In case you haven't heard, A la Folie Pâtisserie is a cozy café and patisserie situated in the newly renovated MOKO (or Grand Century Plaza as they previously called it). Apart from their Japanese influenced pastries, the little café is also offering a small selection of salad, burgers and french toasts for a limited time.
Their hottest item has got to be the Sexy Lady, featuring creamy chocolate truffle wrapping around delectable raspberry sauce that was cooked in balsamic vinegar. It became the talk of town after local comedian Jim Chim Sui-man (詹瑞文) bought one for actress Charlene Choi (蔡卓妍)'s birthday.
But I decided to go a different direction starting with Le Matcha ($42) which features a nice blend of Valrhona chocolate, cointreau syrup, green tea and soy beans.
A la Folie Pâtisserie's Milk Tea Opera ($40) strikes a good balance of flavors between milk tea and coffee. It's a little sweeter than a typical opera cake but I like the eight layers creating a very satisfying bite.
This was way better than last time. I certainly won't mind coming back some other time.
