I didn't have the chance to check out DangWenLi's latest "The Classic Childhood Memories Collection" 《經典童年回憶》系列 as they were all sold out last time I was here. So, I had to make sure that I reserved a few of them before little nugget took off for Toys R Us and others to shopping (I also spent some Me Time at Shake Shack on my own).
I had to settle for Main Street Deli's New York cheesecake after striking out at DangWenLi two weeks ago. Today, my mission was finally accomplished.
French Toast (港式西多士) – Probably the most eye-catching one out of the new four.
The French Toast was actually made with crispy feuilletine, creamy rice pudding and homemade lemon curd, topped nicely by the honey gelée "maple syrup" and a pat of mascarpone cream "butter".
There are both contrasting textures and flavors in there. Not bad.
Dominique’s Cup Noodle (當仔杯麵) – The cute presentation immediately stole the heart of little nugget (and many alike). The caramel crispy rice and caramel sponge cake "cup" came filled with espresso gelée "noodles," which were made with milk tea mousse.
There was even a "fish cake" made of chocolate. Talk about the attention to details.
Haw Flakes (山楂餅) – A mix of fresh raspberry and hawthorn mousse, paired with lychee gelée, and soufflé cheesecake.
For me, the weakest link from the new four. The mix of flavors was a little one-dimensional. Acidity and nothing more.
Bear Cookie (小熊餅) – Saving the best for last, this was easily my favorite from the new four.
Underneath the adorable cookie bear were layers of vanilla sable, hazelnut sponge cake, milk chocolate ganache and hazelnut mousse. It's like having a giant hazelnut praline chocolate. Love it!
Little guy can't stop eating his instant noodle cup.
