Lady M: the New York bakery taking Asia by storm

[@TeumeL-ci1rh]

Had lady M when I was in Singapore and it was on of the best cakes I've tasted so far! Not too sweet and not too bland that you would miss out the flavor of the cake.

[@RVboyjunior]

The 'storm' had not reached all of Asia yet.

[@sorryimshy5412]

I went to Lady M with my Chinese friend in NYC last year and the cake was very delicious. But to be honest it’s nothing too special either. I’ve lived in Japan and have had many layered cakes exactly like this and I’ve also found many notable others here in the states. In the end I think it’s just like everything else when it comes to branding and hype culture where people willingly line up for an expensive food item mostly because of the brand. I’m not saying I won’t take other friends there either to try for themselves this winter break. Support all businesses who deliver what they promise.

[@Enviotonin85]

a slice of cake that can cost you nearly $9 and cost as much at $20 for a slice of cake and a coffee. I dont see how the owner is not happy. The Singapore outlet is pretty much cooled down from the hype, guess too costly for people to enjoy.

[@SuccessforLifester]

And I have never heard of it before. I am more familiar with Bengawan solo, prima deli and Angie the choice, if it is still around

[@jadonhung]

I only waited 0 minutes because there was no line, and I live in America! 😂

[@junetta_aep_breaccglas]

@Arachnicution does being a bubble tea enthusiast counts?

[@evansw.9807]

In south east asia, it was popular once upon a time. Now nobody eats it. And that was like 6-8years ago. From the title, exactly which part of asia by storm? As far as I know, even taiwan korea or japan this crepe cake isn't selling well anymore. Might obviously be a paid publicity to scmp

[@snackgila]

Similar to kue lapis indonesia, a layer cake that very expensive . The layer has a meaning on it. Meaning every layer is representing every years success in life. It started to served and populars amongs chinese indonesia community at the beggining. The cake that influences by european dutch cake. Mostly served in chinese indonesia new year or eid mubarak idul fitry amd christmas time.

[@noorclean2915]

But it taste different, it does not taste like cake at all, more like crepes with cream

[@kyungsoo979]

Had my first lady m crepe in sg last week, was surprisingly average. Like the cheap crepe cake I can get from my local cake store..

[@SuccessforLifester]

Never heard of it. Maybe targeted at the rich folks

[@Jason-wp2nq]

Sean The hype is mainly young adults (uni and professionals) from middle-class families. -> regarding China. Not rich but definitely not poor.

[@SuccessforLifester]

@@Jason-wp2nq I mean in Singapore. I totally not familiar with the brand. So probably it was targeted at the rich. It was indeed quite expensive per whole cake, above 100 SGD

[@Jason-wp2nq]

@@SuccessforLifester 68-75 yuan per slice in China. So not cheap at all. To put in perspective, minimum wage in Beijing is 24 yuan per hour, Shanghai 22 yuan. Second tier cities approx 18 yuan per hour, slowly down the hierarchy we'll find county level cities with 10 yuan per hour. It is only consumed by middle class in richer cities in China. (not everywhere).

[@SuccessforLifester]

@@Jason-wp2nq Thanks for sharing Jason. I think the price in Sg is also above 10 Sgd a slice.

[@rosiedosie]

There are a few beautiful outlets in singapore with beautiful cakes. These crepe cakes were really cloud like!! You should tryyy. Im still thinking about it after my first slice 😂

[@Liuhuayue]

Asians really like this sort of thing because it comes off as very light.

[@nixnimma9222]

Actually, there are many Cake shops in Shenzhen now. And weight exploded compared to 2013 when I first was here

Always wanted to try a crepe cake. I had a raindrop cake recently that was really cool (when I say recently I mean like 6 months ago XD) anyways looks nice.

[@cSedx00022]

You totally should make it! I’ve made it 2 times so far, and they turned out delicious.

[@lucheng1945]

They're mostly whipped cream, which is tasty of course, but not as special as they make it sound.

“ one thousand layer cake “ China : write that down !

[@zennoix9984]

Ah China, always the unique one when it comes to innovation. See when other Asians aside of Chinese created something that is slightly similar to other people's creations, they will say the others inspired them to create that thing, and it is accepted by everyone in the end. China Chinese on the other hand.....

Another boba tea craze? As with any first kiss, it will fade away.

[@MoonlightWalnut]

Vikingdom I don’t know where you live but boba tea love is mad in north west London. In china there’s an entire new market for bubble tea now -one of the most popular is 喜茶， it has somehow surpassed even costa and starbucks in popularity. It takes like half an hour to get a drink but everyone lines up for one lol. Suppppper expensive too. But, people think it’s worth it for the teas. I’m just concerned at how think the plastic lining is for the cups they use, there’s no need to have it that thick I mean do they expect ppl to be thrashing them around the pavements or something. Most people don’t care though when I mentioned it 😞 ah well. These things take time.
