We arrived at around 9pm for a sugar-fix, and decided to order cakes instead of ordering from the dessert menu as they looked really nice (albeit deceptive) and they were relatively small in portion - we had literally just eaten dinner so didn't have enough stomach-space!

We picked:
Moushou
I THINK this was the name... I think its a new product as its not on their website menu... I must say I did choose it because I love berries and the pink cake looked enticing. I asked one of the waiters what was inside, and he told me it was a yogurt mousse. I thought "sounds good" and said I'd take one.
First bite was just berries and cake so it was fine, nothing special. The pink is just from food colouring because it tasted like plain sponge cake. Then i got to the center, the sweetness was right...but something was wrong. I looked at the 'mousse' it had green bits...like herbs?! Then i tasted it again and this time i was sure it had herbs in it. I mean, it wasn't awful that I had to spit it out...it was edible but it was just very wrong. From the concept to the execution how did the pastry chef think herbs in a dessert would be good? And they were italian herbs - ones you would find in (savoury) foccacia or pasta.
The good points are that the berries were very fresh. I removed the 'mousse' and proceeded to finish the cake easily.
Berry Crumble Tart ($25?)
The tart was tiny. Like....comparable to the size of an egg tart but shorter/flatter. This was fine I guess seeing that they redeemed themselves by making them look appealing. However, on taste this was also quite a disappointment. Overall the taste itself was fine - sweet crumble, sour berry filling and a buttery crust but it fell on the texture. The crumble was not crumbly but a soft mess, easily dissolved in the mouth. The filling was fine except it just felt like a soft layer of tart jam. The bottom crust was the worst, as it was soft - the result of the filling being to 'wet' and since it was night it must've been sitting for hours and the liquid would've seeped through to the pastry base. They need to learn a little from Paul Lafayet because PL's version was the exact opposite!
All in all, a disappointing dessert experience. The place itself has a good concept and is very chill but they need to fix some of their cakes! I'm sure cheesecakes are good because they naturally hold well and taste better after hours of refrigeration but crumbles should be made fresh to order and their pastry base for their tarts were just bad.... Plus the finding of the herbs in the yogurt mousse is just wrong. I would come back for their dessert menu and perhaps savoury food, but no more weird cakes please!
