Delicatesse

A beautiful creation, this Strawberry St Honore Tart ($10) from @delicatesse.sg was as delicious as it looked!

There were different contrasts in textures, from the smooth richness of the cream, to the crispy yet fluffy shell of the macaron, to the crunchy tart crust. I loved the combination of sweet and sour notes from each layer. The taste of strawberry was light yet not artificial. Love it that it wasn't too sweet overall, especially the macarons!

The tart shell was rather fresh with its crunchy texture and was filled with some kind of rich paste. The strawberry was unfortunately sour, but I guess it goes well with the sweeter layers overall.

A good place to go for some speciality tarts and cakes, albeit being quite expensive!

I wanted to order Matcha Mont Blanc previously but its already sold out ($9 via KAIKAI) (UP: $10) and managed to go before 2 to 3 p.m. I managed to get last piece for matcha mont blanc 👍😅. I felt that chestnut inside the mont blanc was too strong nut taste and overwhelming for me. For matcha otherwise, it was quite not strong bitter taste but milky and creamy for me.

I've never tried mont blanc before, so this was my first time experiencing it. In theory, this sounds like a really exciting dessert, with the mont blanc being matcha flavoured and being encased within a tart, but I found that the flavours weren't as impressive as its concept.

The tart base wasnt super fragrant and was a bit thick, and the matcha taste was a bit too faint for my liking. As for the mont blanc, I couldnt really taste the chestnut elements either.

Wish the elements were stronger, however it is really pretty!

One small dessert shop along Tanjong Pagar Road, a perfect spot heading to after getting heavy meal around here.

Most of their cakes here are priced at $10, with many flavours available from the display shelf.

@delicatesse.sg serves a variety of cakes that look simple but taste good. We had the raspberry choux puff, matcha mont blanc and chocolate cake. My favourite was the chocolate cake which had a rich chocolate flavour and a crunchy layer in it too. Overall their desserts are not too sweet and they go well with the floral botanic garden tea!

Been seeing Delicatesse all over my feed for a while now and I finally went down to visit them. This Strawberry St Honore Tart stands out in particular because of the addition of whole macarons to its already loaded heap of fillings.

Honestly I was a little underwhelmed because the cream tasted a bit cheap and the strawberry flavour itself wasn't very natural. The tart base was a bit too thick too, and tasted a bit one dimensional. I did like the macarons though, they were crisp and chewy on the inside.

Has some improvements to be made in terms of the quality, but it does look pretty.
