Chocolate Del Mondo dessert restaurant - lemon tart

REVIEW ON LEMON TART

The place Chocolate Del Mondo is a chocolate dessert restaurant towards the upper end of Burwood road.

Though it has many chocolate desserts, they have a lot of cakes. Some of these cakes are completely chocolate while others are not. My first time entering the place, I bought a simple lemon tart. The lemon tart looked like a small of mango gelato sitting on a tart with a chocolate rim. What I liked about this place is that they did not try to overload the chocolate on all their cakes. The lemon filling was really sour compared to the slight sweetness in the tart base. There wasn’t a thick, plastic feel comparing to the many other lemon tarts sold elsewhere when you first bite into it. This gives a fresh taste along with the crumbly biscuit of the tart. It was simply presented with melted chocolate for decoration which could be eaten with the tart. Though the cakes may been slightly expensive, I believe it is worth the money to eat a freshly made cake. The lemon tart for me was too sour, but overall it tastes great when comparing to other lemon tarts.


I would give this dessert, the lemon tart, a rating of 7 out of 10 and I can’t wait to go again and try their other desserts.

Funny Afternoon Tea desserts culture

 

   Afternoon Tea culture is originally come from England, which was a meal for people in a monarchy to spend their time gather together. Nowadays, afternoon tea becomes a popular culture between women who wanted to chit chat or to have a time with someone who have not seen for a long time.

   People are always having desserts and sandwiches during afternoon tea such as mini fruit tarts and mini sandwiches with different flavors. However, afternoon tea culture is no longer only popular in England but also many countries like America, Australia, Korea and Japan.

In this video, we can see so many traditional type mini desserts which appear in the England afternoon tea culture that something’s like cakes and tarts. However, tea culture will change followed by the local culture.
   For example, in the video above, we are able to see that, the afternoon tea culture in Japan has changed a bit as it needs to fit the Japanese food preference, so it changed the cakes and tarts into some traditional Japanese desserts called Wagashi and changed the sandwiches into udon noodles. 

Anyone who got any other special afternoon tea desserts cultures from other countries?:)
