Went for dessert after lunch in Central. This place brings back good memories of when I did my internship in the MOHK Pastry Kitchen. The fact that I came back for more cakes even after eating them for 4 months continuously, shows how good they taste and how much I miss them Was there with two other friends. We ordered 3 cakes to share: Opera Cake, Double Milk Chocolate Cake and Cheesecake ($37 each). I really appreciate their Opera Cake - so many layers in such a small piece of cake! However, I
Was there with two other friends. We ordered 3 cakes to share: Opera Cake, Double Milk Chocolate Cake and Cheesecake ($37 each).
I really appreciate their Opera Cake - so many layers in such a small piece of cake! However, I feel that (even in small quantities) this cake is a little too sweet for my liking. The taste of chocolate is as rich as I like it, almost bitter. There were also layers of crunch which was really nice. Its taste of coffee was very strong - a little too strong for me. Nonetheless, great texture (smooth and crunchy) ... would be great for those with a very sweet tooth and a coffee lovers!
This has always been my favourite MO cake! I like chocolate desserts and this fulfills all requirements! So pretty on the outside with a glossy chocolate glaze topped with gold bits! The inside is also a beautiful combination of browns. I like how this cake isn't overly sweet but still very rich in chocolate. The texture is also crunchy and not too soft. I'm not a big fan of mousse cakes so the thick layers of cake in this slice was perfect paired with the chocolate cream
I didn't try the cheesecake but according to my friend, it was very cheesy. He would've preferred it to be sweeter than what it already was. In terms of the cake shop itself - really regret not taking pictures of the cake displays! All so beautiful and delicate, made by talented pastry artist of MO. The interior was dark but grand, with a small number of seats on a bar-like table surrounding a big decorative centerpiece. Spacious and comfortable, the physical setting is perfect for a nicer dessert experience with friends.
The service was excellent too. Everyone was nice and friendly, all were females. It was great that they offered to serve us water with the cakes, and the water was totally cold enough! They are also able to remember your orders without writing them down, very important for a 5 star hotel like this. Great!
And the price is expensive for a piece of cake, but normal for a 5 star hotel. I guess the whole experience is worth it, but not if you are only going to buy the cake to eat home. But of course, eating there would mean another 10% service charge.
