Many of you would know that I am a huge fan of Japanese pastries and sweets.
One of my favourite places to get my fix is Chef Yamashita. Did an earlier post on them when they first opened here.
Chef Yamashita myself is passionate about his cakes and still bakes and oversee the processes in the kitchen, as a result, creating very consistent bakes with the signature Japanese style of light whip, delicate taste and fresh fruits.
I was so smitten with his newest creation – the Green Tea and Yuzu $7.20, an ultimate combination of matcha from Uji, Kyoto, and the refreshing flavour of yuzu in a super light and melt-in-the-mouth mousse texture.
So good it’s almost addictive!
This Green Tea and Yuzu cake is quite popular. You can consider calling to make reservations to avoid disappointment
Another new creation is this CY burger . A cute presentation of lady finger sponge cake, fresh fruits, and brown sugar mousse. Love the ‘hamburger’ presentation and that lovely crust on top of the sponge cake.
A fun feast for the eyes and for the palate.
Another new addition to the menu is the Framboise ($6.80) and the Yonashi Tart $6.80.
Of the two, I prefer the Framboise, which comprised of a well made smooth raspberry mousse and nama chocolate in the middle. The slightly tartness from the raspberry also balances the taste and sweetness perfectly.
The presentation is of course, a delight to my eyes once again.
For the Yonashi tart, it was bursting with flavour being packed with chunky pear pieces. Love the summer feel~
I would have prefer however if the tart crust was more crisp. But its more the style of tart rather than because it was not done well.
Personally Chef Yamashita is one of the best Japanese cakery around. Delicate and delightful cakes priced reasonably for its quality too.
