If you ask us, the desserts are probably the best reason to visit Nonette’s pop-up — especially the donuts.
There are only two options available, but both are equally delectable and have distinct charms that would appeal to different palates.
The kaya (S$4), in particular, features silky kaya cream that’s chockfull of fragrance, while having a kiss of salinity that adds depth to the pandan and keeps it from being too one-note or cloying.
However, Nonette’s chilli oil chantilly (S$4) is probably much more interesting — it uses lao gan ma in its glaze for that familiar mix of umami, heat and funk.
The magic is in the superlatively airy chantilly cream, which actually pairs wonderfully with the chilli oil and tones down the spice.
We don’t know how Nonette came up with this, but it honestly works really well!
Another uniquely Singaporean dessert you’ll find on the menu is the tau suan eclair (S$4), which features fragrant whipped mung bean inside and crispy fried you tiao on top for extra crunch.
If you’re hankering for some unique desserts and want a banh mi to go with it, head by Nonette for an after-work soiree — there are plenty of beats and vibes at Rasa Space to elevate your dining experience.
