Yuzu Parfait

I shared this Yuzu Parfait (MYR23.80 nett) with my friends at Nana Green Tea eatery. Yuzu is a citrus fruit that looks somewhat like a yellowish mandarin orange with a unique fragrant taste which I like when I ate it in Kyoto so that is why I bought this parfait to eat. The many layers are (from bottom to top):

1. Yuzu jam sauce with slices of yuzu peel and small cubes of yuzu jelly in it. The sauce has the nice Yuzu fragrance so it tastes good.

2. Vanilla ice cream is quite sweet.

3. Corn flakes to give it a different texture, a crunchy texture

4. Two bigger cubes of warabimochi which is a jelly like cube made from bracken starch. Bracken starch is made from the rhizomes (underground stems) of bracken which is a large fern. I prefer the warabimochi I ate in Kyoto which is more refreshing whereas this texture is more gooey.

5. A big white ball of Yuzu sorbet. This is the best, gives very refreshing taste. I wish they would just sell this Yuzu sorbet on its own.

6. A smaller brown ball of Shiro-an which is a sweet white bean paste made from white kidney beans. I don't quite like this paste because it tastes just sweet to me, without any other taste.

7. Whipped cream at the top drizzled with Yuzu sauce.

Overall, this dessert is very sweet so unless you have a very sweet tooth, it is best to share this with more than one friend.

Nana has monthly special sweets and special food menu. Please click the above for a bigger image to read the food items for the June's special.

This month, they have Yuzu citrus specials and I chose to have the parfait instead of the hot cakes (pancakes). I wonder what specials will they have for July.
