Antoinette ($8)Light, smooth white chocolate mousse sitting on a thin layer of sponge, enveloping a heart of mango puree for a mildly refreshing twist.
A peep of the insideI've always associated white chocolate with "overly sweet" and "rich". But this cake has given me new perspective; the cloudlike white chocolate mousse here is sweetened to just the right degree.
LRRH ($8.50)
My, what a flawless complexion you have! As with all of K Ki's cakes, this LRRH has been perfectly assembled. Look at how even the sheen of chocolate is! Stunning, isn't she?
And of course, nothing but Valrhona dark chocolate would do. There's some raspberry puree hidden within the smooth mousse which lightens the richness of all that chocolate. Good for people like me who don't quite fancy chocolate mousses for that reason!
Kinabaru ($8)
I love passionfruit. No wonder I'm especially enamored with this layered creation of etherally light coconut mousse and sunshine-yellow passionfruit creme. While the well-balanced flavors were mild on the tastebuds, this creation deeply impressed. Kinabaru, you're clearly my favorite thus far... I'll be having you again! I think Mom will take a fancy to you too. Maybe I'll get her a large version of you on her birthday!
See how precisely the Kinabaru has been sliced? And how the different layers are perfectly parallel to each other? (:
K Ki comes up with simply refined creations. One thing that I like about the cakes is how they're sweetened to just the right degree, another is how beautifully presented they always are. One's gotta love the warm and friendly service too!
I always love reading posts on KKi! I miss all the three cakes you mentioned ;)
ReplyDeletethe strawberry tart did not impress me as much as kinabaru (:
ReplyDeleteIt's still by far my favourite, esp with a cup of latte!
Yeah! I love K-ki! I just visited them 2 hrs ago ;)
ReplyDeletei have to go back for the LRRH!
ReplyDeleteI really love kinabaru at k ki! Now you really remind me that I have to go back soon!
ReplyDeleteHarris, HungryEpicurean, Bella V: i want to visit k ki again soon too! for the best cakes ever in sg (:
ReplyDeleteoysterdiaries: i haven't tried their latte cos i don't really drink hot coffee. i'll give it a try next time though, especially since i'm missing their sables which are snatched up really fast!
HungryTrotters: you must, before heading to the netherlands! if only it was possible for me to ship k ki's cakes to you while you're living there, i would!
I've always wanted to try the cakes there! Need to round up more ppl to go with me. Haha!
ReplyDeletefoodoshot: actually the cakes there are on the smaller side- three cakes will make a good lunch! i don't mind making another visit with you though when if i'm free (:
ReplyDeleteAwesome! We can go together during your school holidays. I'm relatively free right now ;)
