Fruit soufflé and lemon Earl Grey tea
Fruit soufflé (₩18,000)
New! Lemon Earl Grey tea (₩7,000)
The fruit soufflé comes piled generously with seasonal fruit that goes so well with soufflé pancakes! Since each soufflé is made as soon as it’s ordered, it can take around 20–30 minutes, so you can order ahead too!
It arrives with a whopping four kinds of fruit—banana, kiwi, blueberry, and orange—and maple syrup is an absolute must.
The fruit soufflé comes with plenty of cream too, and honestly, it’s the kind of thing you could easily have one all to yourself. The soufflé just melts in your mouth..
So soft and fluffy—it’s practically a cloud.
The soufflé goes incredibly well with the fruit! Personally, I especially loved it with the blueberries.
Adding the tangy, nutty notes of the newly released lemon Earl Grey tea made the soufflé pairing a winner!
