FOOD: The cakes and tarts on display outside the shop were really enticing. I ordered the mango and strawberry tart. The potion was quite small. The cream filling inside the tart was tasty. However, the fruits on the tart lacked any flavour. The mangos and strawberries didn’t really taste like anything at all, there was no sweetness to it. The ice cream serving on the side was average as well. SERVICE: Fast and efficient service from the service crew. I got my order within 10 minutes of ordering. AMBIENCE: Nice and cosy. Tables are spaced apart wide enough for a comfortable dining experience. PRICE: Expensive. After taxes and service charge, I paid around $15 for one small tart. Not recommended. Personally, I cannot recommend this place as the tarts are expensive for its size. Furthermore, while it looks aesthetically pleasing, the taste disappoints.

Ordered the smoke duck udon set, $16.90. It comes with 2 side dishes, pickled radish and mashed potato and a drink, mixed fruit tea. The duck was nice except that the portion was too small. Fruit tea drink was average. It would be better more bits of fruits added. Dessert Berry Frozen smores was actually caramelised marshmellow with vanilla ice cream and frozen berry at the bottom. Overall experience not too bad

If you’re craving for simple, lightly flavoured Japanese soup udon in a comfortable, non crowded place for lunch in Vivocity, this place is for you. The flavours are quite mild, even for the kimchi version. I tried the Aburi Chicken Soya Milk ($13.90) and Pork Shabu Kimchi ($12.90). If you order ala carte, the dishes come with a small appetiser, usually pickled radish, and a small potato salad. Between the two flavours, I prefer the soya milk base as it’s more fragrant and comfort food like. But perhaps at $13.90 it is just a little overpriced — the aburi chicken is quite small and I am always barely full after my meal. But I guess this is the price to pay for a more comfortable setting. Which is why their Matcha Frozen S’mores ($9.90) is a meal saver. Torched marshmallows on top a bed of alternating matcha and vanilla ice cream; scoop all the way and you get crunchy corn flakes. Super sinful and sweet but oh so worth the calories. Just remember to have this with a group of friends!

First time dining here. Not overly expensive and relatively healthy, tasty meal. We liked the main dishes and side dishes were nice too. Matcha dessert looked good, but maybe I'll not a connoisseur as was a bit strong for me. Would come back to try more of the menu.

Take the purple or yellow MRT line to Harbourfront station. Vivocity is located right above of Harbourfront MRT station. Enter the shopping mall, travel to the 1st floor towards the end of the mall facing Sentosa and you will be able to locate Fruit Paradise on your right. Fruit Paradise is part of Japan Food Holdings and they are known for light and flavorful fruit tarts in the size of a cake. Most of their tarts or cakes go for about SGD10 a slice. You won't go wrong with their wide selection of fruit tarts but unfortunately I tried their range of cakes and was not the least impressed. The palate for their cakes are a little too light for my taste. Their cheesecake is fluffy and soft but just isn't cheesy enough, even their tiramisu cake brings across too little profile of coffee and cocoa. At the same price, I would just go for their fruit tarts. Drinks menu is quite limited and in my opinion, just isn't worth trying. During my visit, I observed their service crew compromised of young teens who seems to be inexperienced and isn't familiar with floor service. I hope the manager at this outlet will train their staff to provide a better experience for diners.
