A great dessert box to quell your orh nee craving, The French Pastry Pâtisserie’s signature Orh Nee Petit Gâteaux ($29) was quite the treat for me - a self-proclaim taro enthusiast. Though my least favourite has got to be the Orh Nee Cheese Tart as the cheese element in the layered dome tasted a little strong (kinda overpowering the yam flavour) and in general quite off to me. Its crunchy French butter tart shell base with coconut-almond frangipane, however, was quite enjoyable.

Adorned with candied ginko nuts and bright roasted pumpkin cream, the yam-scented French crêpes were assembled with a fairly light-tasting Orh Nee-infused pastry cream. The flavours were a tad muted but the sweetness was just right and the almost melty-soft slice was evenly stacked. Similarly, the Orh Nee Mochi Soufflé Roll was a fluffy number. The souffle sponge had a mild fragrance which paired nicely with the delicate Orh Nee cream and tender milk mochi squares. Lastly, my pick would be the Orh Nee Salted Egg Choux Puff. A lovely textural contrast to the others, the slight crispy choux puff came together nicely with the Orh Nee filling and surprisingly savoury salted egg lava custard. The luscious custard wasn’t grainy, did not taste cloying and had a pleasant lingering aroma. Overall, with all the pastries, I like the natural yam taste you get with each forkful.
