Today I went to two places, as some suggested, Mimosa and Tereasa Fest. Both are v. good bakeries, and I don't intend to compare them. They both have their favorate items, Strawberry Napoleon and Marble Cheese Cake respectively.

The Strawberry Napoleon is not like the Napoleon I tasted, I like the Mimosa version better, less dry, more juicy and fruity, and equally crispy!!!

I tried some other kinds of pastry in Mimosa, and yes, relatively I like the Strawberry Napo. the best, so wait until I try all of the pastries here, I can make the conclusion by then.

God job, Mimosa!
