Perhaps I'm getting old, but 3 Sugar Hits in 4 days is too much, I'm on dessert overdose and I do not want to see another so soon.
In saying that, I'm booked in for another hit tonight LOL
Just hoping that a 48hours break would be enough to reset my sweets appetite.
So, the 3rd Sugar Hit this year is at Monkey Magic, a Japanese/Western fusion restaurant in Surry Hills.

| Brown Brothers "Patricia" ; Choya Plum Wine |
There were 3 alcoholic beverages to choose from to accompany your dessert, a Brown Brothers "Patricia" Late Harversted Riesling (King Valley, VIC), Choya Plum Wine (Osaka, Japan) or Hennessy VS (Cognac, France).
I had a sip of the "Patricia", it has a fresh and sweet stoned fruit (peach or apricot ?) and honey aroma.

| Pot of Green Tea |
Tonight I swopped mine with green tea. I was actually expecting to be served matcha, but got an ordinary green tea instead. The pot of tea comes with a matcha white chocolate coated almond slivers, which has started to melt due to its close proximity to the hot teapot :P

| Black Sesame Creme Caramel |
The creamy, nutty black sesame creme caramel was served with red wine poached pear wedges, a scoop of coconut ice cream topped with cracked pink peppercorn, interesting combination of spice and sweets :) A crispy sesame pastry stick lie resting on the creme caramel, a nice contrast of texture to the plate.

| Monkey Magic's Sugar Hit |
Another one that looked deceivingly small on the picture posted on the SIFF website - it was huge !
The creme caramel was probably almost 4cm tall and 4cm wide, quite big for something so heavy and creamy.
I was struggling again to finish the dessert...I was eating it ever so slowly and had to stop a couple of times to take a breath.
I stand sat defeated from Sugar Hit ....with a spoon in hand....
oh no sweet warrior! Stand tall and hold tight to your spoon!
ReplyDeletewow you are one crazy girl. 3 sugar hits already and it's only the 7th. the monkey magic sugar hit was part of my wishlist but i sadly had to let it go due to the distance from azuma and bacco. now ur tempting me to make a special trip for it!

ReplyDeleteI've done 4 so far with 2 being on the same evening and I must say I cannot handle sugar the way I used to!
ReplyDeletemademoiselle : ah, that's right, you did azuma and glass in the same night wasn't it ? I felt that the desserts this year are more indulgent and hence more filling, or is it just me getting old lol
