#malaysia Chateraise is a patisserie from Japan located all around the world. We do have a few outlets in Singapore however none of them come as close in extensiveness because most of them are not with drinks menu or a huge area with seats and table. (Some of the Singapore outlets has 2-3 tables for a quick bite.) So we were very excited when saw a cafe styled Chaterais because we wanted to take a break. We tried cakes and some drinks with a cake. Note that the price in Malaysia or the same in Singapore.
