While I was working in Hong Kong, Italian Tomato is one of my favorite choice of cake shop in the town. After visiting my old client in Nina Tower, my colleague brought me to this AEON. According to my colleague, not only the Tsuen Wan AEON store moved to this location, but also the name of store (changing from "Jusco" to "AEON"). Our arrival time was 2:50pm and the waiter reminded us that the menu will be changed from lunch to afternoon tea after 10 minutes (i.e., 3pm). Since my target is Japanese style cream cake, I don't mind waiting for another 10 minutes~ Okay, here's what we ordered: Banana crepes with coffee, and Pistachio cream tart with iced coffee. Both the iced and hot coffee tastes great, strong and rich in flavour. My iced coffee is absolutely great for the hot late summer afternoon.
Both the crepe and the cream tart look excellent. If you ask me to rank for the appearance, I will give 9 /10 points to them.
However, I would consider that the taste and condition of them still have lot of rooms for improvement. For the pistachio cream tart: This tart is layered by (from top to bottom) puff-like top, pistachio cream (melting in porcess), custard, sponge cake (a bit dry), and tart base (too dry and hard in texture). It is suggested to adjust / control the temperature and moisture level. However, the control of sweetness is good.
For the banana crepe: This crepe looks great and colorful. The cream is thick but soft and fluffy in texture. Banana is fresh and firm in texture. However, the crepe (skin) is dry and hard in texture. It make the over dish non-preferrable. It is suggested to adjust / control the moist level of the crepe (skin). Then, the dish will be almost perfect.
题外话/补充资料:
Although both of the crepe and cream tart taste below the average, the environment and beverage are quite preferable, especially in Tsuen Wan area.
