Azabu Sabo - Japanese Sweets, Eats and Tea
Somewhere, tucked in a corner of the ground floor at Central Mall, is a stylish Japanese eatery, the first of the lot to open its doors in Singapore.
Azabu Sabo’s done up quite zen-like, with simplicity and a valiant attempt at being authentic. However, the lovely glorious chandelier just spoils the simple beauty and little bits like the chinese-looking drawers lend a tad of confusion to the japanese cultural setting.
Nevertheless, the food’s there quite affordable and prettily set up for display. In fact, you can view almost the entire menu at their official site.
For that night my gang had the following:
Mixed Fruit Bowl
They have the sugar (brown / white) at the side, which is good cuz then people can moderate the sweetness of their dessert.
Matcha Zen
This was so devastatingly sweet that my friend, for all her sweet-tooth, could barely tahan it. The culprit? The red bean paste… Haha… I’ve never seen anyone eat a dessert with such determination.
An-Mitsu
This one looks quite delicious, and the soft ice cream they have isn’t as sweet as those we normally get elsewhere… They’ve got sugar (brown/white) on the side as well.
Black Sesame Milkshake
I’ve never in my life tried any black sesame desserts before, not even the famous 芝麻糊. Took a bit of this milkshake and hmmm I don’t think I like black sesame much. Too ticklish on my throat.
