Donkey Dessert - Merchant Reviews

Founder of Harvard Gregoire Ferrandi from the dessert world, the store is located in a European-style courtyard with flowers and trees, and with these two points alone, Donkey Dessert can become a cake shop you should not miss in Shenzhen.

Not counting the seasonal new products launched every month, there are more than 20 kinds of regular cakes for donkey desserts. If the choice is difficult, you can try the mini to fight at will, and you can get 3 small players for 25 yuan, which is most suitable for diners who dare not order more for budget and appetite, and at the same time are greedy to try it. The standard configuration of the random spelling is the mini tiramisu black elf brownie, the advantage of the three is that the sweetness control is very restrained, the tiramisu is bud-shaped, except for the bottom of the soaked coffee, the rest of the parts are smooth and boundless mousse; The main body of the Black Elf and Brownie is a high-quality chocolate, the former is soft and wet, the latter is dry and firm, and the walnut filling provides a rich chewing taste.

The opera house and mango cheese also make cameo appearances from time to time. The mango puree sets the fresh tone, and when paired with the light taste of the Eita Cream Cheese, you can enjoy a soft and harmonious eating experience, and savor the sweetness of Cointreau orange wine. Compared with chocolate desserts, although it will not give you a shocking sensation in your mouth, it will not bring too much burden to your taste and stomach, and it is the most healing and greasy to eat in summer. The opera house uses chocolate and coffee to create a rich layer, and the two aggressive flavours are intertwined to try to impress diners with their richness, but the layers are too hard to achieve the perfect cut, so the scene can be a bit awkward, but overall, Donkey Desserts' chocolate series cakes are safe options that don't go wrong, so you can try them with confidence.

Tanned coconut is the golden sign of donkey dessert. It's rare not to be robbed of the scene by chocolate, and the gentle and gentle coconut fragrance has become the main tone of the taste. The coconut chocolate pound cake has a rough taste, the tongue can rub a slight graininess, and the delicate caramel sauce and caramel mousse are very flattering, and the overall taste is round and smooth, which may be slightly sweet, and it is recommended to pair it with coffee or tea, it is a vibrant afternoon tea snack.

However, other styles of donkey desserts have faced mixed reputations. The lemon tart has a fluffy baked egg white on the top of its head, which looks well-behaved, and there is a lemon flow in the middle; However, if the tolerance to sweet and sour taste is low, then this configuration is easy to get greasy, and the tart base is hard, which is easy to discourage the enthusiasm for eating. Passion fruit mousse, crème brûlée, strawberry tart, and other regular legions in the freezer have had similar problems with sweetness and greasy, so it is recommended to eat it with tea or coffee. Donkey dessert currently has two kinds of afternoon tea sets, 38 yuan for a single person (you can choose a unit price ≤28 yuan French dessert and a cup of coffee/tea), and 155 yuan for a multi-person party (you can choose two French desserts, two tuna sandwiches, two handmade cookies, one macaron, one fruit, 6 mini snacks). It is important to note that the fruit tea of the Donkey Dessert is red wine-based, so diners who are allergic to alcohol or who come by car should remember to avoid this meal.

There's no denying that whether or not the cake taste of Donkey Dessert is to your heart's content, its setting is pleasantly surprised. From the arched flower gate entwined with vines, to the red roses blooming in the courtyard, the mottled shadows of Taiwanese acacia trees and bauhinia, as well as small bridges and gurgling water, taking advantage of the smooth weather and the breeze to sit there in the insect chirping birds, it really makes people feel relaxed and forget to return. The table, chair and lamp murals in the house are all purchased from Shanghai antique shops, and each table is equipped with a single phalaenopsis, lily of the valley or dancing orchid, and two special florists are responsible for the decoration of the donkey flower room, even indoors is like being in a flower garden. A slight reminder is that when enjoying the cake outdoors, the rhythm should not be too slow, so as not to forget to eat it and miss the best time to enjoy it.

The name of the donkey dessert may not be romantic enough, in fact, this is the founder's metaphor for himself working hard in the dessert like a donkey, and at the same time, the founder is also a senior donkey friend, and opened a hostel - CREMA donkey bar, and two donkey bars and cafes in OCT, and some cakes will be sold in the bar. In comparison, the reputation of Donkey Dessert OCT store is much inferior to that of Shekou store, whether it is in terms of service or production, OCT has suffered a lot of criticism, and has been rated by many diners as "a store that can only eat the environment"; In addition, the cakes in OCT are also sold out quickly, so we recommend diners to go to the Shekou restaurant to dine.
