Tucked away on the third floor of IFC Mall, the location poorly demarcated on Google Maps, Pierre…read moreHerme's Hong Kong outpost focuses entirely on the legend's iconic Macarons to the tune of roughly $6USD each and a minimum of four in a small tin. Focused on all the classics plus a few seasonal specials suffice it to say the choice of Pierre Herme versus the competition is like choosing Vacheron Constatin over Rolex in that only the truly discerning will care, even though the difference in quality is evident.

As much as I appreciate the tradition and history that Laduree possesses, Pierre Herme is the best…read morein the world for macarons. Bar none. In general, the macarons here display the right amount of sweetness, so when you're eating them, you won't feel them cloying your mouth. The macaron biscuit is fresh and crispy on the outside, while soft on the inside. I've had stale macarons before when I didn't know better and the offerings at Pierre Herme weren't. The flavors of the macarons set themselves apart from all others. They're quite unique and inventive. The creativity, while adventuresome, isn't going to confuse your taste buds to the point of frustration. I can't tell you my favorite flavor but the friend whom I bought macarons for the last time I visited: her favorite was the signature rose. Service is polite and patient. Yeah, it's weird that you have to buy a minimum of 7, but you'd want to buy more anyway, despite being rather pricey. The only drawback shopping here is that sometimes you have to deal with smug people that take up space at the counter and don't give a crap about anyone else. p.s. - why the heck isn't there a Pierre Herme in the States???

We tried the strawberry parfait shaved ice and enjoyed how they layered the syrup, panna cotta, and ice so that every bite was flavorful. While it looks huge in the photos, we were able to finish it off with two people fairly easily.

If you tried kakigori in Japan, do not expect the ones in HK to be the same. Shari Shari was on the…read moretop recommended for kakigori in HK. They have a couple of locations and I went to the one located in Central HK that was near my hotel. The shop was pretty small and was on the middle of an incline hill. The shop is pretty small and tight. There is only one person working in the front. The table we sat in was not clean. It was sticky and the employee did not bother to wipe it even when we were seated. We have to order through a QR code. There was a seasonal flavor which was strawberry sake at the time. I got the strawberry panna cotta kakigori. Strawberry panna cotta: The strawberry flavor was artificial. The inside of the kakigori was artificial strawberry cream and whipped cream. The shaved ice was icy and crunchy. It was not soft. It was made by regular tap water ice instead of the milk/cream ice that Japan would use. There was no panna cotta on the bottom. It was just more whipped cream that I think they were fooling us thinking we wouldn't notice. Overall, the kakigori was not cheap. It was about $20 USD. It was huge, the same size as you would get in Japan. I think the size is enough for 2 people to share. Another thing is that they include 10% service charge on the receipt. Barely any service but whatever, most restaurant in HK automatically include a 10% service charge. I recommend to try traditional HK dessert dishes instead of this fail imitation of kakigori.
