Tom Yum ice pearls deliver the literally cool exclamation mark: pure cinematic magic! The same holds true for the sweet finale, featuring a magical honey cotta blossom, Valrhona Caramélia cream, plum syrup and jelly, ice cream crafted from toasted pine needles, caramelized milk skin, and buckwheat dust.
