The shop has just moved across the street -- bigger and very empty (maybe there'll be tables and chairs later?? I'm not sure). This time, I ordered the earl grey tea cake from Tony Wong for my wife's birthday. We tried their Green Tea Opera and were totally impressed. Thus, we have high hopes for One Two Tea. Well, in terms of presentation, I prefer the minimalistic sleekness of the picture shown on the website.

Well, in terms of presentation, I prefer the minimalistic sleekness of the picture shown on the website. The two white chocolate butterflies look like they're from an elementary school craft class -- kinda childish and not too elegant. Very much like the decoration you'd get from lower-end cake shop such as St Honore or Maxim's (of much lower price range, of course). On the up side, the vertical side of the cake has fine three dimensional quilted pattern like a Chanel handbag. I suppose such elegant connotations should never be juxtaposed with childish colourful butterflies.

In terms of taste, it was a let-down. True, the Earl Grey is there, robustly. But the mousse cake lacks dimensions in terms of mouthfeel. The so-called custard is very much mousse-like with too much gelatine. A fatal mistake is the patisser couldn't even keep the orange sponge (which is totally devoid of any orange flavour) parallel to all mousse and custard layers. It kind of warpped at the centre and this ruined the surprise after cutting the cake. 

Onto a side note, the patisser couldn't even keep the cake at the centre of the cake circle (i.e. the gold foil paper beneath the cake). How can I blame him for messing up the perfect layers inside the cake??

Well, I'll still come back, but I'll just stick to chocolate truffle, green tea opera and napoleon.
