If you think Dempsey Hill is too far-out (read: unreachable without a cab) to warrant multiple trips to famous Japanese patisserie Henri Charpentier, your sugar-lovin’ palate will be glad to know the brand has opened up shop on Orchard Road.
A small counter at the ground level of Orchard Central is where you’ll find Henri Charpentier’s second outlet. More suitable for patrons who prefer takeaway options, the tiny space also offers a couple tables for those who want to dine in. Menu signatures include financiers ($2.90/one), madeleines ($2.90/one) and all-time favourite strawberry short cake ($10.20).
Also look out for items exclusive to this branch, like the Hanjuku fromage. It's a fluffy, soufflé-like cheesecake that comes in original ($2.50) and matcha ($3) flavours.
