趁热集合HOTCRUSH(正大广场店)

The baking industry in Shanghai has become more and more popular in recent years, and there are many new stores opened this year. This store is near the company. It is said that the queue was very exaggerated when it first opened, but there are not so many people now. The first time I went there, I directly bought a set of black truffle foie gras steak Wellington and black truffle rice mochi milk tea. The Wellington was cut into two pieces by the store clerk and eaten directly as lunch. The ingredients are very solid and the taste is very fragrant. In fact, eating half a meal is really enough, and there is also this mellow milk tea as a base, which is enough to fill you up. I am just too ambitious. If I finish it all in one go, I will feel very greasy and I don’t want to eat dinner at all. Later, I grabbed a coupon for this Wellington for 19.9 yuan in the middle of the night, and also bought a coupon for a pistachio crispy croissant. I added an almond croissant to the store, and I also got a free egg tart for collecting and checking in, and I came back with a full load again. So far, I haven’t made any mistakes in the things I bought. There are too many varieties I want to eat. I will try them slowly in the future.

[Mint] Environment: It's a bit hidden on the first floor, but the store sign is very conspicuous. It's a self-selected form. I bought croissants and butterfly cakes. They all gave me gloves, so I didn't get my hands dirty when eating. |Chocolate butterfly cake^A super large butterfly cake, half chocolate🍫 and half original, the butterfly cake is relatively crispy. Several people shared it. |Pistachio burst black croissant^The black croissant is paired with green pistachio sauce, which is not bad. |Almond croissant^There are quite a lot of almonds on the surface, but there is no filling inside the croissant.

Follow this↑ to gather! Taking advantage of the improvement of the epidemic situation, there is no queue yet, come to check in at an Internet celebrity store. There is no queue yet. You can enter by measuring your body temperature at the door, but you cannot eat in for the time being. The store is equipped with a shelf with super large hot shopping bags, which is very eye-catching~ Pickled mustard greens Wellington: The skin is crispy, and the combination of pickled mustard greens and steak is very special. Black sesame soy milk roll: The cake roll skin is very soft, like eating clouds. Black sesame soy milk has a strong sesame flavor, not sweet or greasy. Steamed rice mochi milk tea: This tastes very similar to grandma's handmade, the tea base is more fragrant, and the mochi is thicker. Stir it before drinking. Oatmeal coffee mochi: This is not recommended. The oatmeal is a bit sticky and not chewy enough.

I came here to check in when it just opened. Later, I saw that it launched a limited-time sale of steamed rice mochi milk tea, so I quickly bought it. As a milk tea lover, how could I miss it? However, this time I obviously felt that it was not as filling as last time, and the taste was not as impressive as the first time. It may be because it was a flash sale with a cheaper price, the amount of rice mochi in it was also reduced, and the milk cap on the surface was a bit greasy after baking. I must admit that the best mochi milk tea in my heart is still the handmade one made by my grandma!

HOT CRUSH! Origin Future's grand opening at Central Plaza sparked a wave of queues. I was stunned to hear hours-long queues just for a few baked loaves. But curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to check in on the excitement. I was delighted to finally be inside after a short wait. [In-Store Environment] Before I even approached the store, a queue area was already established outside, with customers admitted in batches based on their number of people. Whether this was to create a more relaxed shopping environment or a deliberate marketing tactic remains to be seen. Regardless, following the line to the entrance, the first thing that caught my eye was the dynamic, modern signage, featuring English and Chinese characters (HOT CRUSH), alternately red and blue. Entering the store, the countless black arrows, red circles, and minimalist logos imprinted a powerful memory. The shockwaves of the store's staff, the shelves, the ovens, and even the entire logo wall adorned with hand-held bags... In the self-service area, customers can grab a tray, pull open the glass cover, and select their favorite baked goods. Bread, toast, cakes, croissants, puffs, mochi, pudding, and hot tarts are all baked to order. The highlight is the open kitchen, where several chefs are assigned specific tasks. Kneading, pinching, rolling, pressing, and baking... all in an orderly and organized manner, each with their own specific duties! With over 50 freshly made baked goods, there's sure to be something to suit your taste. There are over 20 varieties of fresh fruit and milk Oriental tea, and the use of a flame torch to heat the cheese milk cap is a real eye-catcher. It's a good show, even if it's just for fun. Service: The young waiter responsible for maintaining order outside was very friendly. He handed out a product catalog and guided customers in batches according to the flow of customers. He patiently explained current store promotions and how to check in for a free pineapple bun. The cashier was the busiest, but thankfully, checkout went smoothly. | Freshly Steamed Rice Mochi Milk Tea^ This is now available as a group buy. It's filled with soft and delicious mochi, thick taro paste, and a nice rice texture. It's perfectly sweet, perfect for my sweet tooth, but I think my lung capacity is a bit low, so I can't absorb the taro paste. | Preserved Vegetable Wellington Croissant^ This dark preserved vegetable Wellington croissant isn't particularly impressive, but it has a crispy crust, chunks of meat inside, and a light preserved vegetable flavor. | Pineapple Bun^ The pineapple bun I got for checking in was baked quite soft and tasty. I came here while it was hot and realized that everything can be served at Kosher. The three-stage queue has its pros and cons—it all depends on how long you wait! Take advantage of the new store opening hype and skip the line! Anything is possible!!! [Friendly Reminder] A word of caution for customers visiting the restaurant: on weekdays, the lines are usually shorter after the restaurant opens at noon, and the selection is plentiful. However, there are drawbacks to visiting in the evening to avoid peak hours, as many drinks and popular croissants are sold out. The lids of the drinks here have sliders that open, but they're not airtight, so they can easily spill. I took a cup of milk tea home for my family, and unexpectedly, half of it spilled on the way. This is a poor design, and I suggest the restaurant instruct customers to seal the milk tea separately if they're taking it home.
