6 of the Best is a regular series in which we examine six elite food and/or drink items available in Guangzhou.
Pain au Chocolat (pictured above)
The French pastry chef at Louboutin is serious about his sweets. All frostings, jams and creams are homemade and imported Valrhona chocolate is the secret ingredient behind the exceptional pain au chocolat – our go-to breakfast treat. RMB16.
See listing for Louboutin Restaurant.
Apple Tart
Still the leading bakery in Guangzhou, Perma’s wooden interior and rows of just-baked sweets invoke the cozy temperament of Parisian cafes. Try the apple tart – a crisp, buttery pastry topped with thinly sliced, juicy apples and a hint of cinnamon. RMB20.
Almond Cinnamon Crisp
Though a chain, Kafelaku shines in the realm of baked goods. The almond cinnamon crisp, our personal favorite, is a doughy, handmade bun coated with fine almonds, cinnamon sugar and cocoa powder. RMB12.
Apple Turnover
New all-day breakfast locale Over Easy is all about ostentation. The apple turnover, a delicate, braided puff pastry, is filled with fresh apple puree and baked to tantalizing perfection. RMB15.
Cherry Danish
New Executive Pastry Chef Oliver Paris has added a tasteful touch to the Mandarin Cake Shop with his fusion treats (read: chrysanthemum honey donut). Try the deliciously rich Danish pastry topped with bold cherries and homemade jam. RMB22.
See listing for The Mandarin Cake Shop.
Chocolate Croissant
What’s better than a morning croissant? A croissant dipped in dark chocolate, obviously. Simply Life has been known to entice even the most loyal of dieters with its gorgeous, mouth-watering pies and striking desserts. RMB10.
