I have heard great things about Le Goût, a tiny cake shop in Tai Hang, so I went to buy a few cakes for takeaway from them one weekend. Apparently the chef trained at L'Ecole Lenôtre, a highly reputable cooking school in France.(1) The Mille-feuille ($42) was accomplished. The three pastry layers were appealingly thick and crunchy, and the custard tasted delightful with a natural vanilla taste.(2) The Mont Blanc ($42) was aesthetically pleasing, with elegant patterns being made with the chestnut
(1) The Mille-feuille ($42) was accomplished. The three pastry layers were appealingly thick and crunchy, and the custard tasted delightful with a natural vanilla taste.
(2) The Mont Blanc ($42) was aesthetically pleasing, with elegant patterns being made with the chestnut purée. Fresh chestnuts were used to make the purée, which gave it a perceptible taste. There was some sponge cake in the middle, which could have been a tad more moist, but the cake tasted good overall.
(3) I also had a piece of Apple Crumble ($42). I liked the buttery crumble at the top, and the biscuit base had a nice texture too. The apple in the middle were cut into suitably-sized chunks and had just the right texture.
