With Effect from 15th May 2007, Helio Café would not be handling walk-in customers and all meals has to be in Made-To-Order. We will still be holding certain events here but majority will be held at Eden Café.

Situated at 54 Club Street, Eden Café will be a sanctuary for many. Out of the food and drinks that are found in the menu, 75% of it will be floral cuisine, dessert and drinks. Items like Hibiscus Cheese Filo, Hibiscus cheesecakes, Osmanthus Crème Brulee, Orchid Pasta, Flora Wine Tea else, these are some of the items that you will find without pre-booking in advance.

However, if you still would like to challenge us to creating special made to order meals, to suit your taste buds we are more then happy to oblige. Of course, I believe those who have ordered such meals will know it has be pre-booked minimum two days in advance.

We will keep all our friends and customers updated on the latest development of this new location. So look out for our latest update.

Thanks for all the support that all of you render, we will see you at EDEN CAFÉ in the near future.

Cheers

Poached Pear in Red Wine.
These 21 pieces Peckham pears are specially selected and is poached in three bottles of wine mainly Pinot Noir, Camernia, and Cab. Sauvignon. It has been poached with dried Apricots on 1st Dec and soaked till now to get the full favour of the wine onto the pears. Eaten warm with apricots and ice cream.

Xmas Pudding with Vanilla Sauce.
Fruits cooked with 5 liquor, Guiness, Brandy, Whisky, Rum and Cointreau. After which is made into a pudding and is eaten warm with a vanilla sauce.

Hibiscus Cheese wrapped in Filo Pastry
All that have tasted Strawberry Cheese Filo have been asking me to make it a permanent item. Therefore, we created another new dessert based on the same concept. It is eaten with a Raspberry Sauce.

I think one of the most suitable time to launch Pudding is during Xmas. Let the Aroma, the warmth and the freshness of the pudding warms ones heart and create the perfect Xmas feel.

Instead of the usual pudding, we decided to create 5 kinds of pudding for xmas. Basically is Salak ( snakeskin fruit) pudding, Apricot Pudding, Chocolate Pudding, Mango Pudding and lastly Banana Pudding. Hope there is one pudding to your liking and hope to see you guys really soon.

Cheers

Thanks for all the support and Helio Cafe once again has been featured. We will continue to come up with more special receipes so as not to disappoint you. Have a cheery day everyone.

It is quite a thrill to see Helio Cafe appearing again on the media and this time is Shin Ming Daily News. Furthermore as a teaser on the front page that leads reader to the actual page. I was so glad and happy all day long..hehe..thanks for the continuous support everyone.

It was a great night for me being an invited Guest Chef for Marina Mandarin Singapore. I was delighted to see some of my ideas and receipes being presented on the buffet table like my Flora Jello, Flora Fondue, and most important my Flora Orchid Pasta which I am doing it on the spot there.

At first, many are sceptical and fearful, but when they start to taste the dishes, they keep coming back and within a flash my pasta was moving really fast. It was quite an experience to be explaining the dish while trying to cook the pasta. I was lucky to have Cheng my apprentice with me to assist me.

The biggest joy i have was to be called onto the front of the stage with the Head Chef Paolo and chef Eric and being introduced as the culinary team for the night. I was so glad but i cant open my eyes to for the photo shoot as there is a spot light shinning at us...hahhaha...

Anyway, it was a nice and wonderful night spend together with Kelvin my nephew, my partner Raymond, and my two apprentice Cheng and Ming. Hope this event will open up more opportunities for helio cafe.

A sampler set has been launch which consist of 4 kinds of Jello, mainly Pu Er Jello, Lavender Jello, Osmanthus Jello and Lily Citron Jello. All the Jello are served with yogurt and top up with either osmanthus flowers or strawberries.
