Who likes FREE desserts?
From 16 - 30 April 2012, award-winning Tai Zi Heen will be featuring "All Things Sweet for Free" promotion. With a minimum order of RM50 per table, every diner at the table will be entitled to a free dessert from a selection of desserts specially designed by Chinese Head Chef, Michael Wong. This is a great way for diners to try both new desserts and old favourites from Tai Zi Heen.
We sampled 14 desserts in one seating (in miniature portions of course) and we all had our own favorites. Surprisingly most of the desserts were not that sweet, and there were a few which I enjoyed very much. The mango pudding with passion fruit sauce was pretty to look at, and there was a play of tangy-sweet flavours.
The dessert that got the most attention was the crispy durian tempura - partly bcos there was a few in our group which weren't big fans of the king of fruits. After a little persuasion, all of them eventually tried it and LIKED it. The durian flavour was there but it wasn't overpowering thanks to the use of custard, just right for both lovers and non-lovers of durian.
I also enjoyed the chilled mango puree with ice-cream, sago and pomelo as well as the lemongrass jelly with aloe vera and lime sorbet which I have eaten before during my tapas review. The latter was appetizing and I had a couple (well, maybe more) of this. ;P I also like the crispy Vietnamese spring roll filled with sweetened avocado puree and the avocado pandan puree - avocado really works in dessert. ;)
There are also the classic Chinese desserts to choose from, such as iced jelly with dried longan puree and white fungus, Chinese herbal jelly with honey, sweetened red beans with lotus seeds and lily bulbs and iced sea coconut with lemon syrup.

ReplyDeleteThe durian tempura was quite a huge hit, despite the fruit not being a fav with all.

ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favs, I think it's very refreshing and perfect after a heavy meal.
Deleteoh my.. so many to choose from... I have tried their a few of their popular ones above and love the mango puree and chilled aloe vera... the only thing I would pass is durian.. hehehe... durian is definately not my cup of tea.. ;)
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly the durian tempura went down well with non-lovers of durian too. So maybe u'll like it too!
DeleteI want free food :). The Avocado pandan puree with ice cream, that sounds weird, but I'm sure taste good.
ReplyDeleteI love avocado puree in desserts, and the pandan gives it an extra fragrance.

Deleteso many fascinating choices! it'd be difficult for me to choose, but i think i'd go for the purple rice puree with banana mochi roulade. that combo sounds really unique! :D
ReplyDeleteOh that was a fav with some of our fellow bloggers. I have a very sweet tooth, and would have liked it if the purple rice puree was sweeter.
