Fuyuji is a popular cake shop in Nanjing, which started as an online store and opened a physical store in 2017. The store is located in the Laomen East Scenic Area and is quite popular with tourists.
The menu of Ukiki changes from time to time, and during different festivals, the store also offers holiday-only cakes, and most of these cakes are integrated with the characteristics of the festival. For example, the rose mousse launched on Valentine's Day - the roses of the city in the sky, candied roses are added to the mousse, which is quite special; Launched during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wanyue is a planned vanilla mousse with a dessert topped with a layer of mango puree and a bright yellow round cake symbolizing the moon.
The main bread and cake business is the Kiki of the Floating Encounter, and although the croissant is the signature of the Kiki of the Uki, the store originally started with cakes. There are about 20 types of cakes in the Ukiki with a variety of styles, among which the caramel sea salt chestnut tart has a high order rate. The chestnut tart is rich in layers, in addition to the chestnut mousse, chestnut puree is added as a filling, and the dessert is a chocolate chip cake base at the bottom. The chestnut tart itself is caramel flavored, and the slightly salty taste of sea salt enriches the taste layer, one sweet and one salty blends with each other. In addition to the sea salt caramel chestnut tart, Ukiyuki also has a cake with chestnuts as the main ingredient, called "Love Chestnut XO Adventure", that is, chestnut cake. Chestnut kernels are ground into chestnut puree, spread on the surface of the cake, and then mixed with chestnut flour and cream to make the filling of the cake. The chestnuts are soft and sweet, but compared to the sea salt caramel chestnut tart, the flavor level of the chestnut cake is not full enough.
Avocado mousse is one of the popular desserts of Ukiki. Looking at the cake shops in Nanjing, there are very few shops that offer avocado flavored desserts. Although it is avocado mousse, in fact, the avocado flavor in this dessert is not strong, it is relatively bland, the mousse is filled with nut kernels, and there is a hint of nutty flavor in the dessert, but unfortunately, the mousse has an average taste and is not delicate enough.
The surface of the coconut monster is covered with coconut flakes, and its appearance is cute and pleasing, which is quite popular with diners. The coconut monster is actually coconut mousse, and the dessert is covered with grated coconut and coconut cream, and the cream is filled with crushed coconut shells from the bottom of the sea, giving it a crisp and tender taste. The fly in the ointment is that the sweet taste is too sweet, which is easy to make people greasy, and it is not advisable to eat more.
There are two floors in Fuyuji, and the shop decoration is quite stylish, which is a good place for afternoon tea. In addition to the cake, the croissants of the Floating Encounter are also very good, and the more recommended ones are caramel croissants and avocado croissants. Some of the cakes can be made into larger sizes, so diners can consult for themselves. Compared with other cake shops, Fuyu Jisheng has a variety of styles and desserts, but in terms of product quality, Fuyu Ji still has a lot of room for improvement.
