    Our group of 6 was hankering for something sweet after dinner, so we got here just before 9pm and…read morelo and behold, it was jam packed! Though it's pegged as a dessert house, I was surprised to find lots of savoury meal options as well. But savoury wasn't on our minds this fine evening, we wanted to try some desserts that, for some may have been considered unusual or different, and for others reminded them of home. I guess for me it was a bit of both. I am usually a mango junkie (and yes there was an entire section of the menu dedicated to the best fruit in the world) but I opted for a hot dessert in the form of black sesame glutinous rice balls with sweet ginger soup. It was my first time trying it and instantly loved it! It's quite noisy inside so you'd have to speak with a bit of volume to be heard. But it's a good venue for groups, especially if y'all don't feel like going home early (they open late).

    Weird and wacky dessert lounge worth a visit just to step out of your comfort zone a bit and try…read moresomething new and interesting (even if that is "interesting" in inverted commas). For me that thing was deep fried milk. It was way better than I expected it to be. There were a few other strange wobbling desserts on the table I didn't enjoy as much, but was still worth taking the plunge. Service is that non-existent level where it feels like you're annoying them by being there, but you get a bit of that around Box Hill!

    Loved this place! The room is cozy and cool, the staff…read morehelpful and efficient and the desserts.... Well.... ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! We popped by before the theatre, even though we had a reservation for after, just to check it out... As we got a table, we had the first desserts of the evening, the mango Alphonso and the tarte Tatin - amazing! We didn't cancel our reservation and came back for the raspberry field and the choc terrarium... Heaven on a plate! Don't miss it!

    Om Nom is the perfect name for this place because whilst there, all i could think about was Om NOM…read moreNOM NOM ! As soon as you walk in to the boutique hotel Adelphi, you sense the personal and fun touches. The lolly jar and lolly bag in reception, swinging chair in the lobby and wire horse installation. Walking past the reception desk and ahead to the host stand marking the start of the dessert bar you are greeted by friendly and professional staff. We told them that we have no reservation and are hoping for an empty table ( it was a weeknight) staff threw a comforting "no problem" and whisked us inside. I can only describe the staff as sleek. they are fast, smooth, friendly and professional. Just the right amount of greet and chit chats. having sampled the Mont Blanc and Tarte tartin at the Yelp event, we opted for Smoked Banoffee, Strawberry fields, and Cendol with a side of Adelphi rose cocktail. My advise is to gulp that cocktail before you eat because after all that sweetness the cocktail starts to taste bitter hahahah The Strawberry field is my fave, with strawberry gelato for mushroom head and marshmallow for the stem, lychee, raspberries and the surprise rosewater sphere that pops in your mouth ( or your fork). It tastes like perfume but with cool texture! The smokey Bannoffee is very very strong, our waiter tells us it is the dessert that divides diners. Love it or hate it. the flamed liquor leaves a thick woody flavour and the dish comes with popcorn, salted caramel syringe, ice cream, choc ball. HOW DO WE EAT IT???? however you want, they say..... The cendol is the only one that I could do without but was enjoyed by my partner. a small choc bowl holds the gula jawa, coconut type pudding and cendol balls. They sit on top a mango pudding. If you close your eyes, you have all the taste of Cendol but it's so bloody confusing for your eyes!! Would we go back? yes I'd like to try the other desserts and perhaps the high tea, if you plan to visit, the degustation is a good idea, $49pp for 3 small version desserts ( all you need). and it looks like each person can choose their own 3. Super!! just thinking about it makes me go Om Nom Nom Nom
