Unfortunately, I was on my way to an important meeting and I guess it will be impolite to bring along some dessert without offering them to my meeting partners. So I ended up waiting another week. This time it was their Mody Road shop that I managed to find time to pay a quick visit.
I knew exactly what I was looking for so I wasted no time asking for my server to wrap things up for me.
All for Red ($41), 5.5/10
I thought "All for Red" refers to a football team slogan (Liverpool?) but in fact it is a mousse cake with a raspberry theme.
The bright red cube was a collection of raspberry compote, cream, mousse and dacquoise. Fairly nice but the texture could have been a little more firm.
Earl grey and pear ($41), 6.5/10
Very lovely fragrance coming from the earl grey tea mousse which was coupled with chocolate and poached pear. I liked this one more.
The thing I like about Passion by Gérard Dubois is that they always come up with something new every 2-3 months. That was never the case for Paul LaFayet, Le Salon De Thé de Joël Robuchon and other pastry stores. No wonder it's slowly shooting up the ranks on my list.
