It was a really hot day when we were exploring Serangoon Gardens one fine weekend afternoon, and we were craving for desserts. We wanted something cool to beat the scorching heat, yet not too pricey as we were saving up for upcoming expensive dinners. Hence, we were delighted to find a small dessert place called Dessert Bowl, which is located on the 2nd floor of a row of shophouses near the main cluster of supper places. We could even smell the scent (or fragrance, depending on preference) of fruits while walking up the stairs to the shop!
Perhaps one of the best durian mousse in Singapore, this Durian Mousse (S$5) tastes as good as it looks. This delectable dessert consists of silky durian mousse topped with a dollop of durian flesh, contributing to a heavenly mix of textures and tastes. The durian mousse tastes milky, thick and creamy with a pleasant slushie-like texture, while the durian flesh is not too sweet and provides a good taste balance with the durian mousse such that the dessert does not taste overly jelat. It tastes so good and balanced that I could literally clean off the whole bowl of durian mousse by myself!
The Pulau Hitam with Coconut (S$4.50) is a slight twist to the traditional dessert, topped with a scoop of coconut ice cream. The dessert is smooth on the throat, but could get a bit jelat due to the lack of contrast in taste.
We wanted to try the mango desserts, but we don't fancy sour mangoes. We would love to try the Mango Pomelo Sago and Mango Ai-Yu on our next visit!
If you are looking for a relatively affordable place to hang out after a meal or supper with friends, we highly recommend checking out Dessert Bowl for desserts. There are comfortable red sofas near the window where you can chill out with friends and watch people walk by while you enjoy your bowl of Durian Mousse. Definitely better than the usual waffles and ice cream in cafes!

Retro photos of Hong Kong along the stairway! These photos invoke nostalgic feeling indeed.
The interior of Dessert Bowl reminds us of Hong Kong, with street scene miniatures and photos on display and wooden tables that look similar to those in Hong Kong dessert shops. After all, Dessert Bowl specializes in Hong Kong style desserts such as Mango Pomelo Sago and durian desserts. For those who love fruits and are fans of Hui Lau Shan 許留山. you will be spoiled for choice with the variety of fruit desserts available on the menu.
Look out for the baby photo smiling at you on the menu!
During our visit, we were handed a card with the menu saying that the mangoes are sour today. Really love it when business owners pay attention to details like this in customer service!
