Since Capella settled on Jianguo West Road, all kinds of fresh and exquisite shops have sprung up, giving the ancient Shikumen a new look. Indeed, the foreign and vicissitudes of architecture, shady green trees, small bridges and flowing water, such a unique literary temperament of the place and the pursuit of style of creative cake shops are a match made in heaven.
BoboLee's physical store in Shanghai was founded in 17 years, and it was immediately promoted by the public accounts of major local food in Shanghai, and the response was violent. Titles such as "Beckham's Dinner Pastry Chef" and "Takeshi Kaneshiro's Cake from the Movie "Like You" are endless, and the chef's process of learning how to make cakes is widely disseminated. In fact, when talking about a cake shop, instead of exalting feelings, it is better to implement and carefully taste its products, but it is worthy of the creator's "original intention".
The BoboLee cakes that take the high-end route are not very large, and the average price of 90 yuan each is considered to be in the upper middle level in Shanghai, so it is recommended to taste them in the order of light first and then strong to get the best experience. The freshest flavor is red apple cumin. With a round and compact shape and a shiny gilt surface made of syrup, this apple-shaped cake is highly realistic; When you are amazed and think that you have guessed that the apple shell is made of fondant, you will know that it is chocolate with a mirror treatment; Then mixed with apple jam slowly flowed out, with a mousse mixed with cumin in the middle, the taste is fresh and natural, sweet and sour, and the creativity contained in it won the applause of diners.
The Earl Grey Lemon Mousse is a slightly heavier flavour, with a white chocolate mousse lying on top of chocolate crispy rice and a filling consisting of three parts: Earl Grey mousse, candied lemon peel jam and a sponge cake with Earl Grey leaf crumbs. The overall texture is smooth, and the combination of Earl Grey tea and lemon has a brightening effect on the taste; The crispy rice at the bottom compacts the cake again, and it does not feel light and thin. The finale, of course, is the store's signature milk chocolate rum cake. Dark chocolate and rum are a classic pairing in pastries, both have a mellow taste and aroma, and this cake is enhanced by hazelnut jam; There are also meringues, cakes and French crisps underneath to enhance the sense of hierarchy and complexity; Finally, a mirror effect is made on the surface, and silver powder and sugar flower decorations are added to take into account the taste and appearance. The larger version of this cake will be more visually appealing and suitable for larger parties.
The shadow of the trees in the courtyard of the store is swaying, but it has not been repaired for a long time, and the feeling of dilapidation is very obvious; And because of the shared yard with several restaurants, the privacy is discounted, and friends who come to see the promotional image may be disappointed. As for the service, it is not as cold as the rumors, the customer stands in front of the freezer and immediately has the staff take the initiative to make suggestions; However, for such a store with a large foot traffic and relatively insufficient waiter training, the decline in service quality during peak hours seems to be expected. What's more, in the face of such high pricing, almost all customers will raise their psychological expectations, and it is not surprising to find that there are flaws in service and production.
