New Executive Pastry Chef Christophe Sapy has injected new life into the once-boring collection of desserts at The Mandarin Cake Shop, which had everyone including me excited about going there again.
Apart from the new creations, they also have the old school stuff.
Vanilla, Bergamot and Strawberry ($58) - With their Mango Green Tea cake unavailable today, I decided to go for this.
A pink ribbon pastry. I am guessing this is part of Mandarin Oriental's Pink October breast cancer awareness activities. Some of the proceeds should go to The Breast Cancer Association.
A very elegant dessert. Now let's see if it tastes as good.
This turned out to be a pretty simple combination of vanilla mousse and strawberry compote. I didn't see the bergamot there. Perhaps the jelly on top was bergamot flavored? I wasn't entirely sure.
