Gifting and eating desserts has to be one of our favourite parts of the Lunar New Year celebrations. After you’ve devoured your fill of sweet rice cakes and fried sesame balls, make sure you leave some room for Tokyo Lamington’s new Year of the Tiger-inspired lamington flavours.

Created in collaboration with the Lotus Dining Group, the new selection includes three new flavours, made with auspicious ingredients.

The Tiger
Charcoal black sponge cake with a stripey yuzu, sesame cream and orange curd centre, dipped in white chocolate, covered with black sesame and orange coated coconut shreds.

The Fortune Cookie
Vanilla sponge with a crushed fortune cookie and white chocolate mousse, dipped in white chocolate, coated with a crushed cookie crumb, topped with a lucky red fortune cookie.

The Lychee
Vanilla sponge cake with lychee pieces, filled with lychee jelly cream, dipped in white chocolate sauce, coated in coconut and pistachio flakes.

Lotus Dining Group’s Head Chef, Steve Wu said “This year we wanted to create a dessert which celebrates the spirit of the tiger but also pairs well with our festive banquets.

“These three lamington flavours are delicious, and I think they will provide a balanced finish to Lunar New Year banquets across our venues, sharing happiness and prosperity with our diners.”

Lotus Dining Group x Tokyo Lamington Year of the Tiger lamingtons will be available to purchase from Jan 29 – Feb 13 or until sold out from Lotus Dining Group venues for $14 each or $29 for a pack of three for takeaway from Lotus at the Galeries or Providoor.
