Don't be late, for this very important dessert date: This new wonderland of eat-me treats by hat-sporting MasterChef Asia standout Marcus Low in Damansara Uptown will have customers grinning like a Cheshire Cat - perfect for a mad tea party.
The rabbit hole leads to a series of playful plated indulgences - Bubur Cha Cha reimagines the classic Malaysian childhood favourite, hatching fresh textures from familiar flavours, crowned with coconut ice cream infused with sweet potato & yam, layered with pumpkin brulee, coconut pearls & a sweet-potato-&-yam cake for a triumph of taste & technique (RM23). Chocolate Delice is swoon-worthy in its sheer sumptuousness, centred on a slab-shaped ganache of French Cacao Berry 'Ocoa' 70 percent dark chocolate, completed with buttermilk ice cream, zesty milk kefir gel made with cultured cream, & a crumbly soil of chocolate shortbread & caramelised waffle bits, for a pleasurable interplay of the smooth & the gritty (RM25).
The Queen of Hearts would be pleased with these vibrant-hued tarts that take a tangy twist, the first constructed with passion fruit & miso ganache, passion fruit jelly & miso panna cotta spiked with taucu sauce for a simultaneous hit of the sugary & savoury (RM15), the second with pressed watermelon, assam boi curd, assam-soaked sponge cake & a mint veil (RM15).
Chocolate ranks prominently among Mad Hatter's flagship offerings - Chocolate Calamansi wraps a core of calamansi curd with the salted praline crunch of hazelnut feuilletine in a sensuous dome of dark chocolate mousse (RM17). Complement the meal with hot chocolate that's made extra-rich with the Ocoa blend, which Mad Hatter also relies on to prepare its brownies.
