Dessert & Fruits at Central World Mall

We deserved good dessert after our disappointing lunch at Phan-Khom Contemporary Thai Cuisine.

We walked to the other side of the mall and saw several restaurants we could have eaten at instead. There were even several eat-all-you-can restaurants that offered international food or steaks or Japanese food. All were priced quite reasonably too.

There were so many Japanese brand food and dessert stalls which I’ve never seen in Hong Kong or Singapore. Bangkok has much more imported retail and food outlets than Manila.

Crepes & Co.

I really, really, really wanted to eat those chocolate and orange crepes but I decided to look at all my options first. Chocolate and orange happens to be my favorite flavor!

After deep discussion we all agreed to try Bake A Wish’s cream puffs.

So many desserts to choose from!

I’m not really a cream puff fan but the green tea cream puff looked really tempting.

I eagerly took a big bite and it was more puff than substance. The pastry was light and crisp the way a good cream puff should be. The green tea custard was the right color and consistency but it was short on flavor. It needed more matcha powder. Too bad I really wanted to like it.

The chocolate cream puff was marginally better. I wanted to choose the chocolate filling but my friends overruled me and chose the vanilla custard.

They later agreed I was right. We should have gone chocolate all the way.

Since I didn’t have my chocolate and orange crepe, which to this day I regret, and I was disappointed with the green tea cream puff I decided I needed another treat.

Ho-Mu ice cream

I got a soft serve ice cream in orange and green tea. The flavors were prominent, the ice cream was creamy and not too sweet. It was a good deal for 49 baht. Yummy!!!

We walked around the supermarket on the same level and I took pictures of the tropical fruits on sale. The Philippines has almost all of these fruits but Bangkok has more varieties of the same fruit. I never knew there was so many kinds of guava or pomelo.
