A few days ago when Lady M Hong Kong first announced that they would be launching not only one but two new cakes this month, I decided to immediately go and check out both new creations. But my mission was an unsuccessful one as I was told that the official launch would be some time later this week. So, I waited all week and finally got my chance when we are in Causeway Bay this weekend.
It was raining pretty heavily so yeah, it was no fun waiting outside Lady M's Fashion Walk branch. The wait lasted about half an hour and finally, we did get our table before little nugget started to whine about it.
There we have it, the two new cakes - Taro Mille Crêpes, which is yet another new member to their Mille Crêpes family (lower left corner) and Whisky Dark Chocolate Mousse (upper right corner).
Before we started working on our main courses (our cakes), let's start with some drinks and savory bites first. For me, it was a beautifully decorated hot chocolate to start off the meal.
Spinach cheese omelette with mushroom sauce - Despite being a Lady M fan for so long, I have never had their savory dishes before. This was pretty tasty with the spinach, parmesan cheese, white button mushroom and Shimeji mushroom all working well with the egg omelette.
Little nugget couldn't stop eating them.
Aglio Olio - The spaghetti was tossed with garlic oil and red chili flakes. I thought it was a little heavy handed with chili and spices. Just a bit too much heat but it wasn't bad at all.
Linguine with classic tomato sauce - I originally thought it was a spaghetti Bolognese based on the photo on the food menu but turned out it was just linguine tossed in tomato sauce, with grilled cherry tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, pesto and parmesan. A decent pasta dish that I thought could be better.
Taro Mille Crêpes - Having tried all the different flavors of Lady M's mille crêpes including original, matcha, earl grey, rose, pistachio, coconut, pistachio and marron, I can't believe I'm still very much looking forward to this new flavor.
The delectable Taro Mille Crêpes is layered with crushed taro and taro-infused pastry cream, topped with a pile of taro pastry cream and crushed pistachios. It's not as sweet as some of the other flavors but I was expecting the taro flavor to be a little more pronounced.
Whisky Dark Chocolate Mousse - This cake surprised me a little with its unusually complex flavors. I expected rich but didn't expect the combination of honey, citrus and ginger in the whisky. The various texture of chocolate was really nice too. Dark chocolate whisky mousse, milk chocolate whisky mousse, chocolate sponge cake and dark chocolate feuilletine, complemented nicely by a thin whisky jelly and orange zest in the middle. A very nice pleasant surprise.
