Sweet Temptations: Antoinette’s latest dessert creations
Chef Pang Kok Keong from Antoinette is treating us with five new pastries featuring flowers, citrus and fruits flavours. A sweet way to to indulge in for any occasion.
Everyone Instagrams food these days, but have you ever gotten a cake so pretty that you delayed eating – or heaven forbids cutting – it for a few minutes just so you can stare at it longer?
Antoinette‘s latest collection of sumptuous desserts will surely make you do just that.
When unveiling one of their creations of 5 awe-inspiring cakes, the first thought that came to mind was how inspiring it was. Beautiful, delicate and sophisticated, it is truly a handcrafted piece of art. By using seasonal fruits, flowery notes and vibrant colours, chef Pang Kok Keong has managed to put a little piece of summer on a plate.
After tasting the mini portions of their latest editions, we were particularly gobsmacked by the pistachio and raspberry cake named ‘Summer‘. With the right balance of sweetness, fruit and nutty flavours, the cake is a delight for the eyes – with its authentic bucolic decor – as it is for the palate. A light ending to cap off any meal.
The chef’s version of Pavlova is another delicacy that is difficult to get your eyes and hands off. Staring at the pastel colour of the generous rose and yuzu cream, we simply felt like using our fingers for an even guiltier pleasure. The best part? Discovering the refreshing pieces of lychee hidden in the chantilly once you dig into it.
Orangette is the French name for chocolate candied peels. So obviously, translating this into a cake can not be wrong. True chocolate lovers will go for this velvety and creamy dessert. The strong dark chocolate mousse enhances the orange flavour for a lovely burst of flavour in your mouth.
Lemon Tart is another interpretation of one of the most popular and zesty pastries out there. This time, the chef has combined it with a chocolate praline feuilletine to make it even more yummy.
Last but not least, Jasmin, might be the more original and personal creation in this collection. Inspired by a visit to a teahouse in Beijing, chef Pang married jasmine tea with osmanthus gel to deliver a deep and powerful cake that will tackle your senses for sure.
So whatever your preference, if you have a sweet tooth, any of these cakes might as well be the perfect delicacy to officially celebrate the arrival of summer.
