Have you ever craved a dish from a specific time? For me, it's the Gion Duck Rice at Kyoto, Japan, that I had two years ago. It was a unique dining experience in an underground, small and cozy 7-seater open kitchen restaurant serving up just one dish that they specialise which is their duck hitsumabushi, located on the busy streets of Gion.
I was visiting the North Shore area, and decided to see if luck was on my side to purchase the 'Old Baby' cake, or japonaise cake that recently went viral due to a Chinese influencer, and now the local news has been sharing the hype. Tucked away in a cute little mall in West Pymble, Du Plessy Pralin & Otello is a small chocolatier and patisserie shop that offers a selection of beautiful truffle chocolates and cakes too.
