" you can't really cage someone for too long, sooner or later they'll yearn to get out, break free and there's as little as you can do to stop them ".
that's exactly what i did, my hunger for desserts made me break out and rush to radisson blu. chose this today since it's very close from where i stay and i didn't really have a lot of time. so far i've been to timpani for desserts a couple of times and haven't been particularly impressed. i've always felt they're high on presentation, although the overall taste and variety could definitely do with some upgrading. sure they provide some really different desserts consisting of white chocolate and nougat, passion fruit etc. which taste decent as well but so far i haven't really come across anything here that'd make me go, wow! surprisingly, no cheesecakes either. the place definitely scores good points in terms of the ambiance and service.
1. cold coffee - 3/5
2. opera - 3/5
3. strawberry banoffee centre - 2.5/5
4. tropical pastry- 2/5
the coffee could have been a tad stronger, was a bit too mild for my taste. however it already came loaded with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. not everybody would appreciate it perhaps.
the opera, again could do with a tad more amount of coffee flavor for me. it was nice and soft otherwise.
light as a marshmallow and containing a good flavor of strawberry there's not much that can be said about the strawberry banoffee centre.
colorful and playful, although très ordinaire. topped with a few fruits and some light cream. didn't quite make the cut for me.
the prices are a bit on the higher side,
however with a 30% off scheme that they have going, it might just work for you.
average cost per person if you order a coffee and a dessert : 3-400 more or less.
