“Berries are the juicy joy of the season,” said Patrick Duff, W Taipei Director of Beverage and Food. “This time we prepare the berry-themed light buffet catering to the ladies who love the sweet and sour flavors and to spend the laid-back afternoon with their BFF (Best Friends Forever) at our cheerful and cozy restaurant.” 

W Taipei's Sweetologist Yu Mei Ho has played with various berries and ingredients in the creative pastry items. The most popular one by the ladies is Forest berries trifle chocolate lady finger shooter served in a transparent glass with layers of different textures, from the top of strawberry jam over the vanilla crème Anglaise, fresh blue berries and cranberries in the middle, to the bottom of a chocolate brownie. One scoop can taste the mix flavors of the charming cake and fruity cream. Summer berries with coffee sabayon is the refreshing dessert to breeze along in the sticky season. For those who have a sweet tooth, the chef's recommendations are Chocolate black berry tart (70% Chantilly Guanaja chocolate and fresh black berries in a crunchy tart) and Strawberry cone, apricot cream, honeycomb (the strawberry-flavored white chocolate with thick apricot jam and a piece of fresh honeycomb, turning up the volume of sweetness to the top). Three exclusive Homemade Sorbets (Tropical fruits, Strawberry and vanilla, and Berries) are the must-try as the finale of the sweet gourmet journey.            

While enjoying the sweets from the buffet station, scrumptious savories designed by Executive Chef Bradley Froehlich are also served to arouse your appetite.
