    Paul

    Attracting a slew of Francophones and balmy with the aroma of baked bread, this petite corner of Paris in Xintiandi is a joy. Queue for an éclair café, macaron pistache, a plain croissant or baguette, or maintain your poise perched outside with a coffee.

    Tai Cheong Bakery

    Tai Cheong was famous for its lighter-than-air profiteroles ( sa yung; $5 each) until former governor Chris Patten was photographed wolfing down its egg-custard tarts ($5 each). Since then ‘Fat Patten’ egg tarts have hogged the limelight.

  13. Crown Bakery

    Fabulously located in an old cruciform church (built in 1907) with its original wood ceiling intact (and loads of portraits of Jesus), come here for ambience, take a seat in the apse to break bread and order egg tarts (Y1), tea (Y3.50) or loads of cakes.
