Cucumber sorbet and Chinese celery granita in gin syrup covered with a meringue made of dried cucumber skin. It is very unusual to be served cucumber and celery as dessert. I had my doubts initially but @iakkai42 who served us the dish assured us that we will like it. He was absolutely right, the combination of cucumber and salary with slightly sweetened gin syrup was excellent. Who would have thought a strong tasting vegetable like celery could be made into a dessert?

There is a story behind the creation of this unique dessert. The team was struggling with sourcing fresh fruits at the local Taiwan market when a typhoon hit and were left with only these vegetables. Amazing how a little challenge can bring out the best in a team. Loved this creative dessert 😍.
