Swissbeck (Hong Kong, CHINA) ★★★☆☆

Following our delightful lunch at 238 Restaurant in Sheung Wan, we took a slow walk back to Soho and there we realized that we had unfinished business to take care of - to continue our quest for the perfect cronut in Hong Kong.



Swissbeck is one of the few local bakeries who is supplying cronuts to the market at the moment. Theirs, for copyright purposes, are named "rohnut".

For a relatively small bakery store, Swissbeck sure carries quite a wide variety of "rohnuts". Apart from the usual flavors such as original, strawberry and chocolate, they also have white chocolate, double chocolate, lemon, fresh fruit etc.



We ended up taking the "valentine's day special" which was a heart-shaped cronut with peach and custard in the middle. 

But that was quite disappointing considering that it tasted more like a doughnut injected with cream and fresh fruit. The crisp and buttery layers that we were all accustomed to seeing from a croissant were totally missing.
