More oddly, it is situated in an unused stair space at the bottom of Foo Lam dim sum restaurant, alongside some pubs and restaurant.
It seems out of place, but oddly enough when you just focus on the glass cabinets you think you are in a real patisserie.
After checking openrice, there doesn’t seem be any other branches.
Basically there are two cabinets, one for the sweet desserts and the other cabinets is just pies and pastries.
Initially I thought it was a western patisserie, by its name and cakes presentation, then when they told me the tuna puff was labelled wrongly as sausage roll, it had to be Chinese.
However the savoury pastries are the typical Chinese ones, curry chicken, tuna and chicken pie, the desserts are trying to be japanese with hokkaido milk puddings and other cute cakes.
Overall the western selection reminded me of “stick sticks” those mini long thin slices of cakes, even Arome does them now too.
As a sampler I got: chicken and ham curry puff, tuna puff, chocolate swiss roll, hokkaido milk pudding and caramel pudding.
Ham and chicken curry puff:
This was slices of ham, chicken in mild curry sauce, the pastry was slightly hard but not overdone.
Tuna puff:
The typical chinese puff, sweet tuna filling inside with the chinese salad cream/mayonnaise.
Swiss roll:
Compared to other rolls the roll sheet is thinner, hence there are more layers and more chocolate cream.
However it was not sweet enough and chocolate enough.
Hokkaido milk:
Too creamy
Caramel pudding:
I couldn’t taste the caramel, but I could see vanilla seeds at the bottom.
Overall the price is relatively cheap and the locals will like it.
