Souffles that will impress your eyes and taste buds
Anyone who bakes will know how difficult it is to successfully make a souffle. Whether it’s dealing with temperamental whipped egg whites, or the fear of your airy souffle collapsing before it gets to the table, it’s safe to say this French dessert requires immense finesse. Though not all of us are blessed with next-level baking skills, we can still enjoy this fluffy treat at various restaurants. Here are 10 souffles that taste as impressive as they look.
1. Matcha Souffle
Miam Miam‘s Matcha Souffle ($11.80++) is great for green tea lovers. A touch of matcha powder in this dessert gives it a light, earthy taste. Unlike many indulgent chocolate souffles, this one has a more delicate flavour that won’t overwhelm your taste buds after a meal. If you aren’t a huge matcha fan, Miam Miam also has other flavours, such as Vanilla ($9.80++), Kuro Goma (black sesame) ($10.80++) and Valrhona Chocolate ($13.80++).

2. Fuwa Fuwa Hoshino Souffle with Porcini Risotto
If you fancy savoury food more, Fuwa Fuwa Hoshino Souffle with Porcini Risotto ($16.80++) from Hoshino Coffee is basically a meal in souffle form. “Fuwa Fuwa” means “fluffy” in Japanese, and this airy, eggy souffle sure lives up to its name. Under a pillowy cloud of whipped eggs is a warm bed of tasty mushroom risotto that you can happily tuck into.

3. Durian “Royale” Souffle
It may seem almost contradictory to have “durian” and “light” in the same sentence, but DB Bistro & Oyster Bar manages to bring the two together with their Durian “Royale” Soufflé ($18++). It comes with a scoop of refreshing mangosteen sorbet on the side to balance out the flavours and textures. Durian lovers will enjoy the distinct taste of this Mao Shan Wang souffle without finding it too jelak.

Macadamia Soufflé ($34++ for two people) from Osia is one of the fancier souffles you can find. This sophisticated souffle comes with crunchy praline, smooth banana custard and sour cream ice-cream.
