It does seem that there is always that limited time-only Mille Crepe that Lady M offers that intrigue us — the brand had recently announced the availability of the said Mille Crepe for the period between March 2024 to end April 2024 on their website, as well as the limited time-only launch on their social media pages. The said item is also described to come with black sesame cream, as well as a premium oolong tea-infused whipped cream topped with a black sesame glaze.

We usually would find ourselves making our way down to Lady M’s South Beach Towers outlet or the outlet at Jewel Changi Airport whenever there is a launch of a limited time-only Mille Crepe item that piques our interest— this is actually our very first time heading to the Lady M Champagne Bar outlet at ION Orchard since this outlet is pretty much to our convenience these days. The Sesame Tie Guan Yin Mille Crepes does not look too different to that of their other Mille Crepe offerings — their standard Signature Mille Crepes being described as one that does not come with anything less than twenty (20) layers of “paper-thin handmade crepes”; the Sesame Tie Guan Yin Mille Crepes topped off with sesame-infused pastry cream on the topmost layer, as well as also in between specific layers of the cake as well. Digging out fork into the Sesame Tie Guan Yin Mille Crepes, the Sesame Tie Guan Yin Mille Crepes holds up to the slices of the fork pretty well much like their Signature Mille Crepes; not much shifting around across the different layers, and retaining its shape as we went through the entire cake. The sesame-infused pastry cream did carry that roasty hint of flavours that the description on the menu described, though we found out that the Tie Guan Yin element takes a back seat here and isn’t quite as upfront as one would have expected it to be — the Tie Guan Yin element here seemingly runs at the back of tongue, coming in only after one detects those notes of sesame in the pastry cream; it providing the earthiness and slight bitterness that complimented the roasty notes of the black sesame to round things off nicely. Lady M’s seasonal Mille Crepes aren’t the most affordable of things — the Sesame Tie Guan Yin Mille Crepes being priced at $16++ for a single slice, though still considerably worth giving a go for those whom are into Mille Crepes and is curious about how their latest seasonal offering would turn out to be like.
