Some things in life you cannot get away with, well some can but I cannot and during the time I was…read morehere I wanted to buy something for my significant other just cause she was not on the trip, and from my friend in Hong Kong... I was brought into this place. There is chocolate.. and then there is La Maison Du Chocolat... you are practically going into the Louis Vutton, Prada, Hermes store of sweets if you decide to enter here, and expect to have money dropped, for some harder than others if you do not have any self control. This store is honestly a boutique for chocolate from La Maison, bringing their finest foot forward with their glass cases displaying sweets like jewellery at Tiffany's. I did not know what I was walking into, and when my friend brought me here, with her expensive taste I knew this was going to be trouble.. just trouble to my wallet, luckily for me I am on vacation and I have no problem getting stuff like this for someone special. You just have to come in here not questioning the prices and you will be fine (you can say that anywhere really, but you pay for what you get!). From the professionally dressed sales-girl, to the lighting bringing out the store this was going to be a different shopping experience. On the side you have displays of their gift boxes, all wrapped and ready to go, then you come to the glass cases showing their decadent selection of single piece chocolates (ganaches and pralines), fruit pastes in multiple flavours, some larger chunks of chocolates that look like brittles, and their signature selection of macarons. For the chocolate lover in you.. this place doesn't just have you covered... it goes above that, just remember: boutique experience. The sales-girl presented some samples for us to try, kind of like luring the bait.. well it worked, and during this time I was able to pick up something that is usual not in stores year round, a box of glazed chestnuts. I am one to spoil as well.. seeing in my opinion that this was not enough I decided to also pick up a box of fruit pastes, and just to finish it off, one more item: their 100% coro noir, practically pure chocolate. Everything was wrapped like I just bought a purse from Louis Vutton, and for good measure I had a macaron just outside of the store, bagged up... then eaten not to long after. Walking out, carrying my purchase... they definitely know how to market themselves to the high end clientele, the bags used were of the same quality as all the high end boutiques, even their catalogue which they included in the bag was of good weight. I will not say how much I spent.. but if you are comparing chocolate to.... some designer item... well let's just leave this as a mysterious amount. If you are looking for something special, something that will 'wow', something not available in most other cities in the world (I am from Vancouver.. and no... we do not have this brand!) and something that hopefully be remembered, come in here and be prepared to spend for some of the finer things in life. Enjoy, and don't blame me if you are broke!

This lovely chocolate boutique is a little hidden in the third floor in Pacific Place. On top of…read morebeing among fashion stores, it's right by a space being renovated so you wouldn't know it's there until you're just in front of its window. And what a window! You can't stay outside and look at it, you have to check it out inside. It's just too inviting. And you know, from the moment you get in, you'll buy something. I don't like milk chocolate; I think such a sweet treat ruins the whole concept of chocolate. For me, it has to be dark, the darker the better and it's not so easy to find this kind in most places. But they did have a few. Four different dark choc flavors, two mild, two stronger ganaches, which were the ones I bought (at 24HKD each little piece...). I love the fact that you can buy small pieces, that way you get to try different flavors and can also fix a sudden craving with a bit of chocolate, instead of having to buy a bar or a full box. Besides chocolates they also have macarons and some cakes, but to be honest I didn't pay much attention to those. I did look for gift boxes and they have a few on display but the combinations you can order is just awesome as I could see in their catalogue. It's expensive, but it makes for a great present if you are after something special. It's also dangerous that it's so close to my office and between a 85% dark chocolate small bar at 11HKD and a piece of delicious and good quality dark chocolate ganache...I'd still walk up to the third floor in Pacific Place.

Ok I have to admit that I don't know much about birthday cakes and high-end desserts... Every time…read moreI'm responsible for buying the birthday cake for a friend's birthday, I'll start picnicking. **** PANIC MODE **** OH SHOOT I need to buy a cake where can I buy a cake what kind of favorite I should get what price range is acceptable and not too crazily expensive or embarrassingly cheap? OMG OMG OMG Here were the options: 1. 50/50 2. Call a friend 3. Ask the audience Well then I did text a friend. **** PANIC MODE ENDED **** She gave me a name "Paul Lafayet". I don't even know who he is. I searched about it and found a store in IFC. Great, called and made sure they were open and would have ready-to-buy celebration cakes. For a usual store in IFC, opening till 9pm is very promising. I got to there, and it's a rather small shop, sharing with LGB. It's great that they "standard" cakes were not so standard - they were all pretty impressive. I got the Chocolate Charlotte. All cakes have one standard price HKD$320, it's on the high end of cake's price range (I think?!). But I got a free Crème Brûlée from HSBC platinum card, so yeah, I was pretty happy with that. We served the Crème Brûlée first as the birthday cake to the birthday girl, as a prank, and surprised her with the actual Chocolate Charlotte. We all loved it. We have all gone into the situation before where the cake is way too big as an after-dinner dessert, even for sharing. But this cake got a perfect size. Staff was nice enough to notice I was buying a birthday cake and offered to put a small "Birthday Cake" tag on the cake. And the taste. OH. Now I get it. The chocolate favor was so good that it wasn't too sweat, but also not too dark (dark chocolate should never be allowed on a birthday cake, imho). The chocolate base and lady fingers were both very crunchy and made the whole cake a good mix of different texture. Loved it. And I'll now remember the name Paul Lafayet.

Hong Kong is a francophile city. Everywhere you go you'll see Paris/French branded stores. They're…read moreobsessed with the fashion as well as food and that is evident in any shopping mall you go to. Within Pacific Place Mall right below Cova, there's a little new patisserie or an Eclairie (I coined this word) where you can find one of Paris' most famous tasty treats. Eclairs are not as simple as they appear. Their pastry dough has to be a certain consistency. The cream filling to the pastry dough ratio has to be high. The glaze has to match the cream on the inside. So at the end of the day, few "eclairs" can actually live up to these standards and ultimately fail. They become more like a jelly/cream filled donut. L'eclair De Genie is a French company that has found its way into this port city. Not only are their little pastries works of art, but they fulfill all the criteria that make the eclair and eclair. We had the salted caramel, blueberry chestnut, pistachio chocolate and the noel. All unique in their on respect and a perfect treat for afternoon tea. So if you have a chance to come by this mall, you MUST try L'eclair De Genie!

As I walked by the counter, I looked at the eclairs closer and saw that some of them are sparkling!…read moreReally, they add shimmering touch to their eclairs! And that is calling me. Passion Crispy Framboise: Crème fruits de la passion, crispy de framboises. The eclair has a sparkling glaze on it, topped with shimmering fuchsia pink crispy bits. The filling is a rich and dense cream, a tangy passion fruit flavor. The glaze is shiny and sparkles, the taste is very sweet like a thick marmalade. The eclair biscuit is soft. It's one of the rare moment where I take the time to slow down and enjoy the food. Contemplating how the eclair shines under the lights. They're like a piece of jewelry.
