JANICE WONG

Beautiful dessert dinner with my friend at JANICE WONG

You may know the name, Janice Wong, who is a very famous Singaporean pastry chef. She is not only a chef but also an artist, so all of her desserts are so well-designed, stylish, and very artistic.

I had wanted to try her desserts for a long time and finally, last Sunday, I was able to go to her second shop which is located in Shinjuku, Tokyo. There were several courses there and we chose seven dessert dished with six non alcohol pairing drinks.

I was surprised by the taste and the texture of each desserts and enjoyed them talking with my friend. I learned that it is very important to think about how to make one plate attractive. There were some pastry chefs there and I realized that they were using a dish as if a piece of white paper and were trying to paint it beautifully. There were so many things to learn not only the desserts but also the atmosphere, services and so on. I would like to visit there again someday..

一つ一つの作品に驚かされ、楽しませてもらえた、そんな印象です。

焼き菓子など、持ち運べるお菓子は作る私ですがデセールのように

「作ってすぐに消えてしまうアート」はとても魅力的で心が動かされました。

メニューは季節ごとに異なるのでまたいつか来られたらいいな…

I hope you have a wonderful day,

Yuriko
