A Taste of Tradition

UAE-based gifting marketplace Flowwow has come together with fine-dining Bisou restaurant to introduce an exclusive dessert to celebrate the UAE National Day (now called Eid Al Etihad). Inspired by UAE pearl diving heritage, this dessert resembles a delectable shell concealing a hidden pearl. The classic white sponge cake is layered with a creamy coconut foam and a luxurious vanilla cream pearl at its center and topped with a glossy chocolate glaze, shimmering gold and silver candurin. The dessert is available from November 25 to December 2, 2024. PS – If you’re the lucky guest who finds the golden pearl, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking bouquet of 101 roses, arranged by Flowwow.
