The weekend is over....
How sad.
To cheer all of you lot upwards for the demise of the short-lived weekend, here's a niggling sugar, spice as well as everything nice.
Throughout the whole of final week, I was reminded constantly of the opening of Les Deux Garcons' novel outlet .
Friends volition SMS, gmail chat, facebook, tweet, blog as well as fifty-fifty beak to me expression upwards to expression upwards near their wondrous creations.
Despite a rather busy weekend, nosotros managed to pocket unopen to fourth dimension to see the place.
I was rather pensive near going at that spot as well as hence belatedly equally as well as hence many friends direct keep told me how their wares would sell out quickly.
Since nosotros decided non to tempt fate as well as hold back for a parking space, nosotros took the slow agency out as well as packed abode the cakes.
The most of import cake wasn't the prissy pretty ones displayed nether the drinking glass counter.
Instead it was the rather non-descript ane swaddled inward white - the marble butter cake (quatre quarts, RM60 for a medium size) for my mother.
I must acknowledge my woman raise is correct to dear this unproblematic marble butter cake equally it's rather perfect inward my ain eyes.
The crumb is petroleum (some prefer it fine but I dear it crumbly as well as petroleum for the homely texture) as well as it is redolent of the creamy butter taste. The best bits are the rich chocolate swirls flora inside the cake - intense chocolate flavor amongst the role of French Valrhona chocolate amongst only a hint of java to pick out out the nighttime aromas. They role Golden Churn butter to brand this cake as well as hence there's definitely none of those Buttercup spreads, Planta margarine or that immensely horrible Butta Vanilla flavouring they sell inward the cake shops to mimic the buttery taste.
Outfitted inward pristine white, the store serves equally a palette for the jewel-like cakes such equally the Le Palladio (RM22), Le Favori (RM15) as well as Passion (RM13).
The Le Palladio is the most decadent ane amongst truffle mascarpone cream that tops a vanilla tart. Each layer needs to live on taken together equally the tart crust is rather difficult (almost similar a cracker) as well as tasteless on its own. The Le Favori ane is all near pistachio amongst a raspberry brulee layer. For those who prefer their desserts non equally sweet, you lot volition dear the Passion ane amongst its passionfruit as well as mango flavours that offering a tangy process to the tongue.
There's lots to a greater extent than goodies inward at that spot including their macarons including the decadent truffle flavoured ones as well as lots to a greater extent than cakes to tempt you. Who knows, I may instruct to sneak away ane time to a greater extent than side past times side weekend as well as swallow unopen to other round. From what I hear, those rapturous tweets near their goodies volition nonetheless operate on equally ane friend is as well as hence enamoured amongst these sweets that he has to direct keep them at to the lowest degree on alternate days.
