Pacific Marketplace, Pan Pacific, Singapore
The Pacific Marketplace is an eatery on the ground floor of the Pan Pacific Hotel, Marina Bay. Hotels are notoriously expensive for dining, but the Pacific Marketplace is a way to dine at a more reasonable price without breaking the bank.
Offering a variety of local and international dishes, the cafe also serves high tea and has a wonderful patisserie. During our stay we tried the patisserie on a few occasions and were very happy with the standard and presentation of cakes.
Chocolate fudge cake, carrot cake, banana cheesecake, black forest gateau, key lime tart:
Salted caramel eclair, manjari cafe(coffee) gateau, matcha lychee gateau, gula melaka:
Fruit danish:
Pralines:
Strawberry cake and blueberry cheesecake:
Ivory raspberry:
These are the cakes that we tried:
Salted caramel eclair – wonderfully smooth caramel filling where the salt flavour came through, beautifully tempered chocolate and dreamy ganache. Very very nice.
Chocolate fudge cake. A really lovely chocolate hit without being too sickly sweet.
Key lime tart. Beautifully presented and delicate. It could have taken a bit more lime flavour, but was still very good.
Carrot cake. Pleasant and good carrot flavour, but could have had a better cake to carrot ratio in the mix.
All in all, this is a beautiful top end patisserie, and I recommend Pacific marketplace for a stunning afternoon tea.
