I have been wanting to go to Ant One’s for the dessert buffet, but it is only available in the evenings, however when I walked past Kaneda, I saw the dessert buffet for only $98 per person including bottomless drinks.
There are a total of 22 desserts to choose from which is about the same as Ant One, however Ant One offers Chinese desserts as well. Although Kaneda doesn’t have Chinese desserts such as fried sweet dumplings, it was not a loss to me since I do not like Chinese desserts. The items that I wanted to try at Ant One were also available at Kaneda.
The desserts available were:
1) Chocolate cake with molten chocolate filling 2) Baked walnut cake 3) Italian cheese cake 4) Mango puff pastry 5) Green tea and red bean mousse 6) Strawberry pancake with custard cream 7) Ice-cream skewer 8) Serradura pudding 9) Creme brulee 10) Honey milk pudding 11) Apple crumble 12) Mango souffle 13) Mango pudding 14) Fruit profiteroles 15) Banana pancake with custard 16) Baked egg white with almond 17) Almond sorbet 18) Assorted cakes of the day 19) Chocolate milk pudding
20) Various ice-creams 21) Mango pancake with custard 22) Strawberry yoghurt mousse
23) Blueberry cheesecake nice sour berries 24) Mango cheesecake 25) Mango cake
1) Chocolate cake with molten chocolate filling
This was piping hot and the size of the ice-cream scoop and chocolate cake was super mini, it was slightly smaller than a tablespoon.
2) Baked walnut cake
This was not too sweet, nice and chewy, it was made of 90% walnuts and sweet syrup.
4) Mango puff pastry
This was layers of puff pastry sandwiched with custard cream topped with mangoes.
5) Green tea and red bean mousse - didnt try
6) Strawberry pancake with custard cream - Didnt try, but tried the banana pancake.
7) Ice-cream skewer - Didn’t try
8) Serradura pudding
This tasted like the usual serradura pudding, very creamy.

9) Creme brulee - This tasted how it should
10) Honey milk pudding - Nice and creamy but the taste of honey was light
11) Apple crumble - Nice, but too many raisins.
12) Mango souffle - My favourite, but slightly too sweet, there were small pieces of real mango fruit
14) Fruit profiteroles - Didnt try
15) Banana pancake with custard - The custard cream in it tasted fake and floury
16) Baked egg white with almond - Tasted ok.
17) Almond sorbet - This was my favourite, nutty with plenty of almonds and a rich cake base
18) Assorted cakes of the day
19) Chocolate milk pudding - didnt try
20) Various ice-creams - didnt try
21) Mango pancake with custard
22) Strawberry yoghurt mousse
Another one of my favourites, the strawberry flavouring wasn’t fake and it was refreshing with the yogurt ingredient.
23) Blueberry cheesecake
24) Mango cheesecake - Didnt try.
25) Mango cake
The desserts were served in tiny cups and dishes, there was a fresh plastic spoon every time, which not that environmentally friendly.
There were metal cutleries too, but the spoon couldn’t fit in the tiny dessert cups.
