Located on the 24th floor of Building 1 in Times Square, close to the Yangtze River, Lanmo attracts countless diners with its elegant French-style environment and long river views, and the sweet shape of the French sweet is impressive.
Decoration has always been the focus of the cake shop, and Lan Mo's design is rich and exquisite, and the scenery of the river is even more refreshing. The storefront is dominated by cobalt blue, with white brick walls reflecting marbled tables, metal materials to brighten the tone, and ceiling mirrors to enrich the sense of space. Velvet curtains, geometric chandeliers and deer head decorations add texture. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow the store to be brightly lit, while the view of the Yangtze River is unobstructed.
The environment is elegant, and Lan Mo's Fa Tian is also highlighted by gorgeous shapes, and Mount Fuji is one of the classics. The "mountain" is blue, and the white cream imitates the snow on the top of the mountain, and the hollow semicircle made of syrup is placed on the top, simulating the appearance of a volcanic eruption. The shape is eye-catching, but the taste is acceptable, the matcha mousse is mixed with red beans, and the sweetness is moderate, but some products are frozen for too long and have a hard taste.
Another dessert, Heart of the Sea, has a more eye-catching look and is preferred by female diners. The cake is heart-shaped, with an eye-catching powder blue gradient, geometric edges that make the heart of the ocean look like a diamond, and cream balls that are used as jewelry and gold leaf accents. The heart of the ocean is a combination of French tower and mousse, the bottom of the tower is rich in milk, the single sandwich is sour, and the taste is not as brilliant as the appearance. In addition, the French tower itself is hard and thick, which is not easy to break the wall, and many diners are not used to it. Comparatively speaking, the appearance of jasmine white peach is not so outstanding, but the taste is better. Jasmine white peach is a mixture of jasmine mousse, raspberry jelly and white peach filling, which is smooth and fluffy in the mouth, and slightly sweet and sour. Lan Mo adjusted the acidity of the raspberries so that they would not be too sour.
Lan Mo's service is commendable, the clerk is humble and courteous, familiar with the cake, and patiently introduced. The dessert tray is a metal-framed mirror and is equipped with metal cutlery for a more classy look. In addition, a single dessert is served with a spoon and a fork to suit the dining habits of different diners, and the service details are thoughtful, which is rare in Wuhan cake shops. At the same time, the store's restrooms are equipped with scented candles and hand sanitizer. Lan Mo is divided into a lobby and a private room area, and the private room area is only used during the main meal time. If requested by the customer at the time of reservation, the staff will set the table with balloons and flower petals. However, the dining chairs are high, so customers have to lean over to eat, which is a bit inconvenient.
