"Chocolate pastry spiked with rum is rolled into the shape of a little ball...LE Cafe’s version is deliciously chocolaty and rich in rum." — Sweetest things Singapore’s Best Desserts 2005 "...Right tasting Rum Balls are not easy to come by; most are either over-done with chocolate coating, or their sugariness sit on the extreme end of the scale. Quite distinctively, LE Café's rum-based pastry is coated with premium dark chocolate and overall sweetness of the ball is pretty much controlled. We had a good time indulging in them without feeling satiated." — Tiara Zhang for www.funkygrad.com, Dec 2010 Mandarin Orange Christmas Log Cake "...The tantalizing Mandarin Orange Log Cake gave us a pleasant surprise. We were impressed by the brillant fusion of Western and Chinese ingredients. The Mandarin orange (a symbolic Lunar New Year fruit) is generously introduced in a soft orange sponge cake laced with fresh cream. These juicy orange bits come with a tinge of cointreau which bequeaths the cake a refreshing twist. The satisfying 'omph' derived from its highly delicate sponge that is akin to a baby's touch make the cake stand out...." — Tiara Zhang for www.funkygrad.com, Dec 2010 |
