From Hong Kong with Passion & Sweet Bossa

Somewhere in Time
October 23rd, 2014

Hello dears, 

How have you all been doing?
I cannot believe it's October already! October is one of my favourite months...It's Autumn, Harvesting... an opportune time to turn over a new leaf in life with New Moon & Solar Eclipse in Scorpio, a plus!
...

Since my messy kitchen is temporarily closed due to renovation and that I have been buzzing here and there lately, it is such a lovely idea to hand over my October's special post to a dear friend of mine, Jaime...to share with you her favourite 3-in-1 sweet corner (patisserie, boulangerie and confiserie) in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. I hope you enjoy this very special tour with her...

Keep smiling...:-)

Cheers!

p.s Merci beaucoup, chère Jaime!!! 

Please enjoy your cuppa passion, infused with sweet, sensual & soothing voice of Coralie Clément...and feel free to refill your cup, of course! :)

My favourite pastry from my favorite Patisserie : PASSION BY Gérard Dubois

Once pop in this shop, I'm always amazed by their full display of desserts. I cannot resist each time to buy something, it is hard to pick just one...as they all look so good and delicious.

Cup cakes, Chocolate mousse, Crème brûlée , Tiramisu….to Milles Feuilles & Tarte au Citron, 

please tell me...how to choose…???!!!

One of my best favorite pastry there, that I fall in love with : Mon Chéri. Chocolate & Raspberry Macaroons are both my favorite and now they do have them combined together: The “Mon Chéri” with Grionttine cherries & custard filling inside the Raspberry macaroon...

how delicious and  amazing it is for me!

“Passion Chocolat” is my 2^nd selection, creamy dark chocolate mousse outside with sour passion fruit creamy stuffing are perfect matching. 

Lastly, I cannot resist the temptation of their homemade “Orange Cake loaf”, 

and feeling great to share it with friends or family as our high tea pastry.

Passion by Gerard Dubois

Passion, the latest venture by "La Rose Noire” opened its first shop in June 2012. The name of the shop echoes the lifelong passion of owner Gérard Dubois, a Swiss-born pastry chef, for delivering top-quality products. Here, patrons seeking a traditional French café experience can sit back to savour a crispy oven-to-plate baguette with a rich chocolat chaud, in a homey country cottage décor and the aroma of freshly baked bread.
