The Patissier: Looking Beyond Tradition
By. Deyana Goh

Creativity and tradition walk hand in hand amongst the kitchens of The Patissier. This home-grown bakery combines time-honored techniques passed down by French Patissiers with innovative Singaporean ideas. Their cakes and pastries are a sensual indulgence for anyone with a taste for desserts that are familiar with a touch of flair. Creations from The Patissier are a visual treat, carefully and painstakingly decorated with exotic fruits or chocolate swirls and gold foil.

  • Passion Fruit Meringue
    The Passion Fruit Meringue has a lightly-browned crust and a dusting of snowy icing sugar. Made of layers of meringue sponge sandwiched in passion fruit mousse, this cake is filled with generous slices of mangoes and strawberries. The result is a delicate melt-in-the-mouth concoction that is soft, yet crispy because of the flaky crust. The sweet taste of the mousse is tapered by the fresh fruits that ease the richness of cream. The Passion Fruit Meringue is light on the palate, making it the perfect accompaniment to most gatherings.
  • Double Chocolate Pralines
    Chocolate lovers - unite in the celebration of this extremely chocolaty cake! Comprising rich praline sandwiched between layers of thick chocolate mousse, this cake is covered with thick cocoa power and sprinkles of fine gold dust. This cake is a sinful indulgence, even from the first whiff of its aroma of dark chocolate. Biting the cake suffuses your mouth with the taste of rich praline. The sweetness is accentuated by the crunchy chocolate crust, which is the highlight of the cake.

The SD Food Advisor's take on The Patissier
If you are in the mood to indulge, The Patissier is definitely worth trying. However, the cakes are too rich to be eaten on a regular basis. If you cannot decide which cake to sample, try the unique Passion Fruit Meringue instead of the Double Chocolate Pralines.

About The Author
Deyana writes because she is trapped by too many thoughts that have no way to escape but through her mouth or her pen (or in this case, keyboard). She believes that ‘all the world’s a stage’ – it is at times a comedy, and at other times a tragedy. She enjoys laughing very much, partly because she thinks that the tragedy would be lessened if people didn’t take themselves too seriously.

She also enjoys doing nothing and can spend hours staring at something extremely mundane. She is waiting for the day when she can see traffic jams in the sky, caused by hordes of flying cars. Picturing such a scene makes her laugh very hard. Deyana currently writes for lokasi.purwana.net Food Advisor & Travel Guide because, well, a girl’s gotta eat.
