I must say Pier serves great dessert. I haven't been to Pier for a long long time. The last time I visted Pier, Keanu Reeves was shooting Matrix sequal in Sydney. He and his lady companion was sitting at the next table to us. He ordered a large plate of sorbets! I always have fond memory of the dessert at Pier. .-= Ellie´s last blog ..Belinda Jeffery's Flourless Chocolate, Pecan and Raspberry Torte =-.

@Karen : Hopefully her replacement can churn out similiar desserts!

@Joey : Can’t wait to read your thoughts on it.

@Arwen : Ash was nice, powdered crumble comes to mind ?

@Lili : Totally agree! I saw an article on smh about her a few years ago, she is a hard worker and it shows.

@Helen : I couldn’t afford the dinner so had to resort to dessert

@Betty : Do what I did, cheap dinner then splash on dessert

@Planning Queen : I’m not a big sweet tooth, but if I had this everday I would be.

@Penny : 2 dinners, just think of it as a degustation.

@Abercrombie : Yeah desserts these days, more than a creme brulee it seems!

@Belle : No idea, but hopefully they keep the mango dessert!

@Jacq : Just do an impromptu visit, might get away without a booking!

You are so lucky to have tried KK’s desserts before she leaves. I wonder if the desserts stay the same when the chef leaves – is there any copyright on them?

Wow I think I’d happily swap dinner in exchange for four courses of dessert! The mango desser looks so intriguing and I’ve always been a fan of soufflé. Love their ethereal lightness. Lots of interesting textures and flavours here. You guys have done well to catch her before she goes!

What was the ash like? I don't think I've seen it to eat before. The spring cannoli are very pretty. .-= Arwen from Hoglet K´s last blog ..Stardust: a recipe to celebrate Catsplat =-.

Thanks for the info, as I didn't know she was leaving! Luckily I have a booking there in a few weeks, so I hope she hasn't left by then! The photos are great! Luckily I'm still full from last night's dinner so I'm not hungry from looking at them! Hehe. .-= joey@FoodiePop´s last blog ..Confusable Words Of The Day: Nauseous/Nauseated =-.

I *love* Katrina Kanetani. She’s my pastry idol! I’m absolutely devastated that she’s moving overseas.

I’ll def have to find the time to come to Pier for dessert this December.
