Had a craving for dessert this afternoon but was too lazy to walk to Paul Lafayet. So thought would give this new stall a try.The stall was decorated in a pseudo-Japanese fashion with the owner / dessert maker busy making the cakes inside and a lady taking orders and selling at the same time. I ordered a "classic custard" and a "classic red bean" for my colleague.The cakes were made to order so it was a good 10 minute wait. It was okay as the alley was not too busy but imagine it would be
The stall was decorated in a pseudo-Japanese fashion with the owner / dessert maker busy making the cakes inside and a lady taking orders and selling at the same time. I ordered a "classic custard" and a "classic red bean" for my colleague.
The cakes were made to order so it was a good 10 minute wait. It was okay as the alley was not too busy but imagine it would be a bit crowded on weekends.
The cakes were pipping hot when I get them and I took it back to the office to eat as it was so hot. The first bite was uninspiring and fairly disappointing. The custard is very bland, it doesn't even taste sweet. The outer layer / cake was equally bland with only the taste of flour. You can't taste any egg or butter or sugar. Japanese sweets / cakes are not supposed to be like that.
The only comments from my colleage who has the classic red bean was that it was difficult to eat. When she bit on one side of the cake, the red bean fillings spilt out from the other side and vice versa. It did get a bit messy towards the end.
My colleague asked what I thought about the cake afterwards and I told her that I felt like eating HK$10.
The OK was given mainly because the cakes were freshly made and the lady selling the cakes was very courteous. And that it wasn't too much of a ripped off at HK$10. But I certainly would not go back again.
