La Patisserie des Idees (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★★☆

For nearly a year, I have all forgotten about La Patisserie des Idees, my neighbourhood cake shop at D2 Place. So since I had an early exit from work this afternoon, I was too happy to finally pay the little patisserie a long overdue visit.

Not surprisingly, there were new creations that I've never laid my hands on before.

Matcha mochi (抹茶麻糬蛋糕) ($50) – Like this one, with matcha mousse, matcha creme, sesame dacquoise and black sesame crunch.

The delicate matcha mousse was bursting with deep matcha flavors, so expectedly the sesame didn't really stand out even in its complimentary role. 

I did enjoy the density and creaminess of the matcha mousse, working well with the crispiness of the sesame dacquoise and crunch.
