Our next dessert hunt was Pâtisserie Glacé, which was known for their authentic Japanese pastries. This recommendation was screaming in our cbox from the courtesy of HuiYuan and was only opened in November 2008, I was indeed surprised by the nice praises posted on HGW and thus was determined to drop by the shop as soon as possible.
Unlike Sun Moulin and Tampopo Deli being located in buzzling shopping malls, Pâtisserie Glacé was well-hidden in a quiet corner of Chinatown.
Our visit will be split into 4 entries (as usual) so that it will be easier to be searched by category and first and foremost, we will kick start the series of entries with Pâtisserie Glacé's bestseller, Mont Blanc.
After being featured in the Sunday times (January 4, 2009), Mont Blanc has gained its popularity even more than before. As described, this light-as-air cake topped with chestnut puree is Pâtisserie Glacé's best item and the surprise that awaits anyone is its whole chestnut in the centre.
A Japanese perennial favourite.
Pâtisserie Glacé import the best chestnut from Japan paired with the most delicious chestnut paste from France makes this Mont-Blanc hard to beat.
This could be the best Mont-Blanc this side of paradise!
Of course, we don't just stop at one cake... here are the remaining entries...
1. Choco Renga
2. A paradise of strawberries
3. Rin Rin Cheese Tart

This is my first encounter with Mont Blanc and I have to admit I love its light sponge and the chestnut mousse. However, for chestnut lovers, the chestnut flavour isn't strong and thus I would prefer their other creations more than this.

Without reading the descriptions, I really could not tell what I was eating. To me it was simply fresh cream with sponge cake. Little did I realise there was chestnut. I guess its generally not bad for a sponge cake but it does little to curb my dessert craving.

wow, the 2 of you ate so much cakes? haha. i've never heard of chinatown plaza, only chinatown point. gosh, suaku me! and i noticed there are many variations when it comes to mont blanc. some hv got tart base, some sponge base, wonder which one's nicer? i definitely want my chestnut 2b strong in taste!
Hehe, it is possible as the cakes are light and delicious... I only know of Chinatown Plaza just last Saturday...
I am never a fan of chestnut but Patisserie Glace adopts a more refreshing than chestnutty taste. Will let u know what is my preference on Sat since we ordered a Mont Blanc from Centre Ps... can compare...
omg! you post so many posts at one shot. lol! i know of patisserie glace too, but didn't try yet since its rather out of the place. what i'm most curious about, do they have a dine-in area? how big is it?
You gals are really avid dessert lovers, and you take such beautiful shots of the food. Love your yummylicious sweet blog, glad to find it ;p
LIC: If you look closely at the 2nd picture, you will see a table at the extreme right... They have about 3 of those tables for dining-in...
Noobcook: Thank you for dropping by and your nice compliments... I love your pictures too but I dunno why I can't publish my comments on your blog... I dropped 2 this afternoon but both jus went missing...
