Lady M
Crêpe expectations are high at Lady M, the undisputed queen of mille crêpes in Hong Kong. Each slice of their hallmark confection stacks at least twenty paper-thin crêpes with lusciously light pastry cream, with flavours ranging from the classic original to green tea. But while Lady M’s mille crêpes are undoubtedly the showstopper, don’t sleep on the Gâteau Nuage (one of the fluffiest cheesecakes in town) or the strawberry mille feuille, which gives you a thousand layers and zero regrets. If you’re feeling indecisive, order one of their popular tasting cakes and let every forkful be a plot twist.
