Was informed by a fellow Foodie Friend here who recommends the Swiss roll of Ceres Boulangerie et Patisserie, which I have not previously had the opportunity to try from my last time buying things from here : 蛋卷 -Its the typical Roulade cake fare - eggy sponge cake square, layered then rolled around some smoothish cream. When it comes to roll cake, one surely wonders - is it a case of the simpler always the better? I think that is subject to debate and everyone's personal interpretation...

For what it is worth, in its slightly simplest presentation, I thought the quality was good in a sense rather than outstanding. The sponge for sure seemed moist, the cream ok tasty and seemingly freshly whipped. It did not carry a baked surface-coating nor brown tiger stripes as is seen in some Swiss Roll versions, no, but perhaps that's its strong point as one thereby concentrates on the middle sponge quality - which is quite ok. Its akin to many Hong Kong customers ordering white bread, then asking the crust exterior to be levered of, alas 飞边, (I like bread crust myself, provided you bite and attack it from vertically rather than horizontally like in horizontally sliced loaf bread, when it could hurt the teeth!)
*************
FOR $15 A PIECE, AND I'D JUST NOTICED THE PREVIOUS REVIEWS SAYING THAT IT HAS NOW CREPT UP TO $16 SINCE MY LAST TIME VISITING HERE, I THINK THIS WAS ENJOYABLE IF YOU FEEL LIKE ENJOYING A PRIMITIVE VERSION OF A SWISS EGG ROLL. IN THIS SENSE, IT WAS QUITE SATISFACTORY, ALBEIT SLIGHTLY OVERLY EXPENSIVE...
I STILL THINK THE PRICING IS A BIT STEEP FOR WHAT IT IS THOUGH. THE VERSION I HAD AT YAMAKAWA WAS THICKER, AND IT HAD SLIGHTLY MORE SOPHISTICATION TO IT SOMEWHAT, AND I SUSPECT HARDER TO MAKE. THE VERSION HERE COULD DO WITH A BIT MORE EGGINESS FACTOR TOO!
