The biggest selling point of DreamLeague is that the two founders who graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in France, and they have the aura of being an industry benchmark, which means that DreamLeague must at least come up with textbook-like works in order to convince the public. Judging by its current performance, DreamLeague at least lives up to its hefty pricing.
DreamLeague的价格确实偏高,最低以38元起跳,多数单品在48-78元之间,原材料的严格甄选是其最主要原因。Pound cake几乎是最质朴,技术难度最低的甜品,但也正因为其Rough and direct, the quality of the raw materials can be known in one bite.DL选择了ELLE&VIRE铁塔爱乐薇黄油与66%法芙娜巧克力相互交战,融合成扎实但沉稳的口感;而最后打造出的柔和均衡,只有被誉为“盐中劳斯莱斯”的Fleur de sel盐之花才能做到,咸而不苦更能凸显食材本味。
The restraint in sweetness is also the strength of DL, which is vividly reflected in the tea mousse. Earl Grey Mousse is a dazzling cake with six layers of inner core built into a small body, even if the white chocolate and vanilla crust are armed from head to toe, the most prominent thing is the clear and delicate aroma created by Earl Grey tea, mixed with mascarpone cheese, which is refreshing and unburdened in the mouth. The same effect of four or two thousand catties to create a shallow taste is also matcha mousse, selected in the monopoly of the matcha brand of the most famous Marukyu Koyama Garden as the main ingredient, elegant and pure tea flavor overflowing bitter, in the middle part of the raspberry granules to improve the taste brightness, the perfect harmony of only matcha when the single flavoring, the chef's ingenuity can be seen.
If you want to eat the sweet taste of the mouth, the traditional French dessert Saint-Dono-noir is definitely a place to try. DL is one of the few cake shops in Shenzhen that is making Santo Dono's black, and the reason is that this dessert has a lot of tedious processes, and most of them don't want to take the trouble of doing so. Made up of cream, puffs and tart crusts, the most complex step is the creation of French puffs. The traditional French puff crisp is not the first, but more fluffy and completely hollow; A puff that is crispy on the outside and hollow on the inside needs to go through steps such as milk fried noodles and flour gelatinization until the oven is high to push up the small dough with micro bubbles, and then fill it with cream to achieve a cloud-light taste. The different flavors of traditional Santo Dono Black mainly come from the variation of the puff filling, DL has made innovations in the mousse and sandwich, such as coffee dark chocolate San Dono Black, which is filled with coffee ganache filling in the chocolate meringue foam, and uses 70% Valrhona dark mousse and protein hazelnut crisp as the tart base, and the oily aroma of nuts makes the taste more three-dimensional and more interesting to chew.
DL also has many star items, such as the apple cinnamon cake that is considered by the chef to be a natural match, the apple can be eaten as a green apple with strong sweetness, and there is no greed for cheap choice of red apples, which makes the apple flavor of the whole cake not overshadowed by the aggressive cinnamon, both are on the balance of balance, plus the pleasing almond shortbread tart base, the taste of the whole dessert is exciting and not sweet, and the eating experience with tea is even better. However, there are still a lot of controversies in some Internet celebrity items, such as the appearance of strawberry cake, the chef also chose mascarpone cheese, an old friend, trying to form a dense and long taste with strawberries, but unfortunately the overall seasoning is too bland, and strawberries can be eaten a little sweet if they are in season; But when the strawberry wilts, this dessert is too palatable, the taste is loose and lukewarm, and even escapes bursts of unmatched green fruit acid, which really wastes its beauty. The main promotion of tiramisu in the box cake, the cream ratio is extremely inappropriate, a spoonful of only finger cake and cake, cream without a trace, the key is in the product picture, the cream thickness accounts for almost half of the thickness of the cake, the degree of difference is comparable to before and after plastic surgery, coupled with the improper control of the acidity of the coffee, the overall taste is sour and dry, and the heavy sweetness and light bitterness of tiramisu have become heavy and sour and light bitter, which is not recommended as the main recommendation.
And the most criticized thing about DL is definitely its service and drinks. When the dessert is freshly prepared and needs to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to reach its best taste, the DL waiter does not give any warning, and it is not uncommon for arguments with customers to occur. In addition, 45 yuan/pot of tea is only accompanied by one cup, and the rule of adding 20 yuan for additional teacups can also be called an overlord clause, which is not humane at all. THE TEA SERVED IN THE STORE IS MARIAGE FRÈRES, A FRENCH NATIONAL TREASURE, WHICH IS RELATIVELY LIGHT BUT STILL WITHIN THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE; The outrageous point is that the coffee and soft drinks are so badly served that the staff doesn't even know the beans and the basic brewing methods, and the drinks are either too sweet or tasteless, so it is really not recommended for diners who dine in the restaurant to order these two types of drinks. In addition, the interior environment follows the most basic Internet celebrity store standard, with white as the main color, gold chairs and marble saucers are common, but the store is small and the circulation line is crowded, and diners who want to take photos may not be able to show their strengths.
