*Shangri-la Hotel Gourmet

One thing makes Shangri-la Hotel Gourmet stand out from its peers is that after 6 pm, all take-away snacks are 50 percent off. Chocolates here are all made of top quality cacao along with other top ingredients. The chocolates here aren’t just delicious to eat, but mesmerizing to the eye as well.

Desserts here are in large portions. French croissants are big and fluffy, covered in thin almond slices. Muffins are also much larger than other gourmets, some with a whiff of coffee flavor. Walnut coarse flour bread is a dense one, due to the addition of raisins.
