Mini Choux Platter from Ollella – Matcha Azuki, Dark Chocolate, Apple Cinnamon, Tiramisu, Raspberry, Vanilla, Lemon Meringue. Generally appealing if you select flavours which reveal the choux’s texturality with minimal distraction.

HarriAnns High Tea Set from HarriAnns – nonya kaya choux, 6 bite-sized kueh and 2 kopi/teh.

Snow White in the Blackforest from Halia (Singapore Botanic Gardens) – fresh red apple sorbet in a white chocolate casing, kirsch marinated cherries, dark choux branch, chocolate crumble, whipped cream and castor sugar soil.

Gnome Dome – choux pastry with Horlicks and hazelnut crème pâtissière with white chocolate. Probably needed a warm hug before being served, as it was rather frosty. Horlicks may have been on medical leave that day, as I tasted only Kinder Bueno manning operations. 3.5/5 Out Of The Cake Box…
