Châteraisé sets themselves apart from its competitors by constantly delivering unique collections with seasonal fruits from Japan. They have concocted fruit cakes with persimmons, pears, grapes, plum, and even cantaloupe — always keeping their items fresh and interesting. If you enjoy fruit cakes or love fruit infused desserts in general, the options Châteraisé have are myriad, and the fact that it is always changing can keep you excited! This time, the specialty fruit brought in is the Sumo Citrus Orange, which is also known as such because of the very amusing topknot-like bump on every orange. Sumo oranges are bigger than your average orange, and trust me, they are way juicier. I know that it is the Lunar New Year season when we have more than enough mandarin oranges to consume, but you really don’t want to miss out on how juicy an orange can get. From now until the 28 February, you can get your hands on a Sumo Citrus Orange dessert at any Châteraisé outlet. Not only do they have sliced cakes, they have whole cakes, cheesecakes, crepe cakes, tarts, and even parfaits — all with this glorious orange fruit. If you’re looking for a dessert to end your Lunar New Year meal with your family, nothing is more apt than the choices in this Sumo Citrus collection.

Laid my hands on a slice of this seasonal fruit cake at the Châteraisé Toa Payoh branch, where they have seats outside (yes you don’t always have to takeaway!). The Japanese Sumo Citrus Fruits Sand slice was an absolute delight to have. The sponge cake was soft and fluffy, and the fresh cream was light and not too overpowering. The spread in between the sponge layers had bits of peach, pear, and strawberry, which gave a slight sweetness to the overall taste of the cake. The delicate sweetness was complemented with the juicy, citrus sumo orange chunks, which gave a nice tanginess to the cake.

In addition, Châteraisé has a wide range of presentable hampers and gift options for this visiting season. I always struggle finding appropriate gifts during this season, primarily because I know the many boxes of pineapple tarts, kueh bangkits, and CNY goodies some families have already. So if you are looking for easy, beautiful, and unique gift alternatives, you can consider Châteraisé’s rice cracker assortment box, which comes individually packaged for convenience as well. They also have fruit jelly assortments, sandwich cookie boxes, and even wine!

Thank you Châteraisé for the invite and very informative sharing!
