La Patisserie des Idees is a cozy little French pastry shop at D2 Place One helmed by an engineer-turned-patissier who honed his skills in France and Japan before moving back to Hong Kong to open his own patisserie. At La Patisserie des Idees, he's offering a nice mix of traditional and contemporary pastries based on his overseas travel.
Nama Cheesecake ($45) - I've had my share of cheesecake this week (The Mandarin Cake Shop and Paul Lafayet) but that didn't stop me from ordering yet another cheesecake.
This was very very light (like a marshmallow). In between the soft French cheese and sponge cake, there's a hint of pineapple and citrus for a nice kick of acidity.
What I like most about this cake is the crumble made with salted caramel crunch, which has added some crunchiness to the mix. The exotic fruit gelée and layer of pineapple which I thought was an interesting idea, provided a lovely tropical twist.
