Plaisir

A 15-minute walk from Sangenjaya Station is a top-rated patisserie that is curiously only open on the weekends. But this doesn’t mean business is slow. Rather, the shop is packed on Saturday and Sunday from the minute it opens, with people queuing to take a selection of cakes to a friendly gathering. One item that people never fail to pick up is Plaisir’s lightly sweetened fresh chestnut Mont Blanc. While the shop only does takeout, the meringue base of its Mont Blanc maintains its crispness even after you’ve brought it home and refrigerated it for a few hours.
