Forget about your typical ice cream, waffles and tarts; THE dessert that you should be paying attention to is the classic sticky date pudding.
Warm, sticky and saccharine sweet; it is simply impossible to resist a plate of this ambrosial goodness. However, in Singapore, it isn’t easy to find places that serve up a solid plate of sticky date pudding.
Therefore, to help you, we’ve compiled a list of our top 10 favourite places in Singapore to get your hands on our all-time favourite dessert.
ALL THINGS DELICIOUS
This technically isn’t a sticky date pudding but we feel that it deserves to be on the list as it tastes exactly like one. The Sticky Toffee Pudding by All Thing Delicious is dense, moist and has just the nice amount of sweetness to it. Each serving of pudding is also drizzled with a copious amount of sticky toffee sauce that really completes the dessert.

ARTICHOKE CAFE + BAR
Artichoke Cafe + Bar dishes out some of the most sinful plates of sticky date pudding around. This aromatic mound of goodness is dense, warm and moist all at once and this is made even better by the moat of burnt milk and custard cream that adds an intense layer of sweetness to the overall dessert. We’d risk having a sore throat just for this!

GROUP THERAPY
The portion sizes here at Group Therapy are incredibly generous despite its affordable price point. Each portion of the pudding comes with a massive dollop of ice cream that begins to melt almost immediately upon serving due to the warmth from the pudding. This provides one with that lovely contrast of temperatures that make sticky date puddings so amazing.

HABITAT COFFEE
Some dub it as the best sticky date pudding that they’ve ever had and though we do not have the same claim, Habitat Coffee’s rendition is still one to try. We love how the addition of walnuts provides the dessert with an interesting crunch as well as a nutty taste.

ORIOLE COFFEE + BAR
Oriole Coffee + Bar’s sticky date pudding features a dense pudding sponge that is surrounded by a moat of warm, velvety toffee sauce. Indulgent, and we dare say, sinful, this dessert is finished with a huge scoop of fresh vanilla ice cream over top. The ice cream sparks a lovely contrast with the warm pudding and toffee sauce, giving you an interesting burst of sensations and flavours with each spoonful.

P.S CAFE
This is a classic and it probably needs no introduction at all. PS. Cafe has long been known to serve up one of the best sticky date puddings around, and we can only agree. This warm plate of pudding is always served at the perfect temperature and has a spot-on balance of flavours – definitely worth every penny!

PRIVE
Prive’s sticky date pudding is one of the best looking ones around and we love how despite it being so dense and moist, it does not come off as very heavy. The addition of walnuts also adds a nice bite to the desert and its nutty flavours complement the sweetness of the pudding.

THE LOKAL
Despite looking a little lacklustre as compared to the other sticky date puddings on this list, The Lokal’s version of it proves that looks aren’t always everything. The dessert has robust ginger notes that were further enhanced by the generous amount of caramel sauce that was drizzled all over it.

THE MARMALADE PANTRY
The Marmalade Pantry’s sticky date pudding is one of our favourites on this list and it is yet another classic that Singaporeans can relate to. We love how it is always consistent – served warm with a generous scoop of premium ice cream.

WIMBLY LU
Wimbly Lu’s sticky date pudding is essentially a moist sponge cake made with finely chopped dates drenched in a sweet toffee sauce and served warm. We appreciate how the sweet toffee sauce complements the fluffy sponge cake without being too overly decadent and sore-throat inducing.
