Colourful pastries hidden in Wan Chai

Strudel ($42), one of the signatures at pantry is freshly made to order. Two layers of caramelised green apple cubes and custard were stacked in between the flaky pie crust. Subtly sweet and light in texture for me.



Sadly the display cake was locked inside a not-so-seductive plastic box; certainly differed from my visual expectations. If the lady behind the counter hadn't given me such recommendations, I would have never tried it.



The colourful lego block simply stood out among all other cake beauties at the display window. Green lego block- Lime bavaroise blends in so well with the citrus jelly and jam in between, making it a refreshing oasis among all other pastry we have tried at Pantry Bread & Pstries.



While the blue one is blueberry cheese cake, with a sickly purplish blue filling in an overly soft texture which didn’t impress both of our taste buds and eyeballs. At a price of $54/piece, the lady at the counter did recommend the remaining lego blocks, yet I shouldn’t give them another chance.



To fill the stomach with sophisticated floral dessert, you'd better decide on the rose raspberry champaign pastry ($44). Blended so well into the floral autumn mood board, the rose moose, pink jelly and the velvety red sponge cake all had creamy and smooth texture, with a little touch of raspberry jam in the middle, adding an exciting complexity to the pastry.

TURN OFF Cake base is a tad floury and wet, unlike the usual fluffy sponge cake. ( possible culprit might be the moist of the mousse.
