I was originally looking for a place to have dinner on an app, but accidentally attracted by this beautiful patisserie.
Travel Date: 2016. 12
The shop located in the southeast area of Chengdu, very easy to find, especially when its French design jumped out from other buildings.
Beautiful is not enough to describe. Its whole design based on white, from the ceiling, walls, stairs to the counter are all pure white, creating romantic, French, gorgeous vibes.
There was one girl each behind the counter and in the kitchen. The girl at the counter was polite and a bit nervous. There was a small round table for two people on the 1st floor, and sofas for four people on the 2nd floor.
Although it’s eight o’clock in the evening, there are plenty of cake options left in the freezer. Their cakes are beautiful.
Love Of Green (RMB$ 58)
I was attracted to this cake. The outer layer was made of matcha and filled with Earl Grey inside. The texture was very smooth and delicate, also, the portion of whipped cream will not be too much.
Starry Sky (RMB$ 58)
I ordered this because it was too beautiful, just like a starry night. Inside were mousse made of chocolate and passion fruit, a perfect match. Chocolate is very rich, but the passionfruit was a bit too sweet.
What the two cakes above have in common is that they were both too sweet. Although the texture was very good, there was nothing else to expect, no layers.
Yogurt Cheesecake (RMB$ 38)
I really like cheesecake, so I can’t help but order it. Although it looks more simple than the previous ones, I think it was the tastiest. Probably because the previous one were too sweet. And the yogurt inside this one made it more refreshing.
Galaxy
When I was eating halfway through, a gorgeous woman came in. She smiled at me and walked straight into the counter so did I know she’s the owner! However, she left in a hurry. But before she left, she came to me with a small plate and an attractive smile. She said to me, “Try this.” And, suddenly, I felt like I was in love LOL.
This chocolate is like a mini-version of the starry sky, either it’s appearance or taste. But maybe because it’s much smaller, it didn’t taste that sweet as starry sky.
Later, they treated me again with a cup of tea.
Before leaving, I told the girl that their cheesecake was delicious. She was very happy to hear that. She asked me to come another time as they will launch new products from time to time. I told her I just came for short traveling and would leave the next day. She felt sorry for that and gave me a smile, “Thank you for coming.”
Although FR’s dessert may not be better than those in Taipei, I was impressed by the warm and delicate service offered.
