Let your tastesbuds sense molecular gastronomy

Restaurant: Sense Dessert Cafe (Yuen Long)
I have not tried food made by the gastronomic process so I really wanted to try this place.


This place is located in Yuen Long which was really pushing my boundaries as I do not usually travel further than Hong Kong or Kowloon for good food.


Since the introduction of the Giant Green Tea lava cake at the Steakhouse and the one persons portion at Sin Mei they also have it here.

Tiramisu:
Basically when it came, it looked like a plant in a flowerpot.


It was tiramisu covered with crushed biscuit crumbs to mimic the soil with a sprig on mint in the middle.


It just tasted like ordinary tiramisu jazzed up although the coffee and alcoholic taste was strong.

Rose leaf drift on the mousse:
I do not like the taste of rose but I tried it anyway.
The rose pudding at the base was extremely milky and the taste of rose was strong.


The foam on the top was just frothed up milk made into extremely fine foam.

Floating Island in the smog/illusion:


This was frozen ice cream with fruits. The white part tasted of coconut and the orange part tasted like pineapple sorbet.
The pairing of these two flavours reminded me of pina colada.
One of the blueberries was really big.

Sinking chocolate in the red sea:




The frozen icecream was made in the same way as above, there were two flavours, the white one was vanilla, and the burgandy colour tasted like berries.
The frozen icecream just tasted like Mini Melts icecream which is also made by using Nitrogen to flash freeze it so that there is no air whipped into it.
The chocolate lava cake in the middle just tasted like the usual fare!

Chocolate caviar and milk pudding:




The milk pudding was really creamy and silky, and there was a spoon of chocolate caviar served separately.
The caviar was made by using a pipette dropping the chocolate droplets to made it solidify.


The chocolate taste could have been stronger.
