Bread draws the crowds...
DONQ draws my attention too...
DONQ at Takashimaya
This bread draws my attention - it is called Macha Dainagon Roll! 抹茶大納言紅豆瑞士捲
Green Tea Bread With Red Bean and Sesame Seeds.
DONQ breads are pretty and elegant, but they are expensive. Each bread usually costs more than $2.
You can see the bakers at work. ^o^
Macha Dainagon Roll! 抹茶大納言紅豆瑞士捲 (Green Tea Bread With Red Bean and Sesame Seeds)
1 roll (5 pieces of bread) costs $5! That is expensive!
Tart Bresson Fruit - is a soft buns tart mixed with berries and custard toppings ($2.80)
I bought these despite the price.
It seemed that they have good business!
The receipt...
DONQ's plastic bag has a paris design on it. Paris Map!
DONQ seems to be half Japanese, half French...
A close-up look again
The berries look really big and fresh! This tart tastes like berries with egg custard. Quite nice, although I do not really like custard.
I love the red beans! I cannot taste the Matcha (Green tea) though.
BON APPETIT , make your way to DONQ at Takashimaya one day for a Japanese-French sensation!
