Overall score: 8/10
Thankfully the pastry was fresh, crisp and golden brown in colour, though not quite as caramelised as other patisseries I’ve visited. I read that the bakery use an authentic French flour and a day old pastry fermenting process. The custard was lighter than normal, like a creme diplomat often found in traditional French patisseries. It had some evident vanilla bean speckles, but I wouldn’t have minded some more and more custard overall. I feel that overall the ingredients and tastes of this slice were excellent, but the price was let down by the technique in presentation. When you compare this to my last French Mille-feuille a few posts back, the attention to detail is lacking here; no piping, no icing, no intricacies. No wow factor.
