It seems like there are more and more Asian-French fusion bakeries popping up lately. This is definitely not a complaint—just an observation.
Since there’s not much to say about the bakery itself, other than that it’s clean and somewhat cute, let’s go straight to the pastries we bought, shall we?
Ham and cheese croissant:
Even though it was tasty, there was not enough filling. There was a sweet glaze on top of it that was a bit strange.
Pizza pastry:
Reminds us of a margherita pizza. It’s okay. It looks more substantial than it actually is.
French Egg Tart:
This one is quite interesting. It’s almost like there’s an eggy flan inside a pie crust. It’s good, but definitely not suited for people who do not like the taste of eggs.
Basque cheesecake:
Dense and delicious.
Nutella Canelé:
Delicious, with a soft, custard-like inside, filled with Nutella.
Croissant roll:
Pretty good, filled in the middle with a chocolate pastry cream.
Pistachio Cream Puff:
The cream puff is huge, the filling is light, and there is a very mild, delicate taste of pistachio (not saying this in a bad way). However, it is not a cream puff—it’s made of puff pastry, not choux.
Strawberry cube:
Delicious vol-au-vent type of pastry. It’s filled with some airy cream cheese filling and topped with strawberry syrup.
Custard Cream Donut:
Very well filled with a delicious pastry cream.
Nutella Croissant:
Not enough filling, and we highly suspect it was a (very faint) chocolate filling with hazelnuts instead of Nutella. They should not mess with Nutella fans—we take our spread seriously.
So, what we can say from an overall perspective is:
The savory pastries—at least those made with puff pastry—can be a bit of a letdown. The sweet pastries, on the other hand, are pretty good on average. Some of their pastries are heavy on eggs (again, not a complaint), so be mindful of that.
