New Summer Menu at 2am: Dessertbar

In 2023, popular late-night Singaporean eatery 2am: Dessertbar opened its doors inside W Sydney restaurant Btwn. The work of renowned pastry chef Janice Wong (twice named Asia’s pastry chef of the year by World’s 50 Best), 2am: Dessertbar is home to some of the most inventive and unforgettable sweet treats around. And with a seasonal menu that gets a facelift every couple of months, there’s a hell of a lot to look forward to this summer.

Four standout dishes have been crafted exclusively for the Btwn menu over the warmer months, blending 2am: Dessertbar’s signature Singaporean influences with native Australian ingredients.

Inspired by the Aztec history of chocolate, the Chilli Chocolate sees a spicy choc mousse paired with salted caramel, Malfroy’s Gold honeycomb and Pioik Bakery sourdough ice-cream. Meanwhile, the similarly chocolate-forward Snickers dessert pays tribute to the classic snack bar, combining the textures of caramel, peanut brittle, caramel-and-chocolate mousse with tonka ice-cream and delicate macadamia tuile.

Pandan fans will enjoy the crowd-favourite Green Garden dessert, which sees pandan-coconut ice-cream and coconut mousse elevated with meringue, pistachio crisp and pistachio sponge. And for a more refreshing option, look no further than the floral-inspired Strawberry Posy – with strawberry ice-cream, juniper berry sponge, pickled strawberries and springy lavender marshmallows.

2am: Dessertbar has also curated a menu of cocktail and non-alcoholic drink pairings for each of the new desserts – from the Sweet Fashioned, made with Red Mill Gold Rum, maple, wattleseed and aged vanilla bean, to the pandan-forward Emerald Essence, made with Lyre’s non-alcoholic American Malt, pandan, gula melaka (palm sugar), coconut, blue pea and desert lime.

The new menu is available now until early March 2025. Bookings are essential – reserve your spot today.
