Got a softserve from this place and as they have just opened the queue was chaotic but luckily the guy infront of me told the counter staff that I was queuing after him.
The softserve was nice and creamy with pieces of green tea jelly cubes and warabi mochi which were not too sweet with a light green tea taste.

Although the blueberry tart was a bit too sweet, it was actually delicious.

I loved the crust because was not too buttery and the tart was filled with a layer of cake, a thin layer of chocolate and cream topped with glazed blueberries.

Arome bakery has opened at Choi Hung MTR station and this spot used to be Okashi land.


Anyway, got two green tea desserts.
One was the green tea cheese pudding and the other was green tea pudding.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
uji matcha, kanten and cream cheese dessert cup:

The green tea cheese pudding reminded me of trifle because of the layers and it tasted a teeny weeny bit like trifle because of the raspberry fruit layer at the bottom.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
uji matcha, adzuki beans, warabi mochi dessert cup:

I liked the light green tea mousse and jelly mochis.

Arome Bakery has launched a new Uji Matcha series and the cake looks like a woven green basket and a Japanese teapot!
Anyway I tried the bun which could have tasted better because it tasted like raw dough and it was rather sweet.
The bean paste in the bun had a starchy texture which was quite nice.

[Review 4387] Arome bakery’s ice dumplings @ 東海堂 Arome Café

Traditional dumplings are made with glutinous rice and wrapped in plant leaves but now there are some modern ones called Ice dumplings because they have a clear translucent exterior and they are eaten cold.
There are quite a few flavours at ABR but there were only three I wanted to try which were purple sweet potato, apple and brown sugar.
They only had the purple one so I got that for $28.

The packaging was cute, you just peel off the lid and eat.
The dumpling exterior was very chewy and the purple potato puree was too sweet and tasted artificial so I think I will probably just buy the apple to try next.

Walked past and these rolls looked good so got the small Miyazaki chocolate roll for $69 which is bloody expensive at that size so you’re probably better off getting the big one for $128.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Miyazaki Chocolate Roll Cake:
The chocolate filling was rather bitter and the roll didn’t impress because the taste was a bit boring.
There is a label that says the cake is made with Miyazaki eggs but sadly I can't taste any difference between this and their other rolls.

Out of the new melon series, I hate this the most because the cream in the middle has this really artificial melon taste.
The melon roll has this taste too but it is not so artificial.

After trying the melon dessert cup, I got the melon tart the next day.
It was visually prettier and tasted better.
The tart was the usual crumbly short crust base with a layer of chocolate, cream, a small piece of cake topped with glazed pieces of melon on top.
I liked it because it tasted natrual with cream and melon.

When I saw this, I thought it was green tea but it was melon so I decided to try it.
I liked the layer of melon mousse and chunks of melon but the melon jelly on top was too sweet.
The dessert cup design was quite nice because it had a irregular shape that confuses the eye.

This branch is really close to the new KTown MTR station which is why you are bound to walk past it.
Anyway, peered through the window and the Swiss roll slices looked good so decided to get one.

Okinawa purple potato and genmaicha roll cake:
 3 讚好

The roll was quite nice because there was more Genmaicha filling than purple potato puree, but the filling got a bit too creamy and heavy towards the end.
It would be great if there was more sponge cake layers like Western Swiss rolls and less of the filling.

Lemon meringue tart:

It had four drops of chewy meringue on top with a delicious creamy lemon curd filling which I found a bit heavy and the tart base I didn't like because it was too buttery and soft.
