Nestled in the heart of Hilton Singapore’s Orchard, the Ginger.Lily lobby bar and lounge is proud to unveil its latest culinary masterpiece: “Artistry in Bloom,” an exquisite collection of nature-inspired cakes meticulously crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Cindy Khoo. These delectable creations seamlessly blend the finesse of French culinary techniques with the artistry of Japanese premium ingredients, mirroring the botanical wonder that surrounds Ginger.Lily.
Chef Cindy’s artistry is a reflection of her deep appreciation for Japanese pastries and her strong foundation in classical French baking, all enriched by her extensive exploration of tea houses, renowned confectionaries, and immersive experiences in Kyoto, Osaka, and Tokyo. Her culinary journey through Japan’s rich gastronomic landscape, including visits to famous pâtisseries like RAU Kyoto, masterclasses with wagashi experts, and inspirational explorations at teamLab and Tokyo Metropolitan Gardens, is intricately woven into each of these exquisite creations.
This poetic symphony of flavours and textures reaches its crescendo in “The Sunflower” (whole S$75, small S$12). A masterpiece that marries Bergamot Tea-infused Pain de Gênes with a rich Alphonso Mango Compote and Mango Mousse, this cake evokes the sensation of a sun-kissed garden in full bloom. This is also one of AVENUE ONE‘s favourites, as its nuanced taste delight our palate as much as our eyes.
Equally captivating is the vibrantly purple “Manuka Beni Haruka” (whole S$75, small S$12), where the velvety embrace of Japanese Sweet Potato Mousse harmonises with Mandarin Orange Spiced Compote, Manuka Honey, and Hazelnut Joconde Sponge.
