Thomas Trillion cakes at a surprising place
2014-12-08 1921 views
Thomas Liu is an artist. An artist with a chef's palate knife. The pastry chef creates some of the most beautiful cakes imaginable and his cakes can be found at a small shop in Tin Hau called Thomas Trillion. Not only are they beautiful to look at, they taste wonderful, too. The Tin Hau shop is only for take away and I had wished they had a place to sit and eat the scrumptious cakes as a sweets break when I go walking around. So, boyfriend brought some cakes to my home when I made dinner for us

Thomas Liu is an artist. An artist with a chef's palate knife. The pastry chef creates some of the most beautiful cakes imaginable and his cakes can be found at a small shop in Tin Hau called Thomas Trillion. Not only are they beautiful to look at, they taste wonderful, too. The Tin Hau shop is only for take away and I had wished they had a place to sit and eat the scrumptious cakes as a sweets break when I go walking around. So, boyfriend brought some cakes to my home when I made dinner for us as an after dinner dessert, much to my delight!

Well, there is such a place for me to have a Thomas Trillion cake and sit down, too, without the need to take it home only! And it's at the most surprising of places. A small hotel called Charterhouse located in Wanchai. I've actually never been inside this hotel and I discovered it by chance as I was walking down that street to check out a shop  that sells baking ware.

The cafe is located in the lobby. It's not hard to miss as the lobby is EXTREMELY small and cramped. The cafe itself is literally a counter with a few chairs and tables near the elevator. Tip is to try and choose a table away from the elevators (like in the corner) to avoid being bumped by hotel guests and their suitcases. The cafe has two sets. A breakfast set and a cake set. Since I was there for cake, I chose the cake set which came with a regular size coffee of any kind. Price is $80 and there is no service charge. This is actually a pretty good deal as the cakes are $60 each and the coffee is around $40. The staff was extremely friendly and even told me to have a seat while they brought me my cake and coffee. Even returning with sugar and a stick after asking me if I wanted it. I even dropped my stir stick and the staff quickly returned with another one.

 As the cakes were all so beautiful, I ended up with A for Apple. The cake was brought to me in a small cardboard take away box.

 The cake interior was an refreshing apple pie filling wrapped in a moisty sponge cake and a crumbly shortbread crust bottom. The green ribbon is actually chocolate. The cake was not too sweet but had a subtle apple flavor.

 I chose a cafe latte. It was a pretty big size cup of coffee. But it was a bit too milky and lacked coffee flavor.

 The staff informed me that they plan to have Christmas cakes during the week of Christmas so I'll be back to check it out! I now have another place near where I live to have a cake and coffee break.
