  • Quick fact: Tendou and Patisserie Kirin are one and the same or rather an evolution of the former to incorporate more coffee and pastries to their menu or so the server or attendant behind the counter told us. If you're used to more sweet ice creams, and especially if you expect matcha ice cream to be that creamy smooth sweet taste, THIS Is NOT the Ice cream for YOU. I'm not trying to shame anyone on their preferences but if the above is your expectation you may not enjoy this ice cream but I urge you to keep an open mind. The Matcha Ice Cream here has for what my partner and I that bitter sweet flavour that for us embodies the marriage between matcha powder (more earthy, bitter, and sometimes essence of the sea or seaweed tasting depending on where the matcha comes from). The sweetness is only the slighter side but you it definitely comes through and it definitely finishes with that bitter sweet highlights that remind you "oh it's matcha, nice to make your acquaintance". Kirin also has a selection reminiscent of Duo patisserie on Woodbine and Highway 7. We got the Choux A La Creme Matcha or Matcha Cream Puff. It has a lovely slightly hard texture akin to a pineapple bun, which provides a slight bite and a chew that's perfectly contrasts against the creamy filling to the matcha cream. The cream puff is also dusted with the matcha powder to again accentuate the bitter sweet flavour of the tea and the outside or the cream is brushed with a layer of simple syrup to give with a gloss and more rich colour while also offering you that slight hint of a sweeter taste against the bitter sweet of the matcha cream. Btw he presentation is not only elegant yet cute with the ornate tea spoons and dessert forks atop a small wooden carry tray. The cream puff also sits atop what can almost be described as a older candle holder with that curved protruding handle for you to grasp. We also bought two of their rectangles of layered cakes the matcha opera cake and the kirifuda. I will be updating this review later after we had a taste test post dinner meal. The take out box has a simple black design but opens on the like a butterfly door on a luxury vehicle, in that I mean it bottom front corner lifts up to allow you slide out cakes without much hassle of having to light the cake out of a box. Review of the opera cake and kirifuda. The matcha has this interplay of the bitter earthy matcha powder and the bitter sweet of the dark chocolate. It doesn't deliver very much in terms of texture but delivers a very indulgent rich envelopment in your mouth feel. I prefer the kirifuda it brings a third element or slightly tart flavour of the black currant as well as adds that praline crunch texture. The back half that looks to be covered in either chocolate, black currant or even a combination of the two add more sweetness to the cake. If you like you desserts a little sweeter the server recommended the kirifuda and the marron cakes. Also the only cake with milk chocolate is the chocolat praline. Patisserie Kirin is very much on the indulgent "spend a few more dollars" kind of fancy looking desserts. The interiors are nice and the fake marble vinyl tables give the appearance that matches the desserts. I would come back but just occasionally because "I ain't made of money yo" as my partner would say with a very bad thug like accent (lol).
