Compared with Chengdu's cake market, Chongqing lacks the support of chain brands, and local brands are uneven, and there are only a handful of cake shops that can achieve stable production and exquisite appearance. Among the few cake shops, French desserts are the most popular.
Lanmo French Dessert is a cake brand born and raised in Chongqing, from its inception to the combination of training and sales, Lanmo has become the representative of Chongqing French dessert. Originally opened in Chengbei Tianjie, Lan Mo closed and reopened, becoming a training center with a construction area of 3,000 square meters. Whether it is a dessert shop or a pastry training center, Lan Mo's desserts have a personal character, not blindly imitating popular styles.
French desserts give people the initial feeling of sweetness, whether it is macarons or mousse, or puffs, Mont Blanc chestnut cake, etc., they are full of sweetness. Delicate preparation is another characteristic of French desserts, the color of the cake and the exquisite presentation make the French desserts look delicious. Coffee and tea are essential drinks to balance the sweetness, and the acidity of coffee or the bitterness of tea can reduce the sweetness.
In order to adapt to the tastes of the locals, Lan Mo retains the delicacy of the dessert shape and balances the overly sweet taste on the palate. Rouge buckle and durian cheese are the most distinctive cheesecakes of Lanmo, and they are also the two cakes that Lanmo always prepares. The rouge buckle is based on cheese, and the combination of raspberry and lychee is sweet and sour, with the aroma of roses in the aftertaste, sweet but not greasy. Durian cheese is a dessert created by Lan Mo, the delicacy of cheese blends with the freshness of durian, and the taste of durian reduces the sweetness of cheese, which is a must-order for durian lovers. The new gift melts Japanese yuzu, Tahitian vanilla pods, lemon, pistachio jam and gluten-free cake, and the lemon is fermented with the sweetness of the jam and the bitterness of the yuzu at the same time. If you like a sweeter dessert, we recommend trying the white peach oolong. White Peach Oolong is a fruit-like French dessert, the outer layer uses white chocolate to fix the dessert in the shape of a white peach, and the inner mousse cake is wrapped in oolong tea jam and white peach pulp, with a sweet and sour taste.
Lan Mo's choice of raw materials also ensures the texture of her desserts. The cream used by Lan Mo is the French brand Elevê, which ensures the lightness and delicacy of the cream in the dessert, and the chocolate mostly uses Valrhona, and the cocoa content of Guiana's dark chocolate is 70%, making the chocolate bitter and sweet are very plump, and the aftertaste has a slight acidity. High-quality raw materials are different from ordinary mass-produced cakes, and the price of Lanmo is naturally not cheap, about 120 yuan per person.
The main store of Lan Mo is located in Yubei District, the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor make the whole store bright, and the tassel chandelier, black leather chairs, and the table top of the marble table make the whole area full of modern French style, without fancy colors, only black as the keynote, calm and atmospheric. Upstairs is a professional French pastry training center, which provides teaching services for students who want to learn desserts. If you are not obsessed with the environment, it is recommended to go to the Jiefangbei store in Lanmo to taste desserts. Jiefangbei store is a newly opened branch of Lanmo, although the area is small, but the quality of desserts is the same as that of the main store. In addition to the signature cakes, there are some differences between the Jiefangbei store and the Yubei store.
However, Lan Mo's service is slightly unsatisfactory, and the introduction and recommendation of desserts are not careful enough. In particular, the waiters mostly sell desserts on the first floor, and the dining staff is on the second floor, and if you need to serve or add water, you need to go to the first floor by yourself.
