Tropical Stick @ The Loaf
I must admit the name is strange yet funny especially when it looks nothing like a stick. I was curious, hence why I decided to stray away from something chocolatey.
Tropical Stick - RM3.50
Fragrant raisin + Sugar dough with a cup of English tea to start your day.
I wasn't sure how it was going to taste like. So I cut a tiny bit to have a closer look at the layers before doing the taste test.
It's a thin base with raspberry jam spread over it, sprinkled with raisins. The middle layer, that they call Sour dough tastes a lot like brioche. Then covered with a layer of ground almonds. Topped off with toasted sliced almonds, chocolate chips and dusted lightly with icing sugar.
This is quite a heavy dessert! The brioche-like sour dough is quite rich. The ground almonds adds to a lovely texture, taste and smell (I'm a huge almond/marzipan fan!!). The slight hint of sourness that comes from the raspberry jam and raisins gives it a great balance. And I of course picked at the chocolate chips first before eating the rest of it. Lol! I rather enjoyed the Tropical Stick. ;p
I'm not sure about having this for breakfast, but maybe brunch or tea with a cup of Earl Grey or English Breakfast.
