"La Dolce Vita" @ MANDARIN ORIENTAL TOKYO

[Satsuki Yanagi] September 9, 2009 17:00

   The shine6-star luxury hotel "MANDARIN ORIENTAL TOKYO" is located in the Mitsui Tower, which is located alongside Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi and Mitsui Main Building.

There is a set of Petit Gato and drinks sold at GOURMET SHOP (Gourmet Shop) on the first floor (¥1400 to no service charge), and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, you can enjoy dessert buffet (¥270 separately) called "La Dolce Vita" (¥270)heart04

In fact, I have been going around twice a month since it was just opened ... (However, if it was too long, there was no change in items so much. Recently, I've been bothering each season.)                                                       I was very interested in that chef de Patissier, who was appointed to this hotel, studied at Mr. Inamura of Hotel Seiyo Ginza, moved to the Roppongi Hills Club, and also learned that he was a chef Hiroshi Igarashi, who has also won global awards.

It starts at 15:00, but even if we arrive 15 minutes ago, there are queues with people waiting. When it's time, I'll show you to your seat one by one.

The photo above is shortly after the buffet started, but don't get in the way while many people are taking it on the plate ... I tried my best, but it was almost impossible.coldsweats02

Anyway, 2 kinds of Antome (hall cake), several kinds of cut cakes, Petit Eclair & Shoo, Demy Sec (half-life baked confectionery), Sablere, Bonbon o Chocolat, kugrof, Petide Niche, Chocolat fondow, fruit compote, various kinds of glass desserts, sandwiches, salty, etc ... There are also corn sare (s, etc.                                    

And when they are gone, different items come out one after another.sign01mandarin13.jpg

Antleme (hall cake) is also matcha mousse, chocolate le (milk chocolate) & pistasch mousse, Paris brest, Chocolat mousse & Banner Numusse, Gato Chocolat, Mont Blanc, etc. ... Gomennasai, I can't write cryingit. This Mont Blanc, as expected, came to the time of chef Inamura of "Hotel Seiyo Ginza", and assembling and dough (Chief Igarashi is a chestnut powder (?) It seems to be a little different, but I am very happy because the parts such as claim pastière, claim shanti, and marron gasse are similar.heart01                 

As for drinks, there are 3 to 4 recommended teas for each season, and the hotel's original "Mandarin Oriental Tea", several flavor teas, coffee (hot & ice) including cafe au lait and cappuccino etc. You can also order.

Oh, I forgot! As usual, glasses and Sorbe (ice cream & sherbet) are distributed, but on this day there was a "shaved ice" machine, where you could make your favorite shaved ice with several toppings and sauces.

Here, among those who go around dessert buffets at various places, it seems that there is an evaluation that there is "Patch & Hazure" such as "I didn't do that today" or "I was only cut cake" ...      I don't expect "I can always get that cakesign03", but I think it's better to enjoy Sweets that day, "What can I do today?"heart04
