For the sweet finale, the Melting Pot was a decadent masterpiece of chocolate mousse and passion fruit creameux, a perfect union of richness and tanginess that delighted our senses. The Mango Sago Pomelo, with its tropical allure of Alphonso mango syrup and sago pearls, offered a refreshing and blissful conclusion to the meal.
