There are desserts that look good, and then there are desserts that look good and taste even better. Lucky for us, Sweet Fashion House, one of the year’s new pastry launches, is among the latter.
Opened this September, the luxury dessert boutique creates chocolates, macarons, and cakes akin to sculptural art pieces in full, unabashed colour. Domes of neon pink and green, bright orange cylinders and even snow white globes characterise some of their signature pieces, with flavour profiles underscored by unique ingredients such as pu-erh tea, milk tea, and osmanthus, as well as classical picks such as yuzu, pistachio and vanilla.

Here, though, chef Majchrzak is taking a break from all the sweets to show us around his Gold Coast neighbourhood for more savoury picks. Read on, and find Sweet Fashion House at Lee Garden Three, New Town Plaza, The Ritz and K11.
I love spending sunny weekends here! The sunsets are spectacular- if you find a good spot, you can also watch planes taking off into the sunset!

My top favourite place in Gold Coast Piazza is the Japanese restaurant KAZUHIRO. It has a nice outdoor seating area with a stunning view of the Gold Coast hotel on the ocean, a teppenyaki and bar area, and is a perfect place to unwind after a long day of work. Plus, the food is delicious too.
