Actually this is on the same day when I went to High Society. Shikin said she wanted to come to this place with me because only I can appreciate this kind of place. I agree!
And this place is called La Maison du Canelé. It is a sister restaurant of Canelé. The only difference is, this place only sells desserts from Canelé.
The deco is so pretty... except the Chinese New Year deco which I loath the most.
Even the menu is so pretty. OK, I know I'm bias 'cos it's pink.
That's our tea! They don't have high tea set so we ordered from the ala carte menu.
I had the strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries layered with creme Chantilly, and Japanese shortcake laced with Kirsch. They use whole strawberry and fresh ones. The shortcake is so soft like cotton candy. I am dreaming of it already!
Shikin only took the dark chocolate macaron. The dark chocolate is so rich and think, while the macaron crust melts in your mouth. I regret I didn't pack some back.
This which appears to look somewhat like a slab of siu yok, actually has a very glamorous name of St. Marc. Jocelyn took this and it is super good if you're a fan of caramel. It has layers of biscuit joconde with Kirsch, vanilla creme Chantilly, dark chocolate cream and creme brulee. I would really love it if the caramel layer on top is crusty.... like how you can crack them with your spoon on some creme brulee. Other than that, it's a pretty decent dessert especially the dark chocolate is so rich.
I really appreciate it that they serve real fresh tea instead of those in tea bags. I ordered the Bergamot San, which is the only sencha in the tea menu. It is so hard to find sencha. I used to drink this everyday back in Tassie (sorry, have to bring up Tassie again because Shikin really reminded me of those days) when I was a frequent at Chado Tea House. Such a lovely place.
Talking about Tassie. That place taught me a lot of things, like how to drink proper tea, study wine, seafood, coffee, etc. Makes me feel so atas when I know about all these things. The actual fact is... I had so much fucking time. For some reason, I picked up all those things.
Stressed = Desserts. Hmmm... Seems legit!
My dear friends from school last time. Time passes so fast, we're not
Aunty makan high tea. LOL!
Anyway, La Maison du Canelé is at Orchard Road Shaw House right next to Canele.
