A nice, quiet spot to hide from the merciless afternoon heat, Arc-en-ciel Pâtisserie was a more than pleasant find along Neil Road. Like a luscious chocolate cloud (with fun bits of crunch), the DALÍ // dark chocolate mousse cake ($11) was very enjoyable (albeit pricey). Layered with salted caramel dark chocolate ganache, hazelnut feuilletine crunch, and soft cacao nibs chocolate sponge; the cacao nibs whipped ganache was so smooth and light. The chocolate flavour was also pretty complex with hints of savouriness and nuttiness.
And what a thirst quencher, the Poire Mangue Tea ($10) was a brilliant blend with the slightly vegetal pu-erh tea base mixed with sweet pear and bright floral-tasting mango.
