Little Miss Bento

I was super thrilled and so happy to be invited to a Behind the Kitchen session with Chef Yamashita by Spoonful SG. I was literally bouncing in happiness in the kitchen of his store.

Helmed by Masataka Yamashita, Chef Yamashita is a Japanese artisan patisserie that sells delicious beautiful pastries and delicate Japanese style sweets.

The prices are also very reasonable for the quality – I am a huge fan of their exquisite cakes and sweets. Read more about their store in my review post here.

Do also check out Chef Yamashita’s website and facebook, where you will see many positive reviews from their customers. Yamashita san and his wife together with their team do their very best!  The store is open 7 days a week, bringing to you not just the delicious cakes but also the amazing Japanese service and hospitality – the Omotenashi. You will be leaving the store with a smile~~

We had the priviledge to learn to make Chocolate Tuile, a recipe specially shared with us. This is a chocolate version of Yamashita san’s Tuile cookie recipe in his book – Tanoshii.

Preping the almond biscuit batter – hmmm looks yum!

Then it was time to mix and shape! Hahah, the usual ‘me’ shape them into Totoro and heart shapes.

We then baked them till nicely brown. The cookies had a wonderful cocoa aroma while baking and tasted so good too!

After baking, you can curve them using a rolling pin. Since mine was in the different shapes, I left most of them as they were :)

In my review blog post on Chef Yamashita, one of the recommended items from their store is the Pudding a La Mode. So I was really very happy that in this exclusive behind the kitchen session, Yamashita san was going to teach us how to make his delicious signature pudding.

Really touched by his generosity, arigatou Gozaimasu Yamashita san!

Here we are preparing the caramel from scratch.

After baking the puddings, we then proceeded to decorate our own Pudding A La Mode!
