Provence Cafe & Bakery (ION Orchard)

Chocolate wassant $6

K: Chocolate wassant from Provence bakery thanks to my dear friend. What I like about this is that its fragrant (yum chocolaty smell) without being overwhelming sweet. The wassant will remain soft even days later. However its best eaten straight out of the oven! Warm, soft and fluffy with the subtle taste of chocolate. Simply divine.

Having ate this a dozen times, I must say that I'm slighty disappointed with this batch. It lacked the chocolate flavour and was drier than usual. The Ion branch seems to be very popular and I think this might have affected the usually consistent quality. 

I might return and grab another pack of these wonderful babies if I'm in the vicinity but I think I would prefer the wassant from Holland Village branch anytime. 

K's Verdict: 3.5/5


R: The chocolate wassant is definitely one of the biggest highlight of the Japanese bakery. I agree with K on the softness and tenderness even after putting aside for days. However, I thought it was a little on the expensive side.

R's Verdict: 3.5/5
