously presented cuisine that mimics modern art, Sakala cooks up some stunning desserts that we can’t get enough of. Although we always go back for Executive Chef Frédéric Boulay’s “7 Ways Chocolate”, it is his “Bounty” dessert that we want to highlight here. Creamy, crunchy and superbly layered; a long bar of Guanaja chocolate is topped with...

Gusto Gelato & Caffè After hearing on multiple occasions that Gusto’s serves up the best ice-cream on the island, we just had to try a few scoops. And ever since we got our first taste of their fiery chilli chocolate flavour, we can’t help but agree with the masses. They serve up a number of delicious gelato varieties, like rum...

The Shore Restaurant & Bar at Grand Nikko Bali For Pastry Chef Katarina Sari at Grand Nikko Bali, the perfect dessert must have three textures to complete the palate: soft, crunchy and cold. So unsurprisingly, her Milk Chocolate Cheesecake served at The Shore Restaurant & Bar does just that, and we can’t get enough of it. It is a playful...

Cocoon Beach Club A decadent twist on everyone’s favourite ice cream sandwich, Cocoon’s Baileys Ice Cream Sandwich adds a touch of hedonism to the classic treat with Bali coffee flavoured marshmallows and generous dollops of homemade plum compote. Real cocoa nibs utilised in the chocolate cookie crust add a grown-up flair that balance the creamy vanilla ice cream. (www.cocoon-beach.com)
