Matcha Garden opened up in October 2024 when we were on our honeymoon . I only got around to trying it with my groomsmen (coincidentally) over the weekend.

It was a little quiet on a Friday night during our visit 😬 though it was around an hour before closing.

The verdict? We enjoyed it. Our favourites in order were the matcha lava cake, hojicha tiramisu, matcha mont blanc and the matcha choux au craquelin.

Matcha lava cake $9.3 - rich lava cake blending matcha, served warm with creamy vanilla ice cream

The matcha lava cake gets the "not too sweet" accolade ✅. It was well balanced with the earthy matcha syrup.

Frankly, if this was a little bigger, it'd probably give Nobu's lava cake a good run for its money (Nobu's lava cake running very much on the sweeter side).

Hojicha tiramisu $8.8 - hojicha soaked ladyfingers infused with hojicha, layered with rich mascarpone, served in a wooden container

The second fave was the hojicha tiramisu. The common theme of "not too sweet" pops up once again. It was light, but still had a nice roasted, hojicha flavour.

Matcha mont blanc tart $9.2 - matcha frangipane base, topped with smooth chestnut cream and a hint of matcha

The matcha mont blanc had a nice contrast of textures. Nice hints of matcha.

Matcha choux au craquelin $8.6 - delicate choux pastry filled with a rich matcha cream, topped with a crunchy craquelin

The least favourite for the night was the matcha choux au craquelin. I'm by no means a pastry chef, but the serving we got was a little soggy - perhaps from absorbing humidity when it sat in the fridge. No crunchiness.

Overall, we enjoyed our visit and would return back.
