Central is getting another pastry pop-up this December, joining the likes of Richard Ekkebus’ pastry pop-up, Black Sheep Restaurants’ Butter Cake Shop at the Landmark, as well as Eric Raty’s two-day revival of his family’s Mr and Mrs Marshmallow event at Interval Coffee Bar. This December, Tsim Sha Tsui’s Dang Wen Li is set to join the other bread and pastry concepts, as Dominique Ansel’s first local shop crosses the harbour to open a pop-up store at IFC Mall.
Inspired by local tea treats reinterpreted as desserts, cakes, and pastries, Dang Wen Li opened early 2020 and has launched numerous limited-edition items throughout the year, from its highly instagrammable summer fruit-topped eclairs to floral jasmine and lychee cronut. The new pop-up is set to stay at IFC Mall for a few months, tentatively extending beyond Christmas and Chinese New Year
