hello~
For part of my sister's birthday celebration, we went for the carousel lunch buffet~
here are some pictures of desserts at the buffet~
if i remembered correctly, from the top left to the bottom right of the 1st picture consists of
pandan tiramisu
i think the yellow one was passion fruit with mousse
hazelnut with chocolate mousse and mini crunchy chocolate balls inside
the one with the white chocolate ball was raspberry jam and vanila mousse
i cant remember the one in the bottom middle but i think it was milk chocolate...
lastly, the strawberry jam with vanila mousse.
for the 1st picture, let's just say that they LOOK really pretty but the flavors were not quite there...
For example, in the pandan tiramisu it didn't taste anything of a tiramisu as there were no sponge inside but just pandan flavored mousse(felt like just cream) and personally i don't fancy too much mousse~
as for the ones with the jams, all i can say is that, jam was all that i taste... it was too sweet for my liking~
the next picture consists of ( if i remembered correctly...)the tart above was cheese tart
the one in the bowl was coffee creme brulee
the red beside the yellow was raspberry cake
the yellow was passion fruit cake
the one that looks like it's red was just covered in cocoa powder so it's chocolate cake
the black one was green tea opera cake
and the last is another cheese cake~
well, the one i enjoyed the most was the coffee creme brulee!~ yummy!~ it was smooth and the sweetness was just nice with a touch of coffee, it was not overwhleming but blended into the dessert perfectly~ yum yum!~
however the green tea opera was a disappointment.
when i think of opera, i recall the crispy chocolate bottom layer with a blend of intense coffee taste with earthly hazelnut butter cream layered in between the sponge cake and topped with a shiny layer of ganache~ ( i have helped my colleages with it at deli before)
so i mean there should be atless some slight resemblance in taste right?
i mean the picture looks alittle like it. but when it went into my mouth, it was like mousse and little bit of sponge but no green tea taste at all... end of story...
the rest was normal~
well, it's just my opinion, don't just hear it from me!~ go and try it out yourself!~
the whole thing inculding the mains cost $37++
and go early as we heard from the waiter it is mostly booked in advance~
for me, the main course section was abit limited for 37bucks~
maybe we should have tried dinner instead.~
however i must say the service was REALLY good~
they clean stuff like in a blink of an eye and very friendly!~
