Chocolate strawberry pavlova with chardonnay gelée at Sift.

FEAST FOR FANATICS

 

Dessert bar. The shop entrance is nondescript with concrete floors and floor-to-ceiling windows and door. Light music plays in the background. Diners can either sit at the bar and watch their desserts being prepared, or at tables and chairs in the small space. The turnover is relatively fast and quiet on weekdays. HK$504 including drinks Dessert fanatics One of the most popular orders the evening we went was the chocolate and strawberry pavlova with chardonnay gelée and it's not hard to see why. The chocolate pavlova has a delicate and crunchy outer layer, and the sweetness is balanced by the strawberries, while the taste lingers with some of the wine jelly. Another relatively light dessert that is not too sweet is the lemon trio of a delicious lemon tart, a lemon macaron and a mini-floating island in lemon cream. For something more decadent, the chocolate molten cake oozes with dark richness, countered with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The strawberry cheesecake sundae was an interesting presentation in a tall glass, layered with strawberries, and sour cream cheesecake topped with a scoop of strawberry ice cream that was slightly difficult to eat. Wines, tea and coffee. Bernice Chan
