Sinmei Tea...I learned about this place a few years back on Openrice. So curious that I have to come here to check it out & afterward I just keep on coming again & again. For one, I just can't resist on their matcha dessert & drinks. Also, the small & cozy environment (well...may be not at the busy hour!) But at least people can just chill with no one disturb.I'm really honored to be invited to this friends gathering by Lemon Tea! Met a few friends like IVY, Moanna & Missjans.Let's start our ma
I'm really honored to be invited to this friends gathering by Lemon Tea! Met a few friends like IVY, Moanna & Missjans.
Let's start our matcha journey from drink:
The popular drink usually are Matcha Soul, Matcha Show White. This time I would like to try something different. Matcha & hot chocolate is a nice combination. I don't know why it took me so long to try it! It served hot with wipped cream on top. It has a strong matcha & chocolate aroma.It first came with matcha flavor in my mouth then chocolate flavor came afterward. I think this drink is perfect for winter!!
I would never get bored with this matcha angle cake!! The quality of this cake is consistent, which is fluffy, light & moist every time I eat it. The light green matcha cream & those osmanthus sprinkle on top make the cake looks more delicate.
The matcha cheese cake is another matcha item on menu that I would order again & again. Buttery biscuit base with strong matcha flavor cheese cake. Compare this to the matcha cheesecake of Teakha, Sinmei Tea one is more solid. But it's not too hard that it'll break your fork!
The first time I ate this banana toffee cake was the small piece inside the afternoon tea set. Last time I ate it, I felt the cake was a bit dry on its own. This time it served up together with vanilla ice cream!! Tasted so much better with ice cream! The banana toffee cake was moist & soft.
The matcha loaf cake was a bit not up to standard this time. It's a bit dry, but still with strong matcha flavor though.
Matcha feast!!!! Full table of cakes & drinks! After some cakes & drinks, we were still craving for some more matcha!! So, we ordered the matcha lava cake.
It's still the most delicious matcha lava cake I have eaten anywhere so far!!!! The matcha lava inside the cake just oozed out from the center when we cutted it opened. The cake has a crunchy exterior. It's perfect to go with the vanilla ice cream!NEW ITEMS!!!
Sinmei Tea now offers another flavor for the lava cake. Hojicha is roasted green tea flavor. Same with the matcha version, it's served up with vanilla ice cream. When we cutted it open, the hojicha lava in the middle didn't oozed out immediately like the matcha one. The texture of the hojicha lava was thicker. In term of taste, the flavor of hojicha was there, but still I prefer to the original matcha version!
They also offers the loaf cake in hojicha flavor too! In the contrary of the lava cake, I love the hojicha version of the loaf cake more than the original matcha one. May be it's because the matcha loaf cake was a bit dry this time. The texture of the hojicha loaf cake was soft, moist & strong in hojicha flavor! When it first served up, it looks like chocolate loaf cake though, 'cause it's in brown color! haha..We were pretty full after all this. BUT!!!! Out of the sudden, we saw Matthew!!!!!! We were all so stars trucked!! Matthew is actually engineering graduate turned pastry chef. He consigns his own pastries sometimes at Sinmei Tea. If you are lucky, you will meet him in person & try his pastry!
SPECIAL ITEM!
Chocobananamel means chocolate x banana x caramel. The cake consists of hazelnut feuillentine, choc sponge, banana caramel, 40% milk chocolate mousse, Caramélia ganache, coffee crumble, Frangelico jelly and chocolate leaf. Such a beautiful creation!! It's in strong chocolate flavor, a hint of banana flavor came through in the caramel. The size of it was pretty small, looked very delicate!
It's really a nice gathering with some new friends. Hope more gatherings are coming up!
