Located at the back street of Timesquare, 沛公甜品 Dessert Playground was comparatively more quiet than the mainstreets by the time we arrived around 8:30pm on a weekday’s night. Apparently there was no customer inside the cafe when we first arrived, so we freely sat down on a comfortable seat. The interior of the cafe was pretty refreshing, with desserts displayed behind the glasses at the sides of the café, there were all kinds of crepe cakes, pudding, mochi, to name but a few, so that you could c
The interior of the cafe was pretty refreshing, with desserts displayed behind the glasses at the sides of the café, there were all kinds of crepe cakes, pudding, mochi, to name but a few, so that you could clearly scan over your choices of food with just a glimpse behind the glass.
Durian Mille Crepe (Marks : 9/10)I suppose this should be the signature dessert of the café. Well it didn’t disappoint me at all even I was not a Durian Lover origianlly. Not only had it perfectly brought out the Durian flavor in a genorous manner, but the overall texture of the crepe was well spot on. Every layer of crepe was very thin merged with cream in between. It was so thin that you could hardly count the number of layers totaling in the crepe. The cream was well portioned. What’s more, I was truly impressed with the handcrafts, meticulous details displayed on this piece. The sweetness was well balanced with the milky cream and the freshness of Durian. Thumbs up for the Durian crepe here!

The mango sweet rolls were clearly far below my expectation. In terms of mango amounts, it was fairly ample enough. However in terms of sweetness and textures, it was totally below average. For a sweettooth like me, it was totally not sweet enough, the outter layer was tasteless with no sense of texture in every bites. The combination of mango and pure cream simply didn’t stood out. It could probably be improved with some flavourful toppings or fillings.

The term ‘Nachos’ was the thing that captured my attention and urged me to order it. Served in a hot plate with crispy chips and mashed Durian generously poured on top, it was a nice snack and indeed very appetizing. The combination was simply fresh and definitely could get you eating pieces by pieces nonstop.

We waited 15 mins for the deep-fried spring rolls, an interesting culinary method to taste durian. For Durian lovers, it will certainly serve the purpose. However the Durian fillings and the concentrated flavors were simply too much to intake, tasted more than rich for me. I like the idea of deep frying durian though. Afterall, desserts are all about innovations to give wow factors to sweettooths like me.

Another highlight of the meal, Crème Brulee was definitely flavor-wised right on the spot. I especially liked the thin caramel piece on top and when you dig into the crème brulee, you will get spoonfuls of Durian which perfectly matched with the original creamy texture and so is the flavor of crème brulee itself. Would definitely return for it, even I am not a Durian lover.

Served with boiling heat, the last dish was quite welcoming with its great aroma and heat. Acidity of the pear was perfectly paired with the moistures and soup inside the bowl. I didn’t sense any red wine, yet the great sweetness of the soup was refreshing and palatable. The combination was well matched overall and gave my stomach great comfort and satisfaction before the end of my meal.
