I Tried Typhoon Café's New Mochi Soufflé in Singapore. Here's Which Flavour I'd Order Again

Some desserts taste good for the first bite and that's about it. Others keep surprising you until the plate is empty.

That's exactly what happened when I tried Typhoon Café's new Chewfflé Pancakes. At first glance, it looks like a classic Japanese soufflé pancake. Light, fluffy, and beautifully plated. But once my fork cut through the middle, warm, stretchy mochi slowly pulled apart beneath the pancake, turning an already soft dessert into something much more satisfying.

Singapore has no shortage of mochi desserts, from daifuku and mochi doughnuts to mochi croissants and ice cream. Yet finding one that balances flavour and texture this well isn't easy.

If you're wondering where to find a good mochi dessert in Singapore, here's what I ordered, my favourite flavour, and what I'd pair with it.

Why Mochi Desserts Have Become So Popular in Singapore

Mochi has been part of Japanese cuisine for centuries, traditionally enjoyed as a soft rice cake made from glutinous rice. While classic mochi remains popular, cafés across Asia have transformed it into something much more versatile.

Instead of serving mochi on its own, chefs now use it to enhance desserts by adding texture rather than simply sweetness. That's exactly why mochi works so well. Unlike cakes or pastries that rely mostly on flavour, mochi introduces another layer to every bite. It's soft, stretchy, slightly bouncy, and satisfying without feeling heavy.

Singapore's café scene has embraced this trend in a big way.

Today, you'll find everything from mochi cookies and mochi muffins to lava cakes with mochi centres. Some cafés tuck it inside croissants, while others pair it with gelato or soft serve. The creativity keeps growing because diners aren't simply looking for another sweet treat. They're looking for something memorable.

The Chewfflé fits perfectly into that trend. Instead of treating mochi as the main dessert, Typhoon Café uses it as the surprise waiting underneath an already excellent soufflé pancake.

The result feels playful without trying too hard.

What Makes Typhoon Café's Chewfflé Different?

Typhoon Cafe Tiramisu Mochi Soufflé Pancake

I've had plenty of soufflé pancakes before.

Most are wonderfully fluffy for the first few bites before they become repetitive. Once you've experienced the softness, there isn't much else happening.

The Chewfflé solves that problem. Every bite starts with an airy soufflé before the warm mochi gently stretches underneath. That contrast keeps the dessert interesting from beginning to end.

It's also lighter than it looks. Although the pancakes appear thick and indulgent, they never feel overly dense. The soufflé stays delicate, while the mochi adds enough substance to make the dessert satisfying without becoming overly filling.

What impressed me most wasn't simply the texture.

It was how balanced each flavour felt. Rather than overwhelming the pancakes with sugary sauces or excessive toppings, every ingredient had a purpose. The flavours complemented the soufflé instead of covering it. Whether you choose fruity, coffee-inspired, or tea-based flavours, the pancake remains the star.

I Tried All Three Chewfflé Flavours. Here's How They Compare.

Choosing between the three flavours wasn't easy because each one offers a completely different experience. Rather than asking which one is the best, I found myself asking which one I'd be in the mood for.

Strawberry Matcha Chewfflé

This was the first one I reached for because the combination sounded familiar.

Fresh strawberries bring brightness and a natural sweetness, while the matcha introduces an earthy finish that prevents the dessert from becoming overly sugary. The matcha isn't bitter. Instead, it quietly balances the fruit while letting the soufflé stay light and creamy.

The mochi layer ties everything together beautifully. Every bite begins with soft pancake before giving way to that warm, satisfying chew. If you enjoy Japanese-inspired desserts, this is probably the safest flavour to start with. It feels comforting, refreshing, and surprisingly balanced.

Best for: Matcha lovers and anyone who enjoys fruity desserts that aren't overly sweet.

Tiramisu Chewfflé

This ended up being my favourite.

I expected something rich and heavy, but it was the opposite. The coffee flavour is present without overpowering the dessert, while the creamy topping melts gently into the warm soufflé. The slight bitterness from the espresso balances the sweetness, creating something that tastes remarkably elegant.

Then comes the mochi. That chewy centre gives the dessert an entirely different personality compared to traditional tiramisu.

Instead of soft sponge cake, you get an airy pancake followed by a warm, stretchy bite that makes the whole dessert feel unique. If you're ordering only one flavour, this would be my recommendation. It's comforting, balanced, and memorable from the first bite to the last.

Best for: Coffee lovers and anyone who prefers desserts with balanced sweetness.

Earl Grey Mochi Soufflé

Of the three flavours, this was the most refined.

If you're someone who usually skips overly sweet desserts, the Earl Grey Mochi Soufflé is the one I'd recommend first. Instead of relying on sugar, it lets the tea do most of the work.

The soufflé is topped with a smooth Earl Grey tea mousse that's light and creamy without feeling heavy. A scoop of vanilla ice cream slowly melts into the warm pancakes, adding richness while allowing the citrusy notes of the Earl Grey to shine through. A dusting of Earl Grey powder finishes the dessert, giving each bite a delicate floral aroma.

Then there's the mochi.

Wrapped between the fluffy soufflé layers, the warm, chewy mochi adds the signature stretch that makes the Chewfflé so satisfying. It brings another layer of texture that works beautifully with the airy pancake and silky mousse, making every bite soft, chewy, and incredibly balanced.

The Earl Grey tea sauce ties everything together with subtle bergamot notes that linger pleasantly without overpowering the dessert. As the sauce mixes with the melting vanilla ice cream, the flavours become even smoother, creating a dessert that feels elegant from the first bite to the last.

This isn't the sweetest option on the menu, and that's exactly why I enjoyed it. The tea keeps everything balanced, while the vanilla ice cream and chewy mochi provide enough richness to make every forkful satisfying.

If you enjoy tea-based desserts or are looking for something a little more sophisticated than the usual chocolate or strawberry options, this is the flavour I'd happily order again.

Best for: Earl Grey lovers, tea enthusiasts, and anyone who prefers lightly sweet desserts with layered flavours.
