モンブラン見っけ
Finally, after 1.5 years of searching, I found a decent mont blanc in town.
mont blanc creme cake @ La Paleta
A lone chestnut and a chocolate disc on top.
Chestnut paste (it could have been a tad lighter, I admit) spiraling down from the outside.
Cold whipped cream (and not the bad kind either) stuffed to the brim on the inside.
Chestnut mousse, with a hint of rum, underneath.
All layered on a tart base.
If only mont blancs had a longer shelf life...La Paleta is too far to traverse on a whim. It's a pity Bellagio doesn't do mont blancs.
