The final in a series of
three special collabs between Lux Bite x N2 Gelato x Mork Hot Chocolate, K-Pop
celebrated the flavours of Korea, in the best form of all – dessert!
The warehouse style space
was set out to facilitate walk-through queues so the crowd would (ideally)
sample every stall holder’s wares.

| #nextlevel CHOCO.PIE ($9.0) |
The choco tart with
whipped green tea ganache, dark choco coated yuzu marshmallow & caramelised
rice puff was as beautiful as it sounded. It featured a rich chocolate base
with green tea and white marshmallow covering the whole base. Kind of like a
one-sided wagon wheel. It was decadent and delicious.
 |
| TUBE ($9.0) |
This tube was so much
better than the tart. It not only looked stunning, with its strawberry compote,
Korean gold leaf plum wine jelly, black sesame milk, whipped cream, mocha and
raspberry meringue, but it tasted unique on all the levels. The plum wine jelly
at the bottom was light and refreshing, the meringue disc and raspberry compote
tasted great and the addition of sago was ingenious. The only thing I didn’t
enjoy as the line of sesame milk.
 |
| MELONA'S MELONS ($8.0) |
Melon gelato with
honeydew, rambutan & coconut jelly, finished with crystallised coconut
shards & a yuzu sake pipette – not sure why I bought this as I’m not a huge
fan of melon flavoured items, and while this didn’t taste as synthetic as other
melon ice-creams, I still wouldn’t buy it again if I had the chance. The
pipette was a cute idea though.

| #LUXBITExN2 ($10.0) Inspired by Hotteok the Korean sweet pancake |
Toasted waffle, brown
sugar & cinnamon sauce, hazlenuts, roasted rice tea gelato & tea honey
by N2, red bean, peanut butter snow. All waffles have the potential to be great
in my books. Though I doubt LuxBite made their waffle, it was quite nice, even
though it was slightly soft. The ice-cream was perfectly subtle, and the tea
honey added a nice lift. There were hints of savoury from the red bean and
hazelnut which was an interesting contrast but wasn’t particularly spectacular.
TL;DR Sugarhit have
stepped it up each time, going to show that practice does indeed make perfect.
