The moment your elder takes a bite and goes quiet, that is the sign you ordered the right thing. The Orh Blanc Tart by Patisserie CLE is where Teochew heritage meets French patisserie discipline: a daily-steamed fresh yam paste, double-sifted to velvet smoothness, nestled in a hand-pressed pate sablee that snaps clean every time. Modern enough for the gram. Authentic enough for the elders. Impressive enough for the office.
The One That Passes Every Test
You have been here before. You spot something beautiful online, add it to the group chat, and then someone's mum asks: "Got the real taste or not?" The Orh Blanc Tart resolves that tension. It is a proper yam tart in the truest sense, built for the table where everyone's expectations need to be met at once.
Why This Is Not Your Average Taro Dessert
01 / The Paste
100% Fresh Yam. No Powder. No Purple Dye.
Most "taro" products on the market use stabilised powder to hit that purple hue. We hand-peel and steam whole premium yams daily. The result is a natural, pale lilac colour and a dense, earthy sweetness that cannot be faked. Your elders will know immediately.
02 / The Texture
Double-Sifted for "Blanc" Smoothness
Our paste is sifted twice to remove every fibrous strand, resulting in a velvet-like consistency that melts clean on the palate. Refined without losing its soul, the way traditional Orh Nee was always meant to feel in a pastry shell.
03 / The Crust
Artisan Pate Sablee: Hand-Pressed, Blind-Baked
A soggy bottom is a social liability. Our French shortcrust is hand-pressed to a uniform thickness and blind-baked to a precise golden finish, giving you an audible snap when you cut through it, even after refrigeration. No sad, collapsed edges at the office.
04 / The Garnish
Candied Ginkgo Nuts: The Traditional Gold Standard
Each ginkgo nut is individually candied to remove its natural bitterness, leaving a soft, chewy contrast to the cream of the yam and a visual signature that tells a knowing eye: this was made properly.
Choose Your Size: Don't Get Caught Short
The social fail of running out of dessert is entirely avoidable. Our tarts come in two sizes to suit your occasion:
15cm (Small)
Serves 4 to 6 Pax
Ideal for a family Sunday brunch, an intimate in-law tea, or a small team celebration. Generous slices with no awkward halving.
20cm (Large)
Serves 8 to 10 Pax
Built for the multi-generational table or the office town hall. Centrepiece-worthy on the dessert spread. Slice it at the table for the reveal moment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many days in advance should I place my order?
We require a minimum lead time of 2 days to maintain our artisan standards. For weekend deliveries or high-stakes events like a Sunday family brunch, we strongly recommend placing your order by Wednesday evening to secure your preferred delivery slot.
Do you offer same-day delivery for the Orh Blanc Tart?
Because our yams are steamed and double-sifted fresh daily, we do not typically offer same-day delivery for whole tarts. This ensures the crust stays crisp and the paste stays light. For urgent requests, please contact our studio directly to check for any last-minute availability.
Can I include a personalised message for a birthday or celebration?
Yes. You can add a custom message of up to 25 characters in the "Message on cake" field before adding the item to your cart. We also provide a complimentary gold candle upon request, a small detail that bridges a traditional flavour with a modern celebration moment.
How should I store the tart if I am not serving it immediately?
Keep the Orh Blanc Tart refrigerated at all times and consume within 48 hours to maintain the integrity of the shortcrust. For the best flavour, remove it from the fridge 15 minutes before serving. That short rest is enough time for the natural yam aromas to bloom, which is the detail your most traditional guests will notice first.
