The Mandarin Cake Shop is not only famous in its cheesecakes, they also produce one of the best if not the best croissant in town. They have a small dining area with high chairs and tables that you can sit down to enjoy the cakes and drinks you order, probably the most economical way of eating in a 5-star hotel.

They have a few choices of croissants – cheese, almond, chocolate, etc. but a plain croissant is already perfect when it is fresh and made according to the original recipe. The croissant was quite large as compared to those from other bakery, very fluffy with clear layers of filo sheets. Don’t feel guilty about how much butter has been used as it’s an essential ingredient for the heavenly good stuff.

b) Sesame Roll ($30 for set with butter and jam) – 8.5/10

The butter and jam appeared by the croissant should go with this sesame roll. Under normal circumstances, strawberry jam would be served. Upon special request, you could try the special rose petal jam which only goes with the scones produced in the afternoon. Girls would like the jam which was not too sweet and with a fragrant smell and taste of rose.

c) Classic Hot Chocolate ($68) – 8.5/10

This classic hot chocolate was neither too sweet nor thick which was to my liking. The chocolate spoon made by 68% cocoa was more a gimmick but it’s still interesting to see it melts in the vortex. I ultimately asked for a real spoon to stir the melted chocolate at the base of the cup.

Q : When will I go again?
A : Whenever I’m craved for bakery.

Q: What will I next order?

A : The extra bitter dark chocolate drink is tempting. Moreover, you can also grab a baguette or quiche which looks attractive.
