I’m basing this quick review of the Ship Restaurant’s cream puff with reference to Goodwood Park’s.
Among the hotels in Singapore, i haven’t come across any that makes a better cream puff than Goodwood Park’s (let me know if you have – i’m a big sucker for cream puffs). GP bakes light and fluffy ones that are generally quite fresh. A dour, or worse, a soggy cream puff is an absolute disappointment.
However, The Ship Restaurant’s are just as good, if not better. The homemade pastry is crisper, and fuller than Goodwood’s. If you prefer a lighter dessert, go for Goodwood’s, if not try out Ship’s. Moreover, the cream in the former is not too sweet but very creamy. Either way, it fills your mouth and you leave lunch feeling happier and pleased with yourself.
These puffs are available with the set lunch only on tuesdays (have to confirm that), but they are oh-so-fresh when served. Recommend you begin lunch anytime from 12 – 1, where these pastries are ‘just right’.
As with any cream-filled pastry, it can’t be kept past two days if you decide to take it home. So please, don’t delay personal gratification in this case.
And given the excellent and homely service at The Ship, you have absolutely no excuse for not dropping by:
THE SHIP RESTAURANT AND BAR:
Shaw Centre
#04-34/36,
1 Scotts Road S(228208)
I unreservedly give its cream puffs a 5/5.
p.s. i’ve been a loyal customer all of my life, even while still in mummy’s tummy.
