Tarte By Cheryl Koh by Les Amis is established out of a corner of Caveau Bar at Shaw Centre. White-washed walls and marble tart, with a very sleek and modern with elegance in the air. I like it. The bakery is helmed by their Pastry Chef, Cheryl Koh.
Currently, only Tarts are offered in 2 sizes. The regular (16 cm diameter) with prices range from $30 – 34. And the indivdual (8 cm diameter) range from $8 – $9. You could choose to savour the simple looking, with no frills tarts at Caveau Bar or take them home to enjoy.
On the day, I was at the outlet, there were 9 flavours to choose from. I tested their first tart dining in. I was recommended the Dark Chocolate and Caramel Hazelnut but chose neither. As I wanted something lighter and less sweet. And was recommended the Mango Tart uses the seasonal Alfonso Mango. Chef Cheryl Koh aims to use only the best in the season fruits, so you could expect different tarts from time to time.
Since, I was dining in, I had a cappuccino from Caveau. Their beans were sourced from Nylon Coffee. So no doubt about the quality and taste.
The Passionfruit Meringue was amazingly refreshing with a good balance of sweetness and sourness element.
The Pistachio was light and nuttiness punch.
The Dark Chocolate was filled with rich bitter-sweet flavour notes.
The Strawberry tarts uses the French gariguette strawberries was full of sweet strawberries goodness.
All in all, the tart was simple but delish. Depending on your preference, you will find your favourite. My fave was the Passionfruit Meringue.
Carolines, mini eclairs, is expected to be introduced shortly. A pity that it is not available now. I am waiting in anticipation for this product from Tarte By Cheryl Koh.
