Love Nutrient Roots Dessert Bar @ The Museum Hotel, Georgetown, Penang.

New kid on the block- Roots Dessert Bar, joins the plenitude of dessert cafes inwards Penang but the newly opened dessert bar sure has something upwards its sleeves- the carte du jour comprises of an array of uncommon desserts has for certain come upwards to merit the title... equally a 'dessert bar'. Do non await to respect simply about conventional cakes hither but instead, artisan desserts as well as pastries that would delight whatever stubborn diners. Taste is non the alone matter that they are focusing on, the presentation counts. Inspired to serve plated desserts, Roots pays keen attending to its nutrient presentation. Combination as well as flavors are meticulously paired as well as idea through; though Roots offers lite snacks (jaffles) also but the desserts are likely their inwardness competencies. So teach ahead as well as companionship their desserts first. Roots Dessert Bar is a few doors away from The Little Journeyman Cafe at The Museum Hotel, off Transfer Road. 



Matcha & Milk (Rm 18)


Tofu Cheesecake (Rm 17)

Every serving of dessert is a slice of fine art inwards Roots, the Matcha & Milk has shades of Panna Cotta but infused alongside Matcha as well as served alongside Red Beans, jeweled alongside a scoop of Matcha Ice Cream. The texture was creamy as well as smoothen but it barely registered whatever sweetness. The sweetness comes from the familiar combination of Red Beans as well as Matcha Ice Cream, that whatever Matcha fiends would hold upwards able to relate.

There is no amend report of texture than Roots' Tofu Cheesecake, non alone that it was artfully presented, it was cleverly served alongside Honeycomb as well as Lime-infused Jelly. The Cheesecake was delicious alongside creamy as well as soft texture but nosotros idea it could hold upwards cheesier. The crusty Honeycomb offered simply about other crispy dimension spell the acidic-jelly cuts through the creaminess of the cake. As expected, our untrained palate could non discern the Tofu chemical cistron but nosotros beloved the fact that the cake was brilliantly sweetened. As for those who take away the extra sweetness to cheer upwards their day, the Gula Melaka comes to rescue.
