Dining
CHEAT DAY
Because life’s too short to always order the salad
Yes, they’re really cakes!
DEEPCAKES Renowned pastry chef Dominique Ansel touches down in Hong Kong with 當文歷餅店 BY DOMINIQUE ANSEL, a new patisserie cafe in Harbour City. In this new space, classic Hong Kong-inspired flavours are reimagined in playful, sculpture-like pastries that are optical illusions as much as they are edible creations. Bite into a stick of fishballs, and you’ll be rewarded with chewy red bean ice cream balls; or stick a fork in a lemon tea box and discover bergamot curd and Earl Grey mascarpone mousse. Homages to nostalgic Hong Kong dining culture abounds, with dim sum baskets, macaroni, condensed milk tins, thousand-year-old eggs and pineapple buns all rendered in cake form.
