It's all about being healthy and natural

arome Bake & Drink 東海堂 (Kowloon Bay)

Thanks to Arome Bakery for inviting me to their cakes, freshly baked items and drinks at this one and only branch that serves drinks at the moment until they open the second bake and drink branch at LCX soon.

This branch has been opened for quite a few months but I never got round to try it even though I had quite few tastings around there.

At the tasting session, they showcased the new drinks, Cake little series and their freshly baked items.

The Cake little series were fruity, colourful and fun.
There was one that looked like a strawberry and one that looked like a grape!
It was amazing that as well as the appearance it also tasted nice and not artificial.

CAKE Little series
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mixed Berries-go cake little:

The presentation of this was really nice, it was like a big fuzzy strawberry .
When it was cut open, there was strawberry sauce in the middle which flowed out.
The taste of this was refreshing and it was mainly mousse and cake.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Kyoho Grapes cake little 巨峰の季節:

I have to admit the Kyoho grape items I have tried in the past such as drinks and candies were so artificial so I assumed this one would be the same, but it was not.
The Kyoho grape taste was really light and natural and the chocolate sponge in the middle paired with it nicely.

In the middle, there was a kyoho grape too
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Kumamoto Melon Jelly cake little:

The presentation of this melon cake was quite cute, it looked like half a melon on top, but the top was made of clear light green jelly with chunky pieces of melon in it with the cake beneath it.
I was surprised by this melon cake because I have never liked the green melon because it has a strange unami taste which goes well with ham but it tasted nice with this cake.
The sweetness was just right and the jelly was not too sweet.
The pieces of melon were mushy and soft which worked with the type of jelly they used.

In the middle, there was delicious cake and cream to balance it out.
I definately recommended this cake because it was natrual and not as fattening compared to the mousse cakes.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Okinawa Pineapple & Orange Mousse cake:


This was my next favourite cake because it was a refreshing combination of orange and pineapple, and the layers inside it were nice especially the orange and pineapple mousse.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
White Peach Mousse cake little:

The taste of this cake was much lighter but creamier because it had hokkaido milk in it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
At this branch, they have pontikeges and breads, I loved the cheese bread but my favourite was the onigiri bun.

Onigiri Bun:

This is a savoury bun and the pieces of grounded rice on top were delicious.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Drinks:

There were so many choices and for each drink you could have a choice of red beans, aiyu jelly, kanten jelly, pudding to put in it!
In the end I chose the chocolate with pudding in it and the taste of the chocolate was really nice because it did not have a powdery or strong cocao aftertaste.
The pudding at the bottom was really really nice with a strong caramel taste.

Kagoshima sweet purple potato crystal Zongzi

Arome Bakery (Tseung Kwan O)

Just like the mooncakes, where the traditions have been broken with snowy mooncakes.

There is now a sweet version of Zongzi that is ready to eat.
It was introduced last year but I did not get a chance to try it because they came in a pack of three with only one flavour I liked.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Kagoshima sweet purple potato crystal Zongzi:
At Arome Bakery, they come in single flavours in packs of twos so I was able to get the flavour I liked.


After removing it from the vacumn sealed pack, it is wrapped in dried leaves just like the usual Zongzi's.
The size of these Zongzi's are slightly smaller.


When I removed the leaf wrapping, the appearance was slightly different from their product shot.
On the product shot there is purple filling incased within the crystal clear exterior.
It was just a purple mass when I unwrapped it, the Zongzi stuck to the leaf wrapping and got deformed hence it did not come out as a perfect tetrahedral shape.

The taste was not bad, and the filling was slightly starchy with a hint of sweet purple potato taste.
The sweetness was just right and not as cloyingly sweet as this other brand I tried but the leaf wrapping was a bit oily.

Delicious Japanese premium cookies

Thanks to Mjqueen7e for getting me these delicious cookies.

I am a fan of Arome bakery room and their products are nicely packaged and taste good.

The box was really nice with a handle on the top.


There are five flavours inside: cashew, charcoal and coconut, green tea, Okinawa brown sugar, and dark rye with walnut.



Each cookie is individually packaged.

The texture of each cookie was delicate and crumbles in your mouth.
My favourite flavours were the green tea, Okinawa brown sugar and the charcoal with coconut.
The charcoal with coconut had big chunks of coconut which gave it more mouth feel and the Okinawa sugar flavour had strong sugar flavour without being too sweet.

Arome Bakery's Mixed berries mousse cake

Thanks to Arome Bakery for their complimentary mousse cake and Ivy for sharing her cake with me.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Mixed berries mousse cake:
The appearance of this cake was really pretty, it had a nice fuzzy surface similar to fabric.

It is similar to the heart cake at Chez Shibata.
Anyway, the mousse was lovely and firm made with lots of gelatin that when you cut it, the shape still holds.
In the middle there is sponge, strawberries and jelly and the sweetness of the cake is just right with the lovely tartness of the strawberries.

❤ White strawberries ❤ for Valentines day ❤

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Out of all the Arome Bakery Room tastings, I was really looking forward to this one because of the White strawberry which is also known as the pineberry.

╔══╗
╚╗╔╝
╔╝(¯`v´¯)
╚══`.¸.white strawberries!
I have always wanted to try this angelic berry which was nearly extinct a few years ago.

The berry turns white when it is ripe and the seeds turn red and it has a hint of pineapple flavour.
The taste of this berry is really sweet and juicy.

Currently they are sold at Citysuper for around $48X for about 10 to 12 berries depending on size.

Although the White strawberry is only for Valentines day, the colour of the strawberry is also great for White Valentines day (known as white day)!
