Last but not least, the meal ended on a high with a juicy wedge of sweet melon with creamy Hokkaido milk ice cream, and their signature Matcha Financiers. I dare say one of the best matcha bake I have tried, the texture was amazing - crisp-crunchy on the outside and moist within. There was also the umami fragrance, earthy savoury tea flavour, and the warm caramelised exterior.
