Banana Cream Pie

Banana Cream Pie
Crispy table tart with almond frangipane filling topped with a layer of light pastry cream and fresh banana chunks


 
Presentation
The top layer is banana custard, with banana fruit chunks in between the sweet bottom crust layer. There is also a sweetened white cream covering the outer circumference of the pie.

Taste
The bottom crust is sweet but not too hard. The top layer of the custard gives the whole pie a very nice and smooth texture. The bottom crust gives it a good support, which is of mixed texture. The banana fruit is however not to my liking as it lacks the solid feel to it. However towards the end of the dessert, the sweetness starts to overwhelm you.
Overall it is a good dessert to end your meal with.

Cheesecake -- Banana Style

It is never enough to just take 1 dessert. We had ordered 2 dessert from the start and the 2nd one is Banana Cheesecake.

Check out the other items that we had ordered

  1. Grilled Saba Fish Set
  2. Japanese Curry Pizza
  3. Caramel Pudding
  4. Banana Cheesecake

Food
Banana Cheesecake (RM7.90)




Presentation
The dessert in Kissaten, I realised, is decorated at a minimum. The cake is just placed in the middle of the plate.

Taste
The banana fruit in the cake blends well with the cheese taste. It goes smoothly together with the cheesecake. The layer of choc at the bottom gives and ending to the taste of the cheesecake in a flavourful way.
The cake however could be quite filling  if taken by just one pax. I would advise ordering this piece of cake to share between 2 pax or 3 if all had taken dinner.

RECOMMENDED
A nice piece of cake with well supported base of choc. Banana fruit meat gives the cheese a complimentary taste.
