High Spirits Tea Party @ Tarte by Cheryl Koh

After the beautiful experience of Sensory Indulgence II, I’m all set for what’s next to come from The Other Me, and so here I am at Tarte by Cheryl Koh for High Spirits Tea Party!

Specially crafted tarts and curated spirits make one’s day beautiful!

Tomato Bruschetta Tart is definitely my favourite of the day. The tomato cubes are so juicy and refreshing in taste. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar render the taste of tart more exotic, unique, complex and flavourful. This cements my impression that the savoury tarts here are the best!

Gruyere Mushroom Tart is a nice mellow earthy treat with good texture due to the mushrooms.

Salmon Trout Roe Macaron is another savoury goodness that is full of different kinds of sweetness. The macaron is of perfect texture, being slightly chewy with a good bite.

Strawberry Tart with Vanilla Cream is the classic good crowd pleaser with good balance of flavours and textures.

Tiramisu Tart is creamy and surprisingly balanced in the taste of coffee.

Banana Pint Nut Tart has the aroma of nuts and good texture from the soft crunchiness of the pine nuts.

Gin from Celestial Spirits excites the palates with spicy bitterness.

Lovely wines from FABB Wines & Spirits to go pefectly with the tarts.

Thoughts: Fantastic Experience 💖

Sensory Indulgence @ Tarts by Cheryl Koh

One awesome thing leads to another awesome thing. After attending a wonderful event, it brings me to another one: Sensory Indulgence II, where I indulge in the unique combination of exclusively crafted desserts and premium whiskies from Old Moon Spirits. It is a palates opening experience where I get to try delectable unique tarts (foie gras tart, anyone?) and explore how awesome and varied whiskies can be.

The service here is awesome. The staff is friendly and prompt to topping up the ice and nuts.

It’s so good that I definitely look forward to Sensory Indulgence III.

Lemon Pomegranate Tart features perfectly balanced flavours and textures. It’s so amazingly good and unique. The tart taste of lemon, the tangy sweetness of pomegranate and the light sweetness of the pastry shell plus custard, all work so well together. The slightly crunchy, bouncy texture of pomegranate is chef’s kiss. It is so versatile in taste that it goes well with lots of whiskies.

Amazing curated Japanese whiskies that redefine the old world vibe of whiskies. Not a whisky fan initially, I find myself, surprisingly, enjoying these drinks. All have different taste profiles and character, making it exciting to try them.

Vanilla Pastry Cream with Fresh Strawberries is like old school favourite that will please most palates. Very good balance of flavours too.

Foie Gras Cream and Raspberry Jam Choux is my-oh-my amazingly good. Tempered with cream and raspberry, the rich savoury umami of foie gras is so perfectly balanced and realised in this dessert. My favourite for the day. I want to buy a dozen of this if there is option to.

Onion Comte with Apple Jelly Tartlet is another savoury surprise that I also love. The lovely pungency of onion comte is nicely softened by the apply jelly to be truly delightful dessert.

And it is perfection when paired with the whisky to bring out the core sweetness of the tart.

Thoughts: Love the one-of-a-kind delicious tarts ❤️
