Indeed this is a petit cafe (petit means small in French).
The sofa by the wall is merely a ledge for you to lean on.
Anyway, stopped by on Christmas eve because it was empty and had the apple tea and purple sweet potato macaron.
The tea was quite good because the apple was not too artificial or too sweet.
The macaron was crisp with a nice filling in the middle.

Got this box of chocolates as a Christmas gift.
There is a cocoa dusted gnome and two pieces of chocolate on a tray which is also edible.
The chocolate tray was rich and bitter and the other two pieces of chocolate were silky and smooth.

Wanchai has everything except a proper dessert place.
Now people can go to Cong Sao Star Dessert which has branched out from Tseung Kwan O.
The English name is rather strange because the Chinese is pronounced "Chung So" so it is funny how it ended up as Cong Sao.
Anyway, perhaps it is another Chinese dialect that I am not familiar with.
Had the Happy paradise which had a bit of everything, the mango was a bit slushy this time but I liked the almond and tea jelly cubes.

I have always wanted to try this Uji matcha and black sugar charcoal cake which meant I had to get the whole cake.
Now they sell them in slices.
I liked the colourful layers of soft cake with a bitter matcha aftertaste that was not too sweet.
There were opaque Kanten jelly cubes in it.


[Review 4917] Second surprise at Oscar Bakery @ Oscar Bakery

After trying the croissant I decided to go back for the quiches because it could possibly taste nice according to the standard of the croissant I had last time.
Strangely, I have this weird gift of drawing people where I go because this shop was EMPTY when I got there and I find this gift extremely annoying when I go to quiet restaurants to get peace and quiet obviously.
Anyway, there were three quiches spinach, bacon and mushroom so I got the spinach and mushroom.
They also had the latest craze which are the molten cheese tarts in lots of flavours as well as plain cheese.
There was green tea and red bean as well as Durian.
I have tried them before and dont' like them because they are sickly with a weird Chinese style cheese taste.
Decided to get the green tea one anyway.

The quiches were impressive but spinach tasted better because there were not many slices of mushroom in the mushroom quiche.
It was the quiche pastry that impressed me because it was only 7mm thick with a firm but crumbly texture without that weird local Chinese butter taste or smell.
As for the filling, it was so good and tasted like a real quiche with full cheesy and savory flavours and none of that weird Chinese sweetness in it!
To be honest, they don't look appealing at all but they are delicious!
I didn’t expect to like the molten cheese tart but the tart pastry won me again because it was thin and crumbly and the green tea and red bean filling wasn’t overly sickly.

Went here because I was still a bit hungry.
Got the basil and potato bread and the apple and sweet potato tart.
Quite nice but the potato was too hard.
Nice pairing of apple and sweet potato but it was too sweet.

As well as musubis, they also have curry at the Shun Tak branch.
It was really nice and fruity but I wish the apple was not so sweet.
The curry was delicious with rice and you can choose chicken or beef.
