Edible art

They look like candles or soaps but NestBloom is an edible flower that 'blossoms' into a creamy bird's nest dessert. Forget hours of double-boiling, the blooms are pretty enough to bring to the dining table even. Each is colored differently according to its flavour - pick from original almond cream, almond cream with matcha, or rose.

Simply add a cup of hot water to a Bloom, and wait five minutes to savour this traditional dessert that recalls the warmth of a loving hug.

Each is priced from S$21. NestBloom is available at 13 Bussorah Street, till Nov 9, after which it is available for sale at nestbloom.com.
