The invigorating scent from a baking aged apple is one that cares for the senses – gentle and comforting.

A beautiful Literal interpretation

Hasselback apple crumble with rum and raisin ice cream
This dessert is an example of those pastries not easily available at the counter of any confectionary shop or cafe. This fancy dessert requires 24 hours to come together, to be pieced lovingly by the couple, Ervinna and Arthur Li. What makes this delightful dish stand out from its competitors is the role-reversal of ingredients; the usual Apple crumbles from other shops focus on the apple finding its place within the pastry. It is not so for Ervinna and Arthur’s Hasselback apple crumble where the limelight is solely on the caramelized and aged apple, with literally, crumbles of pastry dough arranged artistically on and within the folds of the hasselback apple. This method ensures that the flavour of the aromatic apple greets your palate, instead of the usual flakes of pastry that do. What makes this dessert even more enjoyable, albeit sinful, is their generous dollop of rum and raisin ice cream over the pastry. This is the first confectionary I have tried where melted ice cream is not an issue to lament over. The melted but tangy ice cream base of French vanilla bean cascading down the folds of the hasselback apple, makes it a luxuriant treat for the senses. This unique dessert, the first literal interpretation of the common dessert Apple Crumble, is available only at ErviArtz Café. As the dessert takes a day to come together, the café owners would appreciate it if reservations for this dessert were made one day prior to your visit. The address of the cafe with its contact details are as follows, with reservations for your visit to be done through their website:
