We went to Cova Pasticceria-Confetteria at Paragon for some desserts the other night. It opened in June and was definitely not a crowded place (or I always went there during weird off peak hours). It took over the spot formerly occupied by Dome as well as another unit further in. We went to the Tea Room where the desserts were and the decor in there was cozier.We shared a Sacher cake and petit pastries. Apparently it came in set of 4 pieces of your choice.
TT chose the pistachios and hazelnut chocolate tarts while I selected the cannoli (?) and raspberry chocolate tart. I love the cannoli with its amazing soft custard filling and flaky crust. The nutty chocolate tarts were good too.
The sacher was a bit of a disappointment for me. It was rich and not very sweet, yet it lacked a certain something to give it a oomph. The taste of choclate was not communicated and was quite mild. I guessed I am used to a bitter sweet dark chocolate which oozed out the decadence of fine rich chocolate.The cappucino was excellent. Fine brew with a fabulous coffee taste. It went very well with the pastries. Nice.
