Dessert Review: Strawberry Mascarpone

No meal is ever completed without desserts. We had ordered Strawberry Mascarpone and Chocolate Berry Meringue for dessert after our main dishes of Chicken Escalope and Pollo Pizza.

Mascarpone is is an Italian triple-cream cheese, originated in the area between Lodi and Abbiategrasso, Italy, southwest of Milan, probably in the late 16th or early 17th century.

Basically, this is a strawberry cheesecake that we had ordered.

Food
Strawberry Mascarpone (RM12.50)
A.K.A Strawberry Cheesecake

Presentation
An italian cheesecake that comes with crusted biscuits at the bottom. There are small chunks of strawberries in the cheesecake. Strawberry puree was also mixed into the cheesecake to give it the red strawberry colour in the cheesecake.



Taste
With the mascarpone cheese, it gives the cheesecake a very buttery smooth texture, to be exact it has a very creamy texture. There are small chunks of  strawberries in the cheesecake though mostly are concentrated in the centre of the cake. As with the strawberry to whet the appetite, I dont find it too cheesy.



RECOMMENDED

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.

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.

Fish & Co Dessert

Fish & Co has a separate menu on the cakes they are selling. Though they do not have a lot of choices and 2 of them were not available when we visited them. We had ordered: Carrot Cake and New York Cheesecake.

Dessert Carrot Cake:

Presentation:
A large slice of carrot cake with white choc on the top and in between the layers. Pistachio nuts bits were sprinkled on the top layer.

Taste:
The carrot cake has a relatively strong carrot taste, as expected, and contains a mild cinnamon flavour. Inside the cake are pecan bits which adds crunchyness to the rough texture already present in the cake. The white choc gives the cake the sweetness which is slightly over the limit.


New York Cheesecake:

Presentation:
The cake that came was very different from the picture in the menu. The one in the menu is just a cheesecake with caramel poured on top of the cake. What came was one with a choc top layer. The cake was about 2 inches tall.

Taste:
This cheesecake is very heavy in flavour and the chesse taste is plentiful. The texture is very creamy and just taking 1 piece of the cake will be enough to make a lady feel quite full and sinful.
