Riquiqui Dessert Bar (Oct 2010)

The setting in Riquiqui is like a cute little dessert bar. The owners were great and the service were excellent. Three course dessert with choice of wine for $200. First course is an amuse bouche. Second course you have a choice. We chose the Chocolate Ganache Cake with Chocolate Tea Ice Cream and the Pineapple Polenta with Coconut Ice Cream. Third course were some petits fours. For the wine, we went with the Moscato d’Asti which is a sweet sparkling wine.

Choices for your second course!

Amuse Bouche – I think this was a Chocolate Coated Ice Cream Lollipop
A nice refreshing starter.

Chocolate Ganache Cake with Chocolate Tea Ice Cream
The chocolate ganache was a bit too rich for me, but the chocolate tea ice cream was a real gem.

Pineapple Polenta with Coconut Ice Cream
Tasted great and went well with the coconut ice cream.

Petits Fours – apricot shortbread . coconut marshmellow . almond financier
Nothing too special here, but the almond financier was nice.

Honestly, the desserts tasted great, but perhaps the price is a bit heavy at $200

Recomended:

  • Pineapple Polenta with Coconut Ice Cream
