There is always room for dessert! And what better way to quench that craving than to indulge in mouthwatering cakes and pastries from FLOR PATISSERIE. Nestled in the peaceful corner of Duxton Hill, this tiny but cosy cafe (which seats up to 10 inside, and 8 outside) is home to the fluffy confections lovingly baked by Chef Yamashita and team.
My favourites are FROMAGE BLANC which is a chilled cheese mousse cake that has special blueberry sauce encased in smooth rarecheese set on a fragrant citrus almond tart base(as quoted from their website). The cheese is so mild and smooth that even lactose intolerant folks like me can't resist the lure of this delish morsel! Its so light I don't feel any tummy trouble after.
My next favourite is their new addition called THE VERT. Its a brilliant layered cake of made of a layer of green tea sponge base, followed by the harmony of vanilla cream and fragrant green tea mousse, and finally covered by a thin layer of cold, green tea jelly. Kyoto-uji matcha (green tea) powder is used for this particular green tea cake for its clear and pristine flavour and aroma. It's the perfect sweet treat for matcha fans like me!
To make the deal even sweeter, a tea time promotion is going on daily (Mon-Sun 2-4pm) where a sliced cake and drink is going for $8/9 depending on drink chosen. With the sliced cakes going at $6 onwards, this is a great deal! But go early as the cakes fly off the shelves in a flash. You might be dissapointed if you go any later than 3pm.
And before you leave the cafe, don't forget to pick up the freshly baked cookies @ $4.50 a packet. Langue de chat is a light cookie made with French butter & fine almond. Don't fret, it has none of the cheap almond taste you get in hawker centre almond jellies. This is gourmet almond on its best behaviour. My other favourite is the walnut cookie. Both are addictive and you can polish off the dozen or more pieces in a flash while enjoying a cup of tea at home with your favourite book or Ghibli film classics.
