the.fat.guideFeb 19, 2020

Plumcot

is a patisserie fronted by two pastry chefs who used to work under Michelin-starred chefs and establishments in France.

It is located in the quaint neighbourhood of Tai Hang, specialising in artisanal ice-cream, French pastries and cakes. The store occupies a ground floor shop unit with a petite-sized front for takeaways. Majority of its space is used as their kitchen.

Their croissants are very popular and usually sells out by lunch time. During weekends, baguettes, bagels and other pastries are available.

Butter Croissant

One word. Awesome! This maybe a plain croissant but it is probably the best I have ever eaten. The crust is, crispy and flakey. The insides, soft and fluffily. Even when you leave the croissant out for most of the day, it is still does not lose its crispiness and fluffiness. It is a real pleasure!

Almond Croissant

It is just like their butter croissant with additional almond flakes and sugar coating added to its top. The sugar coating gives this croissant a sweet taste, and the almond flakes adds to its crunchiness.

Strawberry Croissant

This is not one of their regular items. It is available once in a while. If you see it available, try it. It comes with their self-made strawberry jam inside. Simply delicious!
