| - I'm torn because I really, really wanted to like this place. I walk by Furama every morning on my way to work at FCP. There are always line ups, let's face it, the place is hopping with a breakfast crowd.
So last week, I finally decided to try it out on my way into the office, since I was running late and very, very needed some food!
They do appear to have a wide range of pastries both sweet and savoury, and cheap at that.
I purchased an apple turnover pastry for $1.80 (couldn't believe how cheap it was). The pastry itself was a good size and the puffed pastry appeared to be cooked to perfection AND the pastry was still warm...yum!
Got to my desk and after getting my morning coffee from the office kitchen, I sat down to enjoy my breakfast...sadly, it was a huge disappointment. The filling was barely there, just a few token pieces of cooked apple and a few raisins, the pastry was a bit dry and I have to say it didn't taste all that great. I'm not sure if they just heat the pastries up in the morning before putting them out on the shelves or what, but it was defnintely not fresh.
After having tried the pastry, I'm guessing the lines are due to the low price point and not the good eats...so disappointed.
