Guys like me think Japanese are sweet and seductive, but just in case your mind start wandering to those kawaii Japanese schoolgirls, let me just share with you that I am talking about food (I am a foodie, what else can I be talking about!?), but more precisely, their dessert. Making quite a buzz since its opening in Marina Square in the month of June 2006, Azabu Sabo, follows an original teahouse philosophy and serves authentic Japanese desserts. Its selection of desserts and Hokkaido Ice Cream, available for the first time in Singapore, has made itself especially popular with female clientele.
It is said that they directly imports the main ingredients from Japan, such as the top grade red beans, produced from Hokkaido, which are not overly-sweet. However, I beg to differ. I ordered by far the most popular and highly recognised Matchazen, or Green Tea Ice-Cream in a Bowl of Dumplings & Red Bean Paste, and was overwhelmed by the sweetness of the mushy red bean paste.
Thank goodness the strong bitter after-taste of the ice cream was able to neutralise it. The dumpling though tasteless was soft in texture and chewy, unlike those you bought off the supermarkets. Unlike the immaculate service that is found everywhere in the humble land of the rising sun, the service standards of this outlet was found lacking. The service staffs that day were mostly foreigners who did not seemed to have a good grasp of English. They had problems trying to understand my questions when I tried to find out more about the desserts, and they were particularly non-existent when I tried to settle the bill. What a pity though, if only they could import the sweet Japanese service culture as well.

I'm giving azabu sabo 4 stars solely based desserts and service. I have heard lots of bad reviews about their main courses so I don't think I am ever going to try them.
Desserts: The green tea sauce shaved ice ($8.90) was really good and refreshing. It contains red bean paste as well. Their soft-serve ice cream is not too sweet and has a smooth milky texture to it. The glutinous dumplings was perfect with the red bean paste.
Service: Even though we were only eating desserts, the waitress fills up our cups with green tea whenever it is empty.
I've been to azabo sabo more than once and I think it's a great place to have desserts.
I want to try their baked sweet potato with ice cream and hokkaido hot balls next!
