Expect to squeal over beautiful Japanese-French inspired desserts and hearty, savoury eats

What good is a pretty dessert if it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, right?
Thankfully, we found none of that at Kumoya — each item was plated like a work of art and tasted delightful to boot.
Previously Karafuru, the cafe has now been rebranded as Kumoya, which stands for a fluffy cloud house.
Its whimsical name is fitting of the bright and airy enclave, tucked away at Jalan Klapa.
Along with its refurbishment, Kumoya has launched a streamlined menu of Japanese-French inspired pastries and desserts, as well as savoury eats.
Worry not, the same dainty and colourful eclairs which catapulted the cafe to fame, is still available, though now in a petite size. All the better for trying out more flavours!
The savoury items are made with the same dedication accorded to the beautiful desserts and will leave you nicely satisfied.
Here are five items worth a try:
4. Tempura Soft Shell Crab, $18.90
The same soft and buttery pancakes found in the Karaage Chicken dish is used in this rendition of Tempura Soft Shell Crab, offering a pleasant contrast to the crunchy tempura battered soft shell crab.
On the side, you’ll find cereal crunch nori and mixed salad to complement the dish. The brûlée pineapple also offered a hint of tangy flavour.
