Xindalu shines with seasonal creations

By Xu Junqian in Shanghai | 皇冠体育app Daily | Updated: 2014-03-29 07:35

The dessert platter ends the meal with a fun twist: a scoop of ice cream flavored with black rice vinegar from Zhenjiang, a city in East 皇冠体育app that has almost been the synonym of the "hometown of Chinese vinegar".

Taking a spoonful of the silky cream into the mouth, at first we were frowning with the unasked question: "Where is the vinegar?" But as the cream melts on the tongue, the sour-sweetness reluctantly crawls out and tingles the palate relentlessly, and frowns unfold into knowing smiles.

If a dessert ends a meal like a punctuation mark ends a sentence, this one is more than a full stop. It is an exclamation point - or perhaps a question mark: Can I have a second one, please?
