May Pastry Party | Prestige Online

Pastry goodies in all shapes and sizes, linked only by the skills required in their creation. From meatless dim sums to indulgent tarts, pies and cakes, here are the sweet and savoury treats we’d be proud to serve at any dinner party.

Under head chef Benjamin Lee, who brought his decade-long experience in fine pastry to The Baker & The Bottleman early this year, the bakery and wine bar is making a new splash with a rotation of special pastries and baked goods available for dine-in and takeaway. While the croissants are worth a try for the unmistakable crunch from buttery paper-thin layers, the Chelsea and sub rosa buns take the spotlight with a traditional British spiced yeast dough that comes with an array of delightful toppings.

Hong Kong food innovation brand Plant Sifu collaborates with three acclaimed restaurants to reimagine dim sum with the brand’s plant-based, low-fat mince and ground pork, developed by patented food technology AROMAX. Mott 32’s version sees chef Lee Man Sing reinvent popular classics such as cheung fun, siu mai, xiao long bao and steamed soft roll.

Ecriture’s caviar and uni tart needs little introduction. This masterpiece by executive chef and general manager Maxime Gilbert is as stunning to look at as it’s scrumptious to eat: a thin buckwheat tart shell, generously topped with Royal Cristal caviar, hosts within an abundance of Hokkaido sea urchin, kabu bavaroise and creamy beurre blanc.
