Patisserie Uriwari 瓜破 (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

This was the second time in two months I came calling Patisserie Uriwari. Still remembered last month, I had my very first experience with this online cake shop and it was one that had made a strong impression on me. Thought their cake was solid although the one we picked carried a little too much acidity. 

So I decided to give them another chance for redemption, this one for mom's birthday. Mom has always been a huge fan of chestnut cakes but I wasn't going to give her the same stuff year in and year out. 

My pick this time was Uriwari's special Saki (咲) cake which was their "feature" cake for Mother's Day this year. I thought the size was perfect ($248) and all the ingredients had the making of a super refreshing cake (except caramel?).



And it turned out to be almost perfect. In the middle of it was a layer of delicate caramel mousse sandwiched between layers of pear mousse, pear jelly, pear compote and cinnamon flavored cake. The caramel mousse which was surprisingly light, was working wonder with the refreshing pear mousse, jelly and pear cubes creating a symphony of contrasting textures and flavors for our palates. Mom was definitely a happy camper after having almost half of the cake all by herself!



Note: There's a 5% discount for orders picked up at the Kwai Hing MTR station. Perfect if you're traveling by MTR!
