📝 Overall review:
— Personally thought the appearance of the savoury items were much more creative but lacking a unique flavour profile.
— The tomato macaron was quite unique, but the goat cheese and sun-dried tomato combination was way too overpowering and clashed with the sweetness of the macaron shell.
— The standout of the savoury items was the foie gras terrine which was rich but not overpowering. Also nicely balanced with the acidity of the cherry gel and confit.
— The scones were quite good too! Freshly baked and served nice and warm to your table. They were buttery, and had a nice crumbly texture to them.
— Amongst the jam selection, their homemade plum jam was my favourite. It had a nice aroma and sweetness to it which differed a lot to the other jams they offered. It also went nicely with the clotted cream.
— The sweet selection was a lot more impressive in terms of taste. Each of the pieces had a unique flavour to it and they weren’t overly sweet.
— One of my favourites was the 100% Chocolate, made of a gluten-free chocolate sponge, Caraibe 66% creamux and caramelized cocoa nibs, this was insanely rich and decadent. Perfect for chocolate lovers.
— Another favourite was the Malibu run pineapple, super adorable appearance, this roasted coconut meringue is topped with a sweet and acidic pineapple confit and light malibu rum cream which really was a perfect match.
Overall rating:
😋Taste: Personally thought most of the items were quite average, and the portion size was very underwhelming. Also thought for the price, the plating isn’t particularly outstanding.
