Ong Katsura｜A rare Fine Dining dessert in Tainan

The theme of this season's menu is called "Fantasist". The chef uses a unique combination of ingredients to break away from the traditional framework and create a dreamy taste buds experience, suitable for dessert lovers who pursue innovation and surprise.

Fantasist Dessert Menu

Lemon / Bao Seed tea / Mung bean Paste

The tea is made into leaf-shaped biscuits, decorated with butterflies carved from passion fruit, with lemon meat soaked in flower wine, mung bean paste meringue, and lemon almond cake as the base. In the center is a flowing Sicilian custard molecular ball, slightly sour and slightly sweet, with excellent appetizing effect. It's a pity that you have to taste it separately, and there are fewer surprises stacked in layers.

Comb melon / Sabayon / Meringue (recommended! ）

The roasted comb melon flower is filled with osmanthus meringue inside, the bottom is covered with comb melon shredded cinnamon cake, the outer layer is covered with sugar shredded, and it is served with French salted caramel Shabayon. I never thought that guaguahua could be turned into a dessert, but it was unexpectedly delicious and creative!

Rose / Strawberry / white bitter melon (recommended! ）

White bitter gourds marinated in strawberry vinegar, stacked in layers in the shape of petals, with vanilla seed mousse, set off with rose chantilly, clarified strawberry jelly and fresh strawberries, decorated with peppermint oil made by Shufei method. Bitter gourd has no bitter taste and is fully integrated into the overall flavor. The combination of this dish is very surprising!

Mulberry / avocado / coffee(Super recommended! ）

This dessert is paired with a cup of green tea with wood-fired dried longan, osmanthus, and jasmine aromas. It is smoked through walnut and barrel wood to add a sense of layering. The bottom layer is Taiwanese avocado cream, there is chocolate ganache + coffee + blackcurrant jelly in the middle, and dried mulberries soaked in coffee wine sugar liquid to increase the taste, and the upper layer is Mascarpone. The overall feeling is inspired by tiramisu. The rich sweetness is perfectly matched with the balance of the tea soup to reduce the greasy taste. It is a favorite of this game!

Colorful / Cocoa malt / Pork crisp

The outer layer is made of cocoa malt soft biscuits, and the sandwich is filled with colorful cream. The salty taste comes from the pork crisp of the old Tainan store, which has a flavor similar to milkfish crisp. The overall performance is well-behaved, with fewer surprises, which is a pity as the finale.

Overall dining experience and personal feelings

Overall, Ong Katsura's fantasist menu is full of creativity and beauty. Although a few desserts still have room for improvement in taste fusion, it does not affect the overall enjoyment of the meal. Compared with other Tainan dessert shops, Katsura has a significantly higher degree of creativity and intentions, and its CP value is quite good. It is very recommended for friends who are pursuing a refined dessert experience, or who want to have a different date itinerary.

It is rare to see such a meticulous and Fine Dining dessert restaurant in Tainan. I hope that more people can support such a restaurant so that more innovative dishes can continue to develop.
