Tiramisu Deluxe Cup [Photo by Wang Yuke/China Daily]

From the chocolate speciality shop Lucullus, the Tiramisu Deluxe Cup is a refreshing delight on your palate. Under a thin sprinkling of cocoa powder, the cream-rich custard is giddily soft and light – and as smooth as a baby's skin. Although normally served as a dessert, it can also serve as a palate cleanser during a heavy meal. One note: the traditional coffee-soaked ladyfinger is replaced by a thin layer of coffee-flavoured sponge cake, which would be better if the Marsala wine was stronger in the custard.
