B in B Patisserie stands for chef Belinda's name. Chef Belinda Leong has already been known for her macarons so it is not a surprise that the opening B Patisserie, situated on a block filled with unassuming houses, was met with much funfare. 

Unfortunately, the hype didn't live up to high expectations. Even with its short lifespan, the patisserie has now been known to "sell out" even during the middle of the day. What's a store for if there's nothing customers can buy from? By the time I got there during mid-afternoon, I was able to count the number of plated desserts they had on display- four to be exact. A piece of quiche, vanilla cake, chocolate choux and a tart. 

We got the choux and vanilla cake, which both tasted delicious. The chocolate rice pearls on the choux added a surprising twist to a superfied version of an eclair, while hard labor was obviously carried out to create the multiple layers on the vanilla cake.

Will I come here again? Maybe not, especially if I'm not guaranteed a wide array of pastry selections during any decent time of the day.
