"Drawing on his pastry experience working under Alain Ducasse at Essex House where the take-home gift was a petit panettone, Jansen Chan of Kitsby brings an Asian perspective to the Italian sweet bread. Having debuted panettone in a sold-out ube-flavored collaboration with Umimart, Chan and owner Amy Hsiao have expanded their line to a limited series of unique flavors, including black sesame chocolate and coconut mango flavors. Of the two, the coconut mango is subtle and more traditional, while the black sesame is suited to the panettone-adventurous." - John Tsung
