Frankly speaking, Leackbaer's display counter looks very attractive and will make many stop in their tracks to take a second look for the dainty, colourful tarts. Even the cream puffs also look so good.
So since I'm just hanging around Isetan Shaw House, I take the opportunity grab a lovely-looking puff here and then find a nice seat to rest, relax and watch people passing by.
Raspberry Skåkager is of nice tangy sweetness. The tart base is pretty hard to break with utensils, but it is surprisingly crumbly when biting on it.
Passion and Verbena Tart is very refreshing in taste, being full of zest due to the passionfruit jam at the bottom. The cream added on top cut down the tangy taste nicely for a more well-rounded taste.
Spicy Mango puff is interesting. There is a hint of spice in the taste. It's an acquired taste, I feel.
Strawberry and Cream Puff has a nice, slightly crispy, biscuit-like crust over the top of the puff pastry. And within the pastry is creamy goodness packed with tangy real flavour of strawberries. This is my favourite puff of the two.
The assortment of tarts and cakes makes for very pretty and impressive gift to loved ones. Crowd favourite is Matcha and those with cake base. Yes, I love the ones with cake base! They are delicious.
Thoughts: Cool and pretty place to chill
