Pine Gard...I understand where you are driving at... Pine Garden's winning factor is its pricing but to compare with mega players such as BakerZin and Canele, there is a difference...<BR/><BR/>I like their combination of flavours but their cake sponge is just too sweet and powdery to my liking... I prefer a good and light chiffon...Fenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610835135054460909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681293820173602421.post-55068159741187744542009-03-28T23:59:00.000+08:002009-03-28T23:59:00.000+08:00evan: hello!

Guess Pine's rose-lychee martini cake just didn't work for me..have yet to try any isaphan..hence my averse reaction to that! <BR/><BR/>fen: Shall take note of 7th heaven. I just don't get the huge fuss about this cake, slightly overhyped imo. I've really nothing towards rose and lychee, just that Pine's didn't work for me. :Pfoodaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976238161931081117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681293820173602421.post-71286763279918575582009-03-27T14:04:00.000+08:002009-03-27T14:04:00.000+08:00Not alot of places does it well for lychee martini...Not alot of places does it well for lychee martini desserts... I do like 7th Heaven's lychee martini ice-cream... <BR/><BR/>Yea, the alcohol is almost undetectable but it is a unique combination for a cake. <BR/><BR/>Actually lychee and rose are classic combinations, isaphan is a classic example and according to my small chat with the pastry chef at CentrePs, this is a combination that is well-received over the years. Put it short, it is a long-lost recipe and Pierre Herme revive this combination via the introduction of the isaphan.<BR/><BR/>I haven't try the cake one week later but I find it hard to like their sponge... alittle too powdery to my liking...Fenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10610835135054460909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681293820173602421.post-81442490018760374062009-03-27T12:32:00.000+08:002009-03-27T12:32:00.000+08:00rose and lychee does go perfectly well together, w...rose and lychee does go perfectly well together, which is why the picasso of pastry, pierre herme came up with the ispahan which is made up of rose, lychee & raspberries =) now, everywhere is using that combination!bossacafezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206146352124945774noreply@blogger.com
