different types of pretty delicacies 'seducing' me

my cup of latte

This is an unplanned trip to Duxton Hill today.  My sis, little nephew and I were wanting to go for some Korean BBQ for dinner along Tanjong Pagar Road, but find ourselves arriving too early, therefore, we intend to look for a place to relax and sit down for some drinks.

Flor Patisserie is a Japanese Patisserie serving Japanese inspired French pastries and cakes.  You can choose to have it take away or if you have some time like us to spare, there are little sitting corners for you to relax and enjoy the beautiful and delicious cake.  

I ordered a Mango Pie and Waguri Mille Feuille along with a cup of Latte.  The Mango Pie is a Baked creme d'amande tart filled with pastry cream, and topped with fresh ripe mango and blueberries.  The mango is sweet and juicy and the combination of the sweetness from the fruit and the pastry goes so well that you just can't get enough of it.  

Sis fell totally in love with their Waguri Mille Feuille which is a pastry with delicate strands of French chestnut cream carefully piped over a sandwich of crisp, flaky puff pastry and pastry cream, topped with sweetened Japanese chestnuts.  This pastry looks somehow similar like Mont Blanc, a friendly Japanese staff explained to us that the difference between WMF & Mont Blanc is that Mont Blanc is with the sponge cake whilst WMF is using the flaky puff pastry, though both were using chestnuts, the texture is totally different.  Sis love it so much and we decided that we will order this cake for our birthday in September.

Overall, I love the coziness of this patisserie and the warmth of the staffs serving in the little shop.  Though the sitting place is not a lot and the pastries might be a bit pricey, but it's still alright for a once  in a while indulgent.  I really love it and I recommend you all to try the pastries there, and who knows, you will be the next one falling in love with Flor...
