We were so excited to visit the Aristocrat Bakeshop on Roxas Boulevard after so many years that I bought two boxes of pastries. When we got home, first on the agenda was making coffee to go with the classic eclair. Imagine my disappointment after taking my first bite.

So ironic – you have a beautiful picture of a sad truth.
And we were so excited to be there after, what, 5 years? Such a disappointment. And the ham and cheese croissant? Sus, they now use CHEAP ham and cheese.
