What are these pretty things, petits fours from some exclusive French patisserie?
No,you're looking at a Chinese dessert, taken off a dim sum cart at the Golden Dragon in downtown Los Angeles.
The delicate tones are so springlike. But the dark layer is something you're not likely to find at an exclusive French patisserie--black beans.
Not pastries, these are gelatin desserts set so firmly that, if you're not adept with chopsticks and dropped one, there'd be no embarrassing mess on the table. And not a crack or crumble to make it any less pretty.
