Getting some decadent mille crepe cakes from Shaz would be the easy call but I decided to check out a forgotten French patisserie in the mall instead - Patisserie Jeffery Koo by celebrity pastry chef and TV personality Jeffery Koo.
Kumquat Mango ($48) - We had this nearly three years ago and obviously, the recipe has evolved a bit over the years. While the presentation looked like it could use some improvement, I was quite happy with the flavors and textures.
It came with cream cheese mousse, fillings of kumquat jelly, mango purée, rum and a 72% dark chocolate sponge base all covered with kumquat glazing. Like I said, it didn't look pretty, but reasonably good combination of sweetness, acidity and bitterness to go with the soothing cream cheese mousse.
