La Petite France

My "La Petite France" is different from Nico's "La Petite France"; mine is really small, a small cafe hidden in the corner of this fusion city, covered by big shiny glass windows instead of bushy greens.


Finding this dessert shop is a truly sweet by-product of my job hunting for my too-much-spare time of last semester of university life, as if I am not busy enough with my thesis writing. They were hiring for counter helper, and attached their website. The pictures of little cakes caught my eyes, and also triggered my "sweet-tooth". I never miss a chance to pay a little visit to every dessert shop I can find. So there I was with my friend Kathy, in a gloomy Friday afternoon hoping the desserts would make my day worthy of all. And, again, beautifully decorated mini cakes never fail me. It always leave me happy with a big smile.

which is a perfect complement of the flavorful cake

Of course the glasses and the scarf add to the overall French image :)

Do they have tables outside too?

That's so funny that we both ended up going to places called "La Petite France"!
