Who? My parents
Food Style? Dessert
Honestly this place makes me so happy. The menu changes quarterly to reflect the seasons and whatever fresh fruit is currently available, and that only serves as a bigger incentive to go there multiple times over the course of the year to see what's on offer. Limited time events at its finest. I'm back with my parents, who, despite not being big dessert fans, almost always have a good time here.
My Choice
Apple: Brown butter, prune, toffee
Full of great traditional flavours: spiced apple, brown sugar, dates and great textures and crunch that bring out the main fruit. A really nice and warming dessert that hits the soul.
Dad's Choice
Triple Chocolate: Hazelnut, grapefruit, graham cracker
Decadent and rich, chocolate is well celebrated with a variety of interesting flavour combinations and textures: soft, moist, crunchy, silky, gooey. The chocolate spaghetti was a fun addition on the plate, but in reality it was just chocolate piping. A real work of art and a lot going on here. It was my favourite of the three desserts we ordered.
Khim's Choice
Citrus: Pistachio, elderflower, mascarpone
Well balanced tart and bitter flavours, with some clear citrus notes present only in the second spoonful I had. I thought the meringue added a good amount of sweetness and texture. Quite reminiscent of Muse's Textures of Mandarin dessert that they won from Wellington on a Plate 2014.
