Artisanal Afternoon–Tea Delights…….Singapore

Fretting what to offer your guests over an afternoon tea session? Here’s my suggestion that I have chanced upon a few days ago:

Fruit Egg Tarts: Banana Egg Tart & Durian Egg Tart

Egg custard is battered with fresh bananas, adorned with sliced bananas atop and half encased in a puff pastry crust which tastes slightly tart and not repulsive sweet. A refreshing fruity cum egg-creamy sensation!

For durian lovers, you can try the durian version. Fresh durian puree is added to compound with the egg custard, producing a good marriage redolent of durian as you bite a mouthpiece. A delectable durian delight!

SGD$1.60 per pc or SGD$5.50 for 4pcs

Wait, that’s not all. They have designed 2 new fruit-flavored pastries which resemble Teochew-style mooncakes encased in flaky crusts: Apricot and Tomato. The light-tan-colored flaky crust is crisp and the lotus paste filling is perfectly sweetened and moist with a dried apricot buried in the centre as the lead role. A new bespoke pastry!

Next, is the tomato flavor. I was expecting a tomato-based puree filling which you would have spread on top of a homemade pizza dough but I was wrong. And I am glad I was rightfully wrong! The crisp flaky crust is rose-pink-colored and contains lotus paste filling likewise. But this time round, you will find 2 preserved cherry tomatoes tucked inside. The preserved tomatoes taste sweet and piquant. Another bespoke pastry awaits you!

SGD$3.20 for a pair or SGD$1.80 per pc.
