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
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.

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.
