Chinese custard bun / Black forest ice cream

Went back for more icecream at Lab Made because the flavours were worth trying and you cannot try them elsewhere.

I tried the Hong Kong custard bun and the other was Black Forest for Valentines.

Hong Kong custard bun:
I really enjoyed this one because there was real starchy egg yolk in the icecream just like their previous mooncake flavour that had lotus paste in it as well.
The taste was lovely and buttery as well.

Black Forest:
According to their FB, it has three scoops so that two people can share.

Anyway, as I did'nt ask about the price, I roughly estimated it to be around $90 because for the single scoop it costs around 3X - 4X.
When I got there, I found out that it only costed $69 which was cheaper than my estimate.
Overall, I felt that the chocolate icecream taste was more prominent than the cherries and jelly.
I would have liked it more if they had pieces of chocolate cake in it and more cherry sauce as it tasted nice at the bottom because all the sauce had sunk there.
The lovely cherry and jelly sauce that they put in the icecream.

Danish puff pastries at Taipan

I was really surprised to see danish puff pastries at Taipan because they rarely do Western bakery products, and even if they do, those pastries are guaranteed to taste Chinese style.

When I saw these, I decided to get them because they looked quite good for a Taipan attempt!

They were really cheap too at $10 for 3.

Strawberry danish puff:
The sweetness was just right with lovely sticky strawberry jam in the middle and there was custard as well.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Blueberry danish puff:
Out of the three, the blueberry tasted the best because the blueberry jam was nice and fragrant.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Peach danish puff:
The pastry was slightly thick for this one and the peach was slightly sour.
