Rather than opening another retail shop at the lobby floor, Shangri-La at The Fort<\/strong> thought of opening a pastry shop we now know as Bake House<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not only do they whip up fresh pastries but are also dedicated to being eco-friendly and inexpensive.<\/p>\n

The blue and pink interiors stand out as you enter the hotel lobby, inviting you to come over at this one-of-a-kind bakery.<\/p>\n

Outside, you’ll notice fresh flower bouquets for sale, as well as a sign of their baking times: 6:30 a.m., 11 a.m., and 4 p.m.<\/strong> so you know when the bread is hot off the oven.<\/p>\n

Bake House has many pastries to offer and has become a passion project for their Executive Pastry Chef Anthony Collar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Using local and natural ingredients, they offer both sweet and savory delights that are free from trans-fat and MSG, while also\u00a0avoiding the use of artificial coloring and flavoring.<\/p>\n

Bake House is serious about being environment-friendly and avoiding the waste that they have created the Conscious Cookie (Php 60)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Made of kitchen scraps\u2014leftover dough, ingredients, or coffee grounds collected daily\u2014this cookie never tastes the same but is generally soft and nutty with hints of chocolate and coffee.<\/p>\n

“Instead of throwing away scraps, why now give it a second life? So that’s what we do,” Shangri-La at the Fort Communication Executive\u00a0Tiffany Go said. “There is no specific recipe because it varies every day.”<\/p>\n
