Ex-Dorchester Pastry Chef Michael Kwan Is Opening an Asian-Inspired Bakery

ONSU is opening in Soho this January

Having spent time at Ladurée, Hakkasan, and The Fat Duck; being the former Executive Pastry Chef at The Dorchester; and currently chairing Team UK for the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie, it’s fair to say that Michael Kwan is a master of pastry. Now he’s opening his own bakery, ONSU, which’ll blend his Asian background with classic European techniques.

The offering at ONSU, opening on Dean Street this month, will include:

  • black truffle toast
  • black sesame doughnut
  • salted egg yolk mille-feuille
  • oolong & milk chocolate tart
  • hojicha milk pudding
  • popcorn & miso caramel Paris-Brest
  • wagyu beef curry bun
  • egg tart
  • spring onion & garlic focaccia
  • mentaiko shio pan

86°C Coffee, As well as those Asian-inspired bakes, the ONSU drinks menu will also feature the viral minus 86°C coffee from Shanghai, where the glass is frozen to -86°C to give the drink a slushy feel.

From 15th – 17th January, ONSU will be doing opening trays, featuring a bread, a pastry and a coffee for £4.90 (with only 500 available per day) before transitioning into the full menu from 18th January. Sounds like it’s gonna be another great addition to the city’s bakery scene.
