For those who’ve been to Japan have definitely heard of the delicious pastries, desserts, signature beverages and premium coffee from St.Marc Cafe. Well, now you can get it in Malaysia as St.Marc Cafe has just opened their first Malaysian outlet at Sunway Pyramid Mall. Founded by Naoyuki Katayama and Ritsuko Fuji back in 1987 in Ginza, Tokyo, St. Marc Cafe is renowned throughout Japan for its signature creation, the Chococro.
What makes this croissant unique is the texture of the pastry itself. Founder Naoyuki Katayama discovered it by accident one day after skipping the fermentation process when making the croissant dough, resulting in a pastry that is denser and richer, and creating one of St. Marc Café’s bestsellers to date. In addition to the famous original chocolate version, there are currently over 100 varieties of Chococro, which are sold seasonally depending on the time of the year.
Honestly, the chococro is extremely scrumptious with its fluffy buttered dough filled with oozing cream.
Apart from the crowd favourite Chococro, St.Marc Cafe is also well known for its soft-serve ice cream desserts, which are infused with traditional Japanese flavours and ingredients. There’s also a wide range of parfait desserts for one to try. The cafe has an open-kitchen concept and I get to see first hand how the pastries are are created and baked in-house to ensure their freshness and quality.
St. Marc Café has over 410 outlets in Japan alone, and can also be found in the USA, the Philippines, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and now, Malaysia. Swing by to have a taste of the famous Chococro as well as the soft-serve ice cream dessert, I guarantee you won’t be dissapointed.
