I simply can’t get enough of foods with oozy fillings like salted egg yolk, chocolate, matcha, custard, cheese, juice and so much more! Loads of the recent food trends seem to involve oozilicious pastries and desserts, with the incorporation of savoury items like dumplings as well.
Here’s a list of 20 oozilicious foods that you can find in Singapore, guaranteeing a burst of flavour with every bite.
1. Tsujirihei Green Tea Tart by 2am : dessertbar
Home-grown chef, Janice Wong, is one of the top female pastry chefs in Singapore. With several prestigious accolades under her belt, her creations at 2am : dessert bar are not to be missed.
The Tsujirihei Green Tea Tart ($20) is filled with luscious green tea fondant that oozes onto the plate. Paired with a yuzu calamansi jelly, the flavours blend surprisingly well on the palate.

2. Choux Puffs by KOKI Tamagoyaki
The KOKI Tamagoyaki take-away kiosk actually makes pretty good Choux Puffs. They are palm-sized and loaded with a generous amount of fillings.
From left to right, the Choux Puffs ($4.30 each) consist of Black Sesame, Coffee, Matcha and Bourbon Vanilla, available for takeaway. Trust me when I say that you should just get a whole box of these.

3. Cookie Butter Soft Serve w/ Mochi Burst by Stateland Cafe
I simply cannot get over the deep fried mochi donuts at Stateland Cafe that ooze salted egg yolk, raspberry and chocolate, respectively. New on the menu, the Cookie Butter Soft Serve with Mochi Burst ($15) features three mochi donuts with different fillings.
The donuts are chewy and served warm so that the fillings can flow out into a puddle on the plate. Totally irresistible!

4. Lemon Lava Cake by Vineyard at Hortpark
The Lemon Lava Cake ($14) at Vineyard at Hortpark is a refreshing and zesty alternative to the usual chocolate lava cake that we see on dessert menus. The cake itself is thick and chewy but once cut open, oozes a flow of smooth yellow lava.
For those who like tangy desserts, you’ll love the sourness of the lemon that cleanses the palate.

6. Traditional Roman Schiacciata by iO Italian Osteria
Cheese, cheese and more cheese.
The Traditional Roman Schiacciata (plain $7, stuffed $18) comes highly recommended. Sandwiched between the crusty bread is oozy, melted pecorino cheese and lots of black truffle.
While you’re at it, try the Rice Suppli’, Mozzarella Melting Heart ($9) which resembles an arancini ball made with beef, pork and mozzarella cheese. Pry it open watch as a generous amount of ingredients spills out, interlaced with cheese.

7. Marvellous Matcha by Ninja Cut
The Marvellous Matcha ($16) at Ninja Cut is a beautiful mess of flat matcha cake filled with a rich matcha fondant. The home-made fondant consists of white chocolate and matcha powder.
Topped with a creamy dollop of ricotta cheese and scoops of azuki beans, this dessert is easily one of the most oozilicious items on this list.

8. Organic Eggs Benedict by Common Man Coffee Roasters
There is no way I’m leaving out eggs benedict on the list because it’s my favourite dish that oozes a hearty filling. Famous for the brunch menu, Common Man Coffee Roasters’ Organic Eggs Benedict ($24) is the perfect dish for egg-lovers.
Organic eggs are carefully poached to achieve the ideal runny yolk when poked. Together with the braised ox cheek underneath, the flavour combination is excellent and the oozy yolk is wonderfully creamy.

The salted egg croissant has an authentic egg yolk taste with a smooth consistency. The filling is made from salted egg yolks, sugar and milk before the mixture is hand-sieved to give it the velvety texture. Make sure it’s warm when you have it!

11. Thai Green Tea Lava Toast by Meet & Melt
It’s not easy to make a good French toast with an oozy centre.
Meet & Melt strives to create not one, not two, but many different versions of this dish. Choose from flavours like the Thai Green Tea Lava Toast ($14.90) or pair your charcoal toast with ice cream.
The bread is a crispy thin layer and when cut open, the Thai green tea lava flows out like a river. It is quite a sight to behold. The taste of the Thai milk tea is stronger, with only hints of the green tea flavour, although the colour may lead you to think otherwise.

This is simply too much to resist. Cookies that ooze chocolate? Goodbye diet.
Kooks Creamery has a Signature Lava Cookie with Ice Cream ($8.50) that’s filled with warm oozy chocolate, so rich and sinful. The actual cookie is crumbly and soaks up the chocolate sauce.
Choose from the many flavours of ice cream available (I’d recommended something with vanilla) to pair with your warm cookie dessert.

14. Salted Egg Prata Bomb by Big Street Singapore
This is no simple salted egg dish and you will not be disappointed. The Salted Egg Prata Bomb ($6) at Big Street Singapore is definitely a new way of eating prata.
Get your camera ready as it bursts apart with a salted egg yolk filling. A pool of yellow goodness quickly forms around the plate and you should mop it up with pieces of prata. This is truly the bomb!

17. Rosey Wine Yummy Char Siu Bao by Victor’s Kitchen
The Rosey Wine Yummy Char Siu Bao 叉烧包 ($4.50) is part of the dim sum at Victor’s Kitchen that literally oozes char siu because of the generous filling.
The buns are so fluffy and soak up the sweet sauce really well. You can’t taste much of the wine but the char siu is pretty unbelievable.

18. Baked Custard Buns by Mouth Restaurant
I absolutely adore the Baked Custard buns ($5.80 for three) at Mouth Restaurant.
My first bite into these gorgeous buns and I was instantly hooked. The exterior is crispy, with bits of flaky pastry. Encased within is a warm custard filling, so rich and grainy that I couldn’t help myself.
No wonder this is a signature dish of the restaurant.
